Guys,
I am looking at Bachman-Williams FA-2 diesel sets, particularly the conventional ones without Command Control. In particular this one:
O-27 Alco FA-2 Powered And Dummy AA Set Santa Fe - True Blast Plus
Product SKU: 20093
O-27 Alco FA-2 Powered And Dummy AA Set Santa Fe (blue/yellow) w/True Blast Plus
Sales price $239.00

Description
Locomotive Features:
- AA length 22", height 3 1/2"
- 4 wheel trucks with traction tires
- dual motors with coasting action
- electronic 6-amp reverse board
- True Blast Plus 16-bit polyphonic sound including prime mover, horn, and bell
- die-cast frame, trucks, and truck sides
- die-cast operating front couplers
- front headlights
- illuminated marker lenses and number boards
- add-on metal steps
My question is, if you just run the engine, and not the dummy with it, do you still have the True Blast Plus sound system with bell and horn? Or, are the mechanics for this situated in the dummy unit, so you have to haul that dummy.
I tried research this question, but could find no answers.
These are popular FA-2 sets, and are still around for sale in various railroad names. So, I am hoping someone may have one.
Thanks,
Mannyrock
