 This Norfolk & Western USRA Heavy Mountain 4-8-2 Steam Locomotive (#118) is a
                DCC Sound-Equipped Spectrum® Model by Bachmann®.
                          Suitable for Ages 8 & Older.

FEATURES: Equipped with DCC On Board® technology, which allows you to
            digitally control the direction, speed, and lighting of this
            locomotive using Bachmann's E-Z Command® Digital Command Control
            System (BACU4402), or any NMRA-compliant DCC system.
          The decoder itself features the following:
            * 2 and 4 digit addresses
            * advanced consisting
            * dimmable lighting
            * settable acceleration, decleration,
                starting speed, and much more!
          100% backwards-compatible with standard DC (non-digital) layouts.
          Equipped with a 28-speed step decoder.
          Main track programming.
          Also equipped with a state-of-the-art Digital Sound Decoder that's
            based on SoundTraxx® Tsunami® Digital Sound Technology. The
            decoder has been designed with a powerful Digital Signal
            Processor (DSP) and:
              * Supports extended address mode for assigning any
                  locomotive number up to 9,999
              * Supports advanced consist addressing
              * Supports "Operation Mode Programming," allowing CVs to
                  be changed on the mainline without using a programming
                  track
          The automatic dual mode decoder is set to operate immediately
            using either a 12 volt DC power pack or NMRA-compatible
            DCC command station.
          Many advanced throttle features including:
            * Programmable acceleration, deceleration and starting
                voltage for prototypical starting and stopping
            * Use of standard and alternate speed tables
          The 16-bit sound processor provides:
            * Adjustable volume control of each sound effect individually
            * 1-watt audio amplifier
            * Auto-Exhaust allows chuff to be synchronized to the locomotive
                speed without the complexity of a synchronizing cam
          All of the steam sound effects have been re-mastered and re-digitized
            for the best audio possible:
              - Steam Exhaust Chuff     - Airpump
              - Bell                    - Dynamo
              - Whistle                 - Water Stop
              - Short Whistle           - Brake Squeal

            timbre as locomotive load changes.
          Powerful motor.
          Operating headlight.
