Bachmann 57xx Pannier

#1

Post by Too Tall »

Hi all, I just got one of these from the auction site, at what I feel, was a nice price (will see when it arrives !)
I will give it a DC test session on a RR (as its all I have in 00 at the moment), but eventually I will want to fit it with DCC sound.
The Model number that I should be getting is 32-210 which should have an 8 pin dcc ready socket.
I have looked but can not find a YT vid or forum posting with pictures of the procedure, so wondered if anyone knows of any they can link me too please ? (predominantly want to see what room there is for decoder, speaker and stay alive if possible).
Also any recommendations for the best decoder/sound profile to get would be welcome :)

Although you don't say what decoder you're planning on using, these guides cover the techniques:https://www.youchoos.co.uk/Index-Resour ... annPannier

It seems there are a number of models from Bachmann that fit the title so they've included them all (at the time of publishing of course).

Fitting a decoder is usually straightforward if it is 'DCC ready' the main difficulty on any 'DCC ready' loco is getting into it!

Cheers IanS :)
Yep undecided on decoder as yet, but those guides give me an idea of room available :)

It arrived today, exactly as described (which isn't always the case!) so I am a very happy camper for £55 delivered for a mint looking GWR pannier.
The box or instructions do not mention anything about a DCC socket, but Hattons "bible" says it has. Yet to open her up but no great issue if not.
