Dear N Scalers: Athearn has posted
images of the soon to be released Challanger. Enjoy. (PS - if you
have not yet reserved one for yourself don't wait. We are almost
completly allocated/sold out. So call us if you would like to have
a copy of this great engine with Sound)
This stunning reproduction of the 4-6-6-4 Challenger is the
result of a focused determination to accomplish one thing: create
the finest operating miniature representation of the prototype
available.
Giving life to all the details are authentic sounds that are
channeled through a factory installed DCC and soundboard with
speakers. The DCC decoder automatically senses what type of power
supply is in use (conventional DC or NMRA compliant DCC) and adapts
its functions. The modeler doesn?t have to do a thing.
Functions and sounds available to DCC users include:
Bell
Whistle
Water injector
Air release
Blower hiss
Fire box door
Lighting direction
Coupling
Brake squeal
Conductor?s voice
Sand release
Cylinder cock/flange squeal
A handheld wireless controller is included for use with
conventional DC power supplies. With it, modelers can control six
sound functions as well as speed and direction.
The N Scale 4-6-6-4 Challenger includes a history book and
instruction book for quick reference.
