Bachmann Trains - Thunder Chief DCC Sound Value Ready To Run Electric Train Set - HO Scale

This the neatest F7a plus three car train set ever. I say this because basic American Train Sets since the 1950s/60s have always featured this formation. Bachmann's Thunder Chief has an F7 that has close coupling at the rear - something never found in F7 train sets for so many years; sound function and a crisp, beautiful rendition of the Santa Fe Cigar Band Livery.Yes, it's true, the cars have plastic wheels, and it only has an oval of track - but it is, without doubtTHE COOLEST F7 TRAIN SET AVAILABLE EVER!The quality and appearance of the F7 Diesel included here is immensly superior than the more recent Blue Lightining EZ App Set.A more technically advanced digital offering with FT loco ( a horrible 1970's shell and a rear coupler that sticks out a mile ), The Blue Lightening set is an example of Bachmann slipping up in the 'aesthetics' quality control departmentGet the Thunder Chief with this beautiful F7a while you can!

Hi I finally got my train and it's awesome 👌 well worth the wait runs great everything works as it should I am very pleased with it.

Me encantó el sonido realista.

magnificos sonidos y silbato de tren reales para ferromodelistas de muy buena calidad y su control digital para poder alternar al mismo tiempo otros trenes digitales

Seems very well made especially the engine nice and heavy with metal wheels of course. The cars all have plastic wheels but seem to work well. I love the automatic couplers and the re-railing track works perfectly. Track went together easily however care must be taken to make sure the joints go together properly because it's easy to misalign if not paying attention. The sound is awesome and I love that my 2 year old son can run it without worrying about it flying off the track at full speed. Nice design feature that the train can run at full power without de-railing. Could not be more pleased just hope that it lasts for many years to come.
