BACHMANN SPECTRUM AMTRAK ACELA

(1/1)

Morebassman:
Has anyone tried to convert the Bachmann Spectrum Amtrak Acela to RailPro?
I'm not familiar with Bachmann and I would like some pointers before I dive into this project. I haven't yet purchased one, since a set is about $400.00.
The size of the railpro module is what concerns me. Will it fit?

KB02:
Pop the shell and see what you've got underneath. Is it DCC ready or Dual mode?

This may help? https://roundhouseworkshops.wordpress.com/2022/01/16/bachmann-acela-adding-dcc-sound-leds/ .

I've no idea if the internals (size and shape of the weight) have changed in time but I wouldn't think it would have. As there is more than one thing called Acela TCS  also has an install page for the double ended Acela locomotives.

Thanks! That helps a lot. Looks like I can do an install. Now I have to work the price within my budget.
