[Adam1989]

Can anyone tell me the differences between the various versions as I cant seem to find alot as I have found at least two model numbers 22892 and 20892.
Thanks Adam

Ok @Adam1989 hope this helps. These are all with tender.
22892 is tender one numbered 250, MTS sound and on board decoder.
20892 as 20892.120 but numbered 251, sound 6 pin decoder interface.
21892 similar numbered 251, sound but 6 pin decoder interface.
20892.120 as 21892 but numbered 250.

The ones without tender are 20892, 21881, 23881 but you did not appear to show interest in these, they have 6 or 10 pin decoder interface only 20892 has sound.

Info from LOK catalogue of LGB products.

There's also 23892 with tender, number 251, like 22892 it has MTS decoder with sound.

Also a typo in your "tender-less" list Jon, first one should be 20882 not 20892.

No tender was the Unitah version (only went 25 miles), with tender they are SV Sumpter valley. Reason was SV had a longer track and needed more water and coal.

So I managed to get one 22892

Reviving an old thread. Do the 20892 and 22892 (SV Mallet) operate identically on DC track power, sound and all? Looking at the later version but plan to use DC.

Yes, they should do. All MTS-fitted LGB locos will operate fine on DC, and the sound will still work if fitted (you'll get the running sounds, plus you might be able to get some standing sounds if you're VERY careful on the controller knob) with bell and whistle triggered by track magnets.

It's only when you get the the very new M-LGB with MFX decoders that things get a bit more complicated...

Jon.
