Kim;
I am very much into sound and i already have an LGB diesel sound and i don't want my lcos to sound the same.
I like the idea of a small unit that buzzes around and sounds like the real thing.
You are right though i got such a good deal on the LGB 20970, the sound is going to cost double, the cost of the unit itself.

Ian, I think the sound on one of these units would just be a simple diesel engine, is it worth the expense of a Phoenix unit when an LGB one would suffice?
Kim
Well people i now own one, LGB 20970 Postal service.
I bought it for not much money at all really on ebay and i am sending it to get a Phoenix sound put into it. All in San Diego Ca .
Tom if you read this i would ask you what sort of suburb is Lakeside?
Thanks Kim but don't go to too much trouble, I know where i can get one for a ridiculously low price and i am going to buy it; and i agree with everything you have said.
I will let you know how i go; the people selling it are really ignorant and wont reply to any of my enquiries. Normally I wont deal with people like this but i don't think they have any idea of what they are about and i am going to take a chance.
If i get it; I am going to send it right over to Phoenix to have a classy sound system put iin it, i think a few people on the forum will be interested in this. If you arew please let me know
Hi Ian,
I think this model is a re-release of a pre MTS loco, but it is now fully equipped. I'm going to Bay Models on Sunday, they have them in stock and I'll find out everything I can about it and the price. I will also send you their contact details then you can do a deal if you wish. Get back to you on Sunday afternoon, which will probably be Monday morning for you!!
Cheers,
What are you actually saying, some do and some don't?
The person selling it is an ignoramus and will not answer any emails, so i cant find out for sure one way or the other, its brand new though. They only want US$175. i saw one going for about GDP 180 and another in Germany they want 600 Euros for.
What do you think?
Be wary Ian. I seem to recall this one being around many years ago and that would most certainly not have been ready for MTS.
Anything i can get would be appreciated; i know where i canget one for a good price; if its got a decoder its an absolute bargain. I had the idea that it would be unique and one day might be worth a bit.
It is fitted with an MTS decoder but it is also a discontinued item and only available in dealers whilst they have it in stock. It has no sound card fitted. I have seen one in Bay Models and it is quite a good looking item. It is still shown on the LGB website if you want more info.
Does anyone know much about this item, i would like to find out as much as i can.
Has it got a decoder and/or sound fitted as standard; does anyone know?
