[:D][8D]Just got done the user installed parts of a new Atlas 8-40CW. Going to the MRR club tomorrow night and show her off. Dcc, and sound to boot!! Time now to break her in, and see what she's got. P.S. Man them parts are small. [8D]

Sounds cool, I will bet it was a lot of money. I could never afford any thing like that, but then again i have no use for sound and DCC right now

Well the price to me wasn't too terrible. I won't be running out and replacing my whole fleet anytime soon, but the addition of sound to me was worth it. Besides it's just plain neat!! Took her to the club tonight, had a boat load of ooooohhhhhhh's and aahhhhhhhhh's. She runs pretty good now i just need to get her a partner or two.

I have DCC but I've been avoiding sound like the plague. I'm afraid I'll get hooked and have to put sound in everything I've got. Sounds like you've got yourself a nifty locomotive, took box guy!

Danger, Will Robinson, Danger. Exposure to locomotives with sound is habit forming and with repeated exposure can be addictive. Once you've run with it you never want to go back. Happy railroading!
