New Roundhouse HO 2-6-0

[richg1998]

I just saw a message in a Yahoo group that this new engine is on
eBay.

Pay attention to Details. If it listed as a kit, it is the older
model, not DCC ready or easily made into DCC. Sounds weird but some
people would not notice this, only the price.
Some are DCC ready and some are DCC/sound equipped. Again, Details.

DCC ready is about $99 Caboose Hobbies Tony's Trains $95. This one has
the JST 9 pin connector for decoders that are 9 pin equipped. You supply decoder and speaker.

DCC/sound is about $152 Caboose Hobbies, $155 Tony's Trains.

Check first to see if the place actually has them.

Last year I bid on a Roundhouse HO 4-4-0 with DCC/sound and the ebay
seller never
had them in stock. He was speculating but never got enough replies I
guess. It
took me a month to get my money back. This happened to a few other
buyers also.
I did a search on the 'Net and the seller was noted for not responding or
delivering.
If the seller gives you a song and dance instead of a Yes, go elsewhere.

I am getting a DCC ready undecorated from Tony's Trains as I have my own
decoders and speakers.
Good luck.
