I like the BLI locos with sound and will acquire one or two more. I see no need for DCC or a reason to spend the $$$ to change over to it. .DC has worked fine for my last 56 years in HO. I have a teenage grandson who is nuts about trains (like me) who can't afford the new Atheran and, soon I fear ,MDC prices. Me thinks the "ENRON TYPES" have wormed their way into the hobby.....Prices climbed at reasonable rates for years until the past few when they went bonkers..go by some brass for instance and just look at the over-priced junk on e-Bay for sale. Something is really starting to smell in model railroading. There are alot of young folks out there who will very frankly tell you they would love to get into model railroading but, it's too expensive and sadder than that <br />scratch-building is virtually unknown to them as an inexpensive way into the hobby. <br />Yes, models got better, ran better,looked better etc.,etc..and we got alot of what we wanted..Did we along the way close the door to future generations???
