[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by WilmJunc Has there been any word as to the cost of the Tsuami once it is released? If it's a significant increase over their current decoders and approaches $200, it's going to be tough to justify purchasing an aftermarket sound decoder. [/quote] Most after market sound will cost more than if you buy the package as offered in the unit. That is just a fact of marketing that if you buy more, some kind of discount is in order. The Tsuami will be worth the wait and money it if you want all of the options they are listing and are willing to pay for it when it is available. The sound offered in most of the present models is so generic that it is toy like in many cases, but not all are like that. None of the steam offers cylinder***sounds on starting or drifting sounds or almost quiet when moving slowly in a yard without a load. The turbo generator is really poor in most of the offerings to date also. This is what I love to hear around a stream locomotive. My Genesis Challenger yells out Board evertime I hit Function 6. I would like to see better standards of functions with all of the new locomotives on the market. I plan on getting at least two of the Tsuamis, but have cancelled my orders for the time being, since I have already waited two years. After the unit is on the market and the evaluations are in, that is the time to make up your mind on the product versus price. No way this is going to speed up the delivery of the new Tsuami.
