[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Gibson SINCE diffferent RR's used different horns on different engines in different era's, to hold out for a Specific horn sounds on mass produced models is not very realistic. First off: Most won't know the difference. Two: If you wanted one custom made to order - you couldn't afford it . Soundtraxx - on their Diesel infrared ($350) throttle had multiple tones to 'build' and customize your horn - from one tone up to 4 - and store it. Perhaps that would be for you?. ... TODAY: it isn't what you wish for as much as how much you are willing to pay for. [/quote] THAT´S IT !! We must accept this "COMPROMISE" (at the moment)! How many models will BLI produce of each version? 1.000? 2.000? I think the real number will be in the range of about 1.000. In this industry 1.000 IC´s are a very expensive singleorder !!!! An 10 different decoders, 1.000 pieces each series will cost much more than 10.000 decoders of one style - And 10.000 is also no real big deal ! When I think about this: I don´t think that BLI produces 10.000 models in one order - It sounds extreme to much! [:D][:D] And I know what will happen when QSI made such individual decoders: We see a new topic here! Because: locomotive #123 of RR XY was, as the only one of this order equipped with an K3L instead of a K3LA. BLI (or Atlas or ????) use this model as a prototype and had not realized this when they order the decoder !! What a shame! The next says that locomotive #456 had a defect exhaust silencer when it was painted in the prototype scheme, so the diesel sound was wrong! [:D][8D][8D][:D][;)]
