As far as the Rivarossi it is dc you will have to buy a decoder to get dcc control and sound,Might want to check out soundtraxx. The atheren is dcc an dc but if you spend a little time searching the forum you will find alot of mixed reviews on this engine.If you are loking for top quality steam with dcc and sound right out of the box Broadway limited Class a 2-6-6-4 and Life Like hertiage 2-8-8-2 both have qsi sound the best going in ho scale.These are the top two manf. of big steam with the best sound and detail.Lionel had two releases this year a Challenger like your athern but with Qsi sound instead of the mrc installed in the atheren,it also has had some mixed reviews.There other release was a ge gas turbine ,not steam but very cool and the turbine sound is outstanding.Welcome to the hobby,good luck here in the states
