[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BoRockhard What do you guys think about this? I notice lots of threads stating that locomitves that come with sound/DCC are more of a bargin than just coming DCC ready and adding your own decoders. I am one of the people who welcome this. I view sound as a bonus and if I can get the engine I want without paying an extra $150 for features I don't want, then I'm a happy camper. How many modelers are intrested in BLI locos without sound? Sound is the "big thing" of this decade, but I'll bet some people still don't care for it. I hope they're still offering non-sound steamers when that AC-9 comes out! [/quote] It will make the new models available to more people and take less time to build them without all the extras, so BLI should be able to increase their sales and please more customers. I too hope they build an AC9, but don't count on it. Have you sent in a wish list to BLI? I believe the sound on most of the BLI models is worth the price, even if some of the sound modules are incorrect in some ways. They did correct the chuffing on the Santa Fe Northern and the PRR J1. Both were incorrect and they sent out chips to correct the problem after many customers complained. I have found their service department to be very good at fixing problems like I mentioned and will continue to purchase models with sound.
