I emailed Athearn about it, but haven’t heard anything back yet. Does anyone know if their ‘Old Time’ 2-8-0 N Scale steam loco has a drop in option from any of the decoder guys?
If you look around you can find an MDC 2-8-0 that was made before the Horizon buyout. These are RTR with a decoder socket. Howver, if you wait until late summer, they will becoming out with one with sound installed that will cost you just about the same.
Ah, if a already DCC’d and sound model is coming, I’m in no hurry. Was just looking for what other engines I’d like to use.
