Does anyone know when in May these are supposed to “hit the street”? I found on several different websites that they are due in 2008. These are sound and dcc equipped with the Soundtraxx Tsunami decoders. A 4-4-0 with the same Tsunami is also due to be out this year. My LHS does not know either…
If they dunno, It hasn’t been settled. Try the Walther’s site.
The site I have looked at say Spring 2008. The stuff is made in China. Maybe the locos are in a container in Los Angeles Port.
Don’t forget, the to be released HO Spectrums will not have all the decoder features that come with a stock Tsunami or Micro-Tsunami decoder. but they are acceptable. The sound is very good and very good speed control. I have installed the Micro-Tsunami in my HO steamers including the Richmond 4-4-0.
And search the 'Net before buying any of the new Spectrums. The 4-6-0, 4-4-0, Shay with sound $400 retail. Micro Mark $208. Your mileage may vary.
