New Spectrum's with dcc and sound

Walthers has the 4-4-0 dcc / sound listed as item numbers 85101 thru 85105. $400!!! The 4-6-0’s dcc / sound equipped are 84901 thru 94907 and listed at $375. New road names / numbers for the Shay and 2-8-0 also.

They are showing a TBA for the shipping date. Reasonable to assume these are Tsunami equipped.

They should sell for a lot less. The 2-8-0 Consolidation, 2-10-0 Russian Decapod sold for under $150. and the 4-8-2 Heavy Mountain sold for around $175. from online stores.

The Tsunami decoder is specially produced for Bachmann and does not have all the features of a standard Tusnami decoder.

The three I referenced above do run good and sound good for the money. I don’t think they are worth list price and I wouldn’t pay list for them.

Check Micro-Mark. Their prices on Spectrum steamers are hard to beat most of the times.

I totally agree that they should ( and will ) sell for less. Nice to see some additional dcc and sound Spectrum steam loco’s.
