Title: SD70ace New Road names?Questions for the Bachmann
Post by: Trackbump on September 03, 2018, 05:32:34 PM
Hello,
Is Bachmann going to do any other Road names except the NS Heritage fleet?Also will they be offered without Sound Value  so we have the option to put full sound system in them without the cost of the limited sound system onboard,or just run DC? Just maybe offer them with a better more complete sound system since they only come with sound for the dcc fans?

I asked about the SD70ACE and ES44AC without sound and got the same answer last year, almost every other locomotive that Bachmann produces have both sound and non sound versions, if Bachmann did produce a non sound I would buy them.

So would many especially with the working ditch lights. Many discussions about that on many forums and they all say the same thing about a non sound version being offered. Sound Value sound in these is good ,but lacks air releases and brakes that gives the big diesel that realism of a auto function that they have at idle.    if you wanted the full sound to add yourself you have to take the sound value board out and sell it off to recover the cost rather then just buying one without sound. That makes many just go with another that offers it. Strange this one seems like the only loco that does this in their offerings.But just as Henrey Ford did when he invented the assembly line .Make them all the same to keep the cost down and make them affordable. That changed with the working ditch light upgrade in the second run ,or first run with operating ditch lights.Confusing.
