I belive that DCC Thomas is one of trainworld top pre orders.

Now I have some DCC suggestions

James Gordon and Toby would be nice to see soon

A Thomas version of the DCC 2 engine set would also be cool
It would come with Thomas,Percy, green mail car , cream tanker (set exclusive re-release ) , and spikeful brakevan.

If it were available, I would be in the market for one.

I think that more characters receiving DCC and sound would depend on how the sales are for the upcoming DCC Thomas and Percy models.  If not, it would be nice to at least see Bachmann upgrade some of their models to be DCC ready similar to the models that are available in the UK or even introduce a few different modules for the different characters, similar to the one Bachmann made for large scale.

The user Redtender5 is a great person to reach out to if you need any assistance or pointers to add DCC and sound to your current collection of models if you would like to have it taken care of sooner rather than later.

Dear Scott,
The 2-8-0 tooling is still extant; a reissue is certainly possible if there is enough demand.
Let's hope!

OK, i have investigated a little further this morning. I disconnected the motor wires from the decoder and powered the motor with a laboratory power supply. I set volts to around 5 and current clip to 500 mAh then connected the motor. Immediate current clip, the motor is toast.

Dapper indeed.
Thanks for the help.

I wonder if Gordon, Henry, Edward are getting small wheels likes James'?

I'm looking for Decals to customize some tank cars and mail cars in HO? Since their not going to reissue the lettering Font.

I basically place them back in their packaging and stack one up right and one down into a cardboard box.

Wow!  I know I'm an amateur in train modeling knowing that even with a ball park amount, 50 or more locomotives is way beyond my thought patterns.   I'm lucky to have 18 DCC loco's with 6 not by Bachmann.  I have 15 DC locos where 11 are not Bachmann, that is, Life-like, Tyco, Mantua, although they still work, they are all discontinued.  They are on my museum DC powered track.
There are 7 DC Bachmann's I want to convert to DCC, where 3 are MOW's.  This is where I run into a conundrum of either purchasing the Dynamis or purchasing the DCC decoders for the locos. I want to do both, but which to purchase first is where I'm at today.

Is it possible for Bachman to reintroduce this model or might there be a more current equal?

Thanks
