No sign of Daisy, Peter Sam, or anything else from last year's NMRA yet.
Will any of these new locos be DCC Ready like the UK releases?
No word on that yet. Certainly the LBSC Thomas looks like it'll be carrying the new visual and detail changes made for the UK release. The only thing that sort of throws the DCC aspect in the air is that it's the NEXT18 pin system, which Bachmann only introduced to the UK a few years ago. So whether they'll just introduce it to the US and the other markets with the DCC ready models is unclear.
It's just a bummer that the moulds could not be modified. :(
