HO American Freedom #4449 Question for the Bach-Man

[Jock The New Engine]

Mr. Bach-Man, it's me, do you think it's possible for you to make Non-DCC versions of the HO GS4 #4449's?   It's hard to afford them with DCC so could you try selling versions of them without DCC?

[Guilford Guy]

I think they do make them without DCC. In reality, its not much cheaper, and if you plan on using DCC in the future, why not get the loco with DCC now?

you could sell the decoder

As far as i've checked, i haven't seen a single one w/o DCC anywhere...   But why isn't it that much cheaper?

[Daylight4449]

it is at non dcc the sites price was $114 nut dcc jumped it up to $159 i haven't checkked lately but sound should bring it up more.

[Jock The New Engine]

wait...  SOUND!?!?!?   But...  I've seen the DCC version at my local hobby store and I witnessed it run and it didn't have any sound decoders built-in... weird...
