Hi, I hearded that Bachmann will be making new ON30 announcemnts in February.

I have two questions about this.

1.Is this true

2.What will be the dates of this show?

Not trying to be pushy but I'm deciding if I am going to do HO or ON30 and this decision will be made by if Bachmann does anything Colorado Narrow Gauge this year. I really want to do ON30 but since I can only get one locomotive for my proto-type that I have space/money for I am really holding my breath.

What locomotives are you using?

That's not ugly! Just cause it's boxy dosen't men it dosen't look good. Besides anything in Rio Grande looks good.

Are there add-on solutions that just add sound to the existing decoder?

Yes, Soundtraxx makes them but I would recomend that you gust go all the way and get a Tsunami instead.

Their are not any DC pnly sound systems that are really good. However almost all DCC sound systems work on DC. If you want a plug in installition then you should probaly go with Loksound decoders. These produce verry good sound but are a little spendy.

Is it the DCC equiped version. If it is than no(although if you really want it there are "after-market" products avlible. If it a older version you will have to ask some-one else.

I can't pick just one but here are my top.....

Steam
Frisco #1522
D&RGW #346
Hillcrest Lumber Co. Climax #10
Colorado & Southern #22

Diesel
SD70ace
