Hi
Anybody seen / run this?  Advertised as DCC installed
Bachmann HO 587411-DCC-Thomas the Tank Engine with dcc decoder installed (Otter Valley Railroad Model Trains - Aylmer, Ontario Canada)
$200 NZ dollars inc shipping - not bad really
Thanks

Hi, thanks for offering to search a website, but I think I have to give up this wee quest. 
I'm in Christchurch, New Zealand and I've phoned several model shops all over NZ that could usually fit a chip and all say 'No, Thomas is too small'
Getting Thomas fitted off shore is a bit out of my price league too
I was just hoping to find something off the shelf already done.
Thanks again  :)

Hi guys,
been looking at the online shop, (yes, and Hornby, sorry) and I can't see too much of Thomas and Friends that is DCC.
In fact I can only see Edward and James (Hornby) that are DCC ready.
My local shop said Thomas isn't big enough to make DCC.
Any thoughts from you guys?  Can't really get Edward and James without Thomas, and Emily (Bachmann) is a good looking loco.
I suppose I would be pushing it to find Thomas and some friends with sound???  For the grandkids of course ;)
Thanks

Hi ya,
I was given this train as a gift (Walthers Proto Steam Collection USRA 0-6-0 Steam Locomotive) but I run Hornby DCC with a Select Controller.  (Yes, I apologise, I know this is a Bachmann forum)  Can I, (will it fit) add a DCC Sound decoder.  I'm just starting on this model train thing, can somebody tell me if it is two separate chips or does one decoder run the movement & sound?
Look forward to you replies.
Thanks
Got this for Christmas too (HO DCC Sound Bachmann Spectrum USRA light 2-10-2 Seaboard (SAL) 2489)  Too busy to have it out of the box yet, hope she runs on 18" radius?  What do you folk think of it's running and sound?
Thanks again
