I vote for a DCC ready 2-6-0 too.  But in the mean time it's up to us.  Like you guys the idea of taking a loco apart and adding DCC and sound was kind of scarry.

But with the tutorials on the Pacific Coast liner site I took a chance.  I thought I would start simple.  I bought one of the Bachmann DCC ready 2-8-0's, a Tsunami sound card and a speaker. 

Along with an $8 soldering iron and an afternoons work I have a DCC 2-8-0 with great sound!

So excited with that job I just bought a 2-6-0 and as soon as I get the rest of the electronics I'm going to try to put DCC Sound in it.

Please, Please, Please!  We need the Mason Boggie 2-6-6T.  With your other great offerings this one is a must.
