4-4-0

The info I have seen on the 4-4-0 say DDC equipped.  Will you have DCC \ SOUND models available in the early runs?

Dear SJ,
There is no sounf unit in the immediate future. As I have said repeatedly, my guess is late '08 for sound.
Have fun!

Bachmann,
              how about getting the model maker to make a original type wood cab and some flanged domes and a wood burning stack.
the some box appears to be a add on anyway.

You could then have a : (1) original version (2) immediate version (3) modern version. WOW!!!!!! Royce

PS and if this sells well enough you could even alter the frame and make a small mogul...now who would of thunk of that.

Sorry! in last post I meant to indicate that the extended smoke box appears to be a seperate piece making a simple conversion to a earlier engine.

If this engine had a short smoke box,flanged domes and a earlier style cab then it would pass for a 1870 on engine.

This was the spirit of the early narrow gauge, buy cheap ,use relay rail from standard gauge railroads and build flimsly bridges.
