Dear Mr. Bach-Man:

     Please tell your superiors to consider manufacturing this thing without its decoder.  Many of us do not use DCC.  This thing is an excellent creeper on straight DC (or as 'straight' as recitified DC can be), and all this without pulse or flywheels.  Removal of the decoder would also allow for extra weight both to increase pulling power and improve electrical contact.

Thank you.  This is an excellent locomotive and a prototype that N scale has needed for some time.

It could actualy be possible that if they make with and without versions they'll be more expensive, and seeing they run on both and also dont need more pulling power ( they already pull 5 times  the prototype ) what would be the point of no DCC.
