[cmf1965]

High Gang...
I need to know the following:
1) Original M.S.R.P. of the above loco
2) IIRC, the release date was: Fall-2003
3) Is this DCC?
4) Approximate value of loco mint-in-box?
Thanks for your time, & consideration,
Regards,
AL

My understanding is as follows:

1) Original MSRP was $350?
2) not sure
3) Not DCC, but DCC ready. You it's wired for DCC, but there's a dummy plug inside. Remove that and plug in a decoder, and it will run properly on DCC.
4) Current production goes for about $200-$250 on the Internet, usually including DCC.  A DCC decoder runs about $20 and should be about a 15 min job to install as long as you're careful.
