Loco-sound in MTH RTR 2012 Catalog

pennsydavepennsydaveOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Is anyone else surprised or amazed that there is one Loco-sound listing in the new RTR catalog?  It's for the PRR 4-6-0 Steam Freight Set. It used to be that Loco-sound was $100 less than Protosound but now it is only $70 less than PS-3. I thought Loco-sound died years ago but I have noticed this in the last few catalogs that there is always one or two listings with it.  Does anyone have any details on the reappearance of Loco-sound or are they just trying to sell off the few remaining boards?

I would think they would save those boards for repairs.

I suspect this is more of an attempt to satisfy those who want Conventional engines and do not want Proto-Sound Command Boards in the engine (due to expectation of failure).

A loco-sound engine will probably still run if the sound fails, just quietly.

I have one to verify this, just have not needed to open it up to see how it works.

Perhaps I'll have time to check it this weekend.
