I am presented with a very good buy on the MTH 30-1168-0 which is a PRR Mountain with Locosounds. The engine looks prefect, ran beautifully, smoked like it was on fire. One of the marker lights is out but they are replacing it as part of the deal.
I'm just curious, should there be any sound besides chuffing, bell and whistle? I imagine I will have it upgraded to PS2 at a later time when I fully commit to command control, so I'm not bothered now, just curious.
I'm looking at the L1 due to be released in June 2014. The LHS is going to confirm they will get them before I have to make a deposit. I've already bought one PS2 diesel and was enormously pleased with it. And after some reading on DCS and Legacy I am leaning towards DCS. With the possibility of a Legacy base station if I ever want to add a Lionel Legacy or TMCC engine.
On the whole though, the DCS looks much less complicated. And the 2 systems seem to be equally capable.
