Would you buy a stripped down version of a locomotive with only reverse included, if the said model came with standardized plug and play that would allow you to chose from a variety of add on modules such as smoke, crew talk, sound etc? This would be in replacement of "mandatory" add-ons.

Yes--so I could use in MU fashion....Greg
Absolutely!
Definitely, especially on diesels. All I want and need is FNR,horn and bell. I don't need,want or use any of the extras. That's why I buy WBB diesels.
Matt
Yes!
Nope, I would prefer plug n play from factory. This feature shouldn't be expensive and provides future upgrades.

I'm with Alan D. I'd want to buy it all in the package rady to go

Absolutely - "a la carte" please.
Bare bones PLEZ!!!! I have bought a few high dollar locomotives with dead electronics CHEAP! A MTH Premier GP-30 DOA but after a $25 WBB DCU I have less than $80 and a fantastic engine!! Horn, bell and sound can get old quick with me and I run conventional......so dumb locos for me!
No!
The last thing I want to do is open a new engine and mess with that spiders web of wiring.

I would like to be able to change out a conv. e-unit to TMCC. I do not need sound except for a horn. But I do do W/WBB.

Absolutely, I don't have an unlimited budget to spend on trains and if I could buy a locomotive without all the bells and whistles but could easily add them later, that would be fantastic.
YES - sounds great to me. The main reason I don't often buy new engines is that they're loaded with features that I would pay for but not have use for.
YES, been asking for this as long as I've been on the forum. The naysayers always seem to shoot it down.
