After keeping an eye out for some time I finally saw a scaletrains model with dcc and sound in the affordable try it range to me at the lhs today.
So after poking around the internet briefly to verify it was reasonably priced I now have one.
But what I gather is this version from scaletrains has a semi-hated esu loksound "essentials" sound decoder in it.
It's hated because the sounds cannot be reprogrammed using the loksound programmer. Something of interest to folks that buy loksound inside models.
But for now, this ok with me.
So this is a relatively cheap way to try out scaletrains ... Not run yet though. But looks good enuff.
