Who cares what kind of NOISE it makes if it doesn't LOOK like it SHOULD. It's a model, NOT a sound system! I want my money going toward a CORRECT model. If I want sound I'll turn on the stereo.

Me! You do what you like, but I get my opinion as well. Considering the amount I spend on my hobby and the fact that I'm still in my 40's I'd say my opinion is valid.
Describes your attitude perfectly. So everybody gets to pay for all the electronic CRAP that you want. A basic model without all the junk costs both of us the same amount. Your way, EVERYONE that wants a basic engine has to pay for junk that YOU want.
What if I want battery power and you want DCC? Would you like to pay for a Loco with battery power installed as standard, only to have to rip it out and put in DCC.

You might want to take the time to actually read my comments before criticizing me there Sparky....
My advice to Scott was to eliminate the electronics all together so DC people were happy, the price was lower, and DCC people (like me) could install the decoder of our choice.
"I’m a 3rd Rail fan, but I have never understood the decision to go with a hardwired decoder. Especially QSI. With Most two railers being DC the logical choice would have been to just offer a DC model and let the DCC folks install their own. Better yet do what Atlas did and install a DCC motherboard with a DC shorting plug that can be replaced with a decoder if desired." -From my first post on this thread :-o
So why don't you stop YELLING at me long enough to realize that I am advocating for you. Bet you feel silly now! Or are you just that grouchy? Maybe because your trains have no sound... Studies show (probably) that people who's models have sound are happier with their hobby. LOL J/K
