This announcement is still a little bit in its infancy in that we only discussed all of this Saturday.
- Dummies are a funny animal. Some people want them and some don't. For this project though dummies might be possible. Traditionally they are not a lot cheaper to build than a powered unit, but for 3 rail if there are enough orders for them, anything is possible.
- We did discuss 50th anniversary schemes. I would expect that they will be offered.
- DCS is not going to be an option. Scott has the license for ERR boards. I would expect that the cost to license it and put it in the 20-30 locomotives that might be ordered with it would be offset by purchasing one with a factory ERR board and replacing it with DCS. The ERR board has the ability to accept different sounds and I expect we will get a good GE sound set for it.
I have the same challenge as everyone else on the overall announcement. I will want three FP45s for my EL Capitan, three SDP40Fs for my Southwest Limited, and at least two P42s of which one is the "Pepsi-Can" 50th Anniversary scheme for my Viewliner / Amfleet Consist.
Add to that a set of Superliners too. Probably Phase III paint for me, but some in Phase II paint might be interesting to mix with my former El Cap cars. Then again, I have some K-Line Superliner IIs in phase IV paint. This could be quite the challenge!
