I have no means of purchasing new. While the extra details are nice to look at, I like the durability of the late 90s - early 2000s locomotives better.
While having sound is nice, command control is dated technology - and the current electronics are a future burden.
So rather than waste my precious financial resources on command control and new locomotive options, I'm buying used PS1/ PS2 / TMCC locos, with the plan to remove the electronics and replace them with RC or Bluetooth control.
