The back and forth about brand loyalty serves no purpose to me. I buy what I like in road names that are specific to the locale and era that I'm modeling. That means I have both Legacy and DCS locomotives. I suspect that will be the case for me for the foreseeable future.
At present MTH is pumping out special runs in roadnames that appeal to me. All equipped with DCS. I think it remains to be seen what the plans are for the tooling MTH retained. I do know that there are additional special run engines that have been announced that will be delivered well into next year.
