Dear Ed, Judging by our sales of SHS 2-8-0 as well as the recent sale of switchers, we sell more DCC sound versions by far than DC, DCC no sound, AC/DC or LocoMatic combined When we first had the pre-sale of the 2-8-0s, they were ordered at 60% LM, 20% DC no sound and 20% DCC Tsunami sound. Once we had the 3 2-8-0s with DCC Tsunami sound at Brooks Stover's layout at the NASG convention a few years ago, everything changed. DCC sound out sold all other versions combined. Our recent sale of switchers, 75% we sold with the extra cost of DCC sound. Don
