Title: Truly Awsome DCC with Sound loco for 2014
Post by: longbridge on May 10, 2014, 11:52:48 PM
This has to be the most amazing model locomotive ever built, its the 2014 Lionel Vision Series O Scale Big Boy, don't know if these mighty features will ever make it into N Gauge but who knows.

Watch the video to the end and see the features IMO its a total knockout.

If they ever bring that out with all of the detail and sound fitted in N gauge, I
dread to think of the cost :o

:hmmm: Second mortgage  :worried:

Wow, just wow! I'm emailing that link to my Dad, someone who I am trying to convince to get his OO gauge stuff back out out again - he's amazed at the progression in technology after a 20 year break from railway modelling.

Does anyone know what the minimum radius curve that this 4-8-8-4 can negotiate?

Approx $2000 pre-order, so might as well get an extra just for spares  :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:
