RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted June 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 12, 2021 As an old analogue dinosaur, is it possible to get a plain DCC ready version of the B36-7's? I have no interest whatsoever in DCC and or sound! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest whatsoever in DCC and or sound! For this second run no - because these were done as a "the factory has spare time and needs something to do" project the number of units made is low and they only did DCC/Sound (as that dominates sales in North America). Basically they only offer the DC only option on the standard pre-order announcement/releases. You may be able to find a DC only version from the first run if that had any paint scheme that interested you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The various manufactures have commented on this. Generically speaking, some of the decision making involves these (and other) issues/concerns: to they have suitable tooling (more of an issue for Athearn Genesis/ST Rivet Counter/Rapido) are they offering any other products in that paint scheme that would compete for hobby $ (offering 2 different NYC locos for the 1950s at the same time means 1 or both won't sell well - there is only so much $ available) in conversations with other manufacturers, do they have a competing product coming up sometime a paint scheme may get chosen because it complements something - for example rolling stock to go with a loco(*) which leads to extra sales for both items how much they want to take on in any given run (Rapido have said the SW1200 and its many, many paint schemes all at once was a mistake from a design time perspective and factory time perspective) anything else that they don't comment on. Rapido are well aware of the SP market - they have sold a lot of SP models in recent years and Jordan is a SP fan. Thus it is a reasonable guess that SP will appear at some point even if for whatever reason it didn't make this run. * - arguably one of the issues the Rapido steam program is facing is a lack of accurate rolling stock - both freight and passenger - for the steam locos to run with, an unfortunate side effect of the Canadian railroads of that era running a lot of unique to Canada stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
