Just a couple comments relating to these models having DCC decoders already installed.  First, they should either be dual-mode decoders, or be able to be easily removed so they can run on non-DCC layouts.  Second, many modelers who are using DCC have their own preference as to what type of decoder (brand, functions, sound, transponding, etc) they prefer.  Offering them as DCC-ready, or at least with decoders that are attatched to a standard 8-pin plug for easy replacement, may help increase your orders.

  Update:

  The models that I would like to do will be in HO scale with decoders.  The Atlas RS3 is an extremely poor model as the cab is too small and in the wrong place with several other problems. My goal is to finially have a correct RS3 first, then the N&W Phase III with the four hatches on the short hood correct for N&W.  The same  goes for the ALCO T6 which is a poor model with the vents and other details in the wrong places.  As for the GP9's, well I believe that will be a no brainer.  The models will be done in a brass medium and sold exclusive through Track 2 Hobbies which I've  had for 28years.  These models  will be sold built to order.  No orders are being taken for now as we're in the planning and research stage.

  Hope this helps,

    Fellow modelers:
    I am working with a manufacture who is interested in doing the correct Phase III RS3 with the hood doors on the short hood per N&W #'s 300, 301, and 303 in the "as delivered" and Script herald.  I am also working on a production of GP9 "Red Birds" and the Alco N&W  and Chesapeake and Western T6's. 
    I am curious if there is interest in these products or shall I have them dropped.
    I do not subscribe to the other forum, so if someone wants to post there, feel free.
