Did anybody catch that background piece where it sounded like somebody was asking where is Digitrax tech support?

Didn't sound like a happy customer to me.

AFFA?

I think he is referring to AFFA Tech, the chinese company that is probably making the locos for Matt.

Did anyone look at the mechanism close in the video, it sure looks like a Kato. The center pick up clip looks just like on all my Sd.s and -9's by kato. :)

All that means is that the mechanism is patterned after a proven design.  Kato did not manufacture the mechanism for the FVM model.

John Engstrom from Athearn came over to the Fox Vally Models booth

Wow, we could start a 20 page thread about what this could mean!


Probably wanted to see how well AFFA copied the T55 models  ;)

So, what exactly did Matt/FVM do to you that has you so worked up?

Is this the first N Scale model to use the "plug" in DCC chip?  I've never seen one before and these will make life so much easier.

...maybe the first US model, this sort of plug is common in European models from minitrix, Fleischmann, Roco and co

These plugs can be a b*tch as the decoders might sit loose in them ...

Should we assume they'll be at the FVM booth at the Hartford Show?
