"N" MP-15 and DCC The new "N" MP-15 is not set up for DCC. This was a tough decision we had to make, but the short narrow engine shell did not allow us to leave enough space inside without removing at least one of the flywheels and some of the weight. This would have resulted in an engine that would not have pulled many cars. (This was the same problem Atlas faced with their recently introduced Shay model.) The state of the art for DCC is rapidly advancing, and we know some of the DCC manufacturers are pretty cleaver at Electronics and it will not be too long before they make a decoder system that will be small enough to fit into such small bodies such as the Shay and our new MP-15. So we chose to make a model that will pull and operate very well in the analog mode, and will also pull very well once the DCC manufacturers come up with a small enough unit. We also have followed with interest the recent articles in the model press about details now being "too scale" and too delicate and breaking off the models easily. Thus we beefed up the handrails a bit as this model is so small there is no practical way to pick up the model without handling the handrails. Up close under a magnifying glass the handrails will look a bit large, but at a normal viewing distance of about 36 inches or more as on the average layout or module we think they look just fine. Again a case of "heads you lose, tails you lose". If we make them too delicate a lot of people break them and complain and want us to replace expensive body shells, if we make them easier to handle, the super scale fellows "fame" us".. go figure. One of the etched brass people will undoubtably make some scale etched brass handrails as a replacement item, so go that route if you are so inclined. We know this will not make everyone "happy", but this is a case of "heads you lose, tails you lose" no matter which route we took. © 2006 Con-Cor International Ltd.
