I keep getting faked-out by these showing up as part of the MT monthly releases each month at some stores as if they're out. Just happened again for April, but nooooooo! :| :D

It would appear the NS units are out. I thought I saw a couple sitting down by the bay this AM. ;)

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I played around with the NS unit at the local hobby shop yesterday.  Both units that the shop had didn't have headlights.  I thought these models would be equipped with at least a front headlight.

It has lights, during assembly the LED was not positioned properly in some of the engines, a general recall has been issued so we can fix them  I am doing a "how to" that we will post for those who want to adjust it themselves.  Simple, just remove the shell and bend the LED up a bit.  Sorry for the problem.

Any one have shots of what's under the hood?
Also, is this DCC ready? What I mean is, is there a drop in decoder or do you need to use a wire lead type decoder.

Digitrax is working on the Decoder, it has two sockets our wires plug into.  I don't have their working stock number here at home, and I don't know what their delivery schedule looks like at the moment.

I'll post a shot later tonight.

Wow.

I've been gone over a week on a business trip and just got home.

No one has one yet?
No photos?

These were appearing on ebay before I left.
