Hi All,
A friend has a question about these locos could anyone give us information about them ?
I have been checking brands on the web and found out Blueline series of Broadway ltd and if I am not mistaken these are the guys who produced the highly acclaimed Big Boy which is now unfortunately sold out and in a way discontinued.
However, I am a bit confused. They have two brands; one is the Blueline series and the other called Paragon.
The Mikados come ,as they say, with DC sound and DCC ready. Now, how can one play the sound on DC?? that I could not understand.Here is the link:

Does anybody have had any experience with these Blueline loco's? They say the loco's come with factory installed sound system for DC operation ( which I still do not understand) and DCC ready. So lets say if I tuck in a Esu Lokpilot decoder in I will have it run on DCC, then what about the sounds? How do I control them?! ....and how can one control the sounds on DC?
