Don't know if it's general knowledge, but Bowser is bringing out an Orange & White VO1000 available either DCC ready or DCC/Sound equipped. Here's a link to one of the dealers I use that illustrates it (scroll down once page loads): http://www.hogtrainz.com/BOWSERVO1000RESERVATIONS.htm
Re: Bowser VO1000 in Frisco O&W... Pretty nice looking, I see it has the Loksound decoder. I have one (Sperry Car) with Loksound, seems to run real nice at low speeds.
Re: Bowser VO1000 in Frisco O&W... I have the same loco without sound painted in B/Y scheme. It is a smooth runner, however it lacks weight. I only use it for yard service, and it struggles at times to pull or shove a string of cars through the yard. John
