And that seems a foregone conclusion in this discussion
less fidelity in external details?<
Decoder. The earlier BLI engines had a QSI decoder and the Blueline have a sound only decoder, making it a DC engine. Adding your own motor decoder will make it a DCC engine.
. . . and these must both have the sound only decoder, since the price is the same.
I don't think so. QSI doesn't make a sound only decoder. If you can get one of the early imports (with QSI, not Stealth) for the same price as a Blueline I would suggest buying it!
I replied to fast. The Blueline engines are not available yet but are list $230 (around $184 street) , plus you need to add a motor decoder. Ebay has an early one (290180331635) for $270.
