it seems so they do seem to be over priceing the dcc& dcc sound locos most of the sound locos seem to be around £100 more then with out and for what you get for your money is it worth it. i do agree that they have to make a provet but come on hornby?bachmann be real. you could make the sound card from bits from maplin for maybe £15 plus a speker for the same if you want a good one. and i am sure that with builk baying they are not paying that much!! and they seem to also be putting up the price of the of none dcc locos i bought a class 20 4 years ago for £49.50 and now they seem to be £67 from the same shop thats more then 25% increse!!!. if they priced things cheeper they may make less provet but they would sell more and make more money in the long run. and we would be able to bay more. so yes i do agree with you, and i would not be surpess if hornby/bachmann have a part in this.
