3225 should not be too hard, perhaps you could make a quick trip to Germany?? It's still being sold. 4558 will be a challenge unless you're willing to pay around 300-350 USD. It's the most coveted 9V and been out of production for several years. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Put me down as a 3. I assume that DCC decoders are cheap enough that I could equip ~15 motors and not choke at the expense. (Forgive my naivete about model railroading - I haven't bought a non-Lego train since the mid '70s.) (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
