You are correct. The statement with each new set is that you can obtain a
motor (and a light set) for your new engine, but does not come with one.
They are just shells, ready to fit a motor within it. Which, for me is ok,
since I have a few motors laying around my house unused in some of my other
MOC trains, yet. As for the price of the shells, I'm ok with it. I'm gonna
get at least one each of the 4 varieties.
I'd love to see a DCC add on pack, but I just know I'm gonna hate the price.
