I never thought about the fire hazard / liability of Lithium batteries in our trains - interesting point in regard to future widespread availability from a major manufacturer
...

My Tesla is powered by lithium batteries and charges in my closed garage when I am asleep. Most of my power tools are powered by lithium batteries as well as my lawn mower and my snow blower. My drone is lithium powered. And my laptop. And other things. I am simply not concerned about lithium batteries any longer. BUT, part of the issue with model trains is the availability of a complete system. For years I tried hobbling something together. Not a concern about the batteries but getting it to work and fit as expected at all.

For years I spent the most frustrating time during my career dealing with vendors pointing fingers at each other when things didn't work properly and was having the same issues with model trains. Ahhhhh... no more!
