I think, in balance, it will make our model trains far more realistic in the end.
Hmmm.....
You mean the idea of a train, its locomotive, having its own on-board power source to propel it? You mean the track rails not carrying electrical power from which the train/engine is able to move?
Radical.
P.S....One more time.... Going to York this month? Stop by the RCS America booth in Orange Hall.
P.P.S....I have no skin in their game....except that I bought one of their systems. It works. And as others on this forum have testified using other components/systems, it worked for them, also.
Oh yes, and BTW, if you have a GOOD full-line LHS nearby that has expertise in RC items...particularly drones and RTF/ARF airplanes using battery power...stop by for a chat/demo.
Oh, and consider this....as well as the hobby industry has exploited new battery technology commercially, there is yet a higher level of performance out there utilized in less commercial applications. Call it 'the next generation'.
Go ahead. Cling to your paradigms.
