Actually Ron, I think Joe was taking it too personally. Truthfully, when the O-gauge size BT board is available, I'll probably get one and give it a go. I'll use track power to run it, but it'll be kinda' like a Lionel LC+ locomotive. However, I don't feel the burning desire to jump in with the pioneers at this point. I like to keep up with the technology, but I don't need to be ahead of it. Right now, the battery technology in particular, doesn't offer what I want. In the future it might.
Remember: You can pick out the pioneers, they're the folks with the burning wagons.
