Hi Guys, this is awesome to see so much interest and discussion about using battery wireless controls in O scale. The lengthy discussion also provides some good marketing insight on who would use a battery wireless system. As a newcomer to O scale with 20 years of supporting the G scale market I believe there will be room for a few US company's that are introducing solutions. One of our goals is to attract the younger modeler , 14+ into our hobby. Most of my O scale customers invested into 2R Brass. Now I am seeing the 3R and plastic 2R locos. Same complaint, do not want to clean track anymore or run a lot of wires.
We are taking what we have learned in the G scale market and applying that to the smaller scales. I have been testing our Bluetooth version on a Android Motorola e-Moto phone I bought for $50 at Radio Shack. I like using the phone rather than the larger tablet. The phone was easier to hold and operate. More info in future posting.
