I'll take this opportunity to encourage Lionel to adapt whatever the tech is in the command control Fastrack switches -- a major advance for Lionel track, in my opinion -- and put it in the uncoupling/activation track. This seems like very low-hanging fruit. I can't imagine it would require whole new tooling for the track (the switches are visually indistinguishable from their earlier, non-digital equivalents) and the tech to operate the track through the Legacy remote can't be more complicated than the solution Lionel already put in its switches. A real remote uncoupling track, like the switches, would reduce wiring and complexity for everybody, and would be particularly useful for everyone who sets up carpet layouts and who doesn't want to tackle wiring projects for a layout that might only be up for a few days or a week or a month. I'd definitely purchase some new uncoupling track if Lionel would add a command control function!
