Reply to "Did Lionel Ever Make a True "Remote" Control Uncoupling Track?"

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.

BC,

The problem comes down to the switching of power.  Modern Fastrack switches are lower current devices.  Uncoupling tracks, whether ancient or new, are higher current devices.  It's not a simple swap.

Remember this, which often applies, and I've borrowed from a wise and talented member of this community:

        Nothing is so easy as the job you imagine someone else doing!
