Toy Trains, YES, Look at Lionel's DieCast ES44AC's GE hybrids, BNSF, UP BOY SCOUT Locomotive, Etc, They are selling for a lot more than catalog list prices...

The proprietary lock down is hindering the progress in my eyes too. Sure there were reasons to stop. But if its lasts forever? Plain and simple, advancement suffers......

....... The popularity of those items listed are more based in the engines themselves than the tech involved. Ie they are not being bought just for any one technological advancement I'm aware of, but are being bought for collectability/nostalgia, looks, and relevance. (a chase light isn't a technical marvel, but they are very cool!)
