There are a couple of new command accessories, but I believe the OP is discussing the new plug and play meant easy connection and setup.

Why not take the command signal from the track ? If that is the way it works

not a bad idea. It would be nice to know what is going on inside the

accessory track.

 

Guess we will find out from Lionel at York....

 

There really isn't anything Tesla like about plug and plug and plug and plug. But, I assume

that the terminal track with multiple connectors can have the power supply isolated from the track power As a option? I actually thought that the plug and play was going to ease

installation of accessories for the around the tree crowd in relation to a low technical skill

level. I don't understand the marketing decision to segregate product functionality. A decision to run everything across the board motive wise and accessory wise is ideal.
