And as feet stated, it’s too bad the O community didn’t take a page out of the HO community’s book. If it had, this O gauge mess wouldn’t be happening.

What mess?

This is simply a speed bump on the road to the future. Someone WILL pick up the dropped ball with any luck. It's happened many times before over the years with mechanical parts. It will happen with electronics too.

We're not out of options (yet). The nuclear one, DCC, is not all that's left (yet). Thank goodness.

However this situation better be worked out soon. The longer it takes, the quicker our beloved collections will turn into piles of expensive junk.

Let's hope that the old saying applies:

"In the end it will all work out. If it hasn't worked out then it's not yet the end".
