Dear TOM, et al ,

I also would follow the new Forum. Great Thread started by a Great Modeler.

The other night heading to the Cherry Valley 2 Rail Club , one of our younger members- age 24- driving up with me asked what I thought the future of scale model railroading would be and my reply was very simple-

BATTERY POWER. !!

I should mention I was driving my 2020 Tesla Model X while stating that and my cell phone was in my shirt pocket and I am replying to this thread on my battery powered lap top computer !!!

I wish the NMRA would take a look at creating standards for Battery Powered R/C as they did years ago that made DCC interchangeable and choice of manufacturers to choose from for scale model railroaders.

It is a shame that the 3 railer O Gaugers have to either choose DCS or TMCC or invest in both systems.

Who said you can't teach a old dog new tricks !!!

See you at Strasburg on 04/17/21.

Regards, John
