now I intentionally left out the current aftermarket folks making a version of electronics as they are not the original items used on current items being manufactured with todays latest greatest engines of anyone manufacturer.
so what do you all think possibly down the road the younger generation will see this come to fruition??
This is a point that nobody's addressed...
Personally, I wonder how likely it is our successors will actually care if the electronic boards in secondhand locomotives are original, assuming they do all (or most of) the stuff the original boards did. The market already is heavily slanted toward operators moreso than collectors, otherwise we'd be having heated discussions over say, the ethics of putting TMCC boards in Protosound-1 locomotives.
