Uhm... MTH and Lionel have not cornered the market on accessory and track activation. There are other control systems out there that offer these too. The RailPro system I use has a track and accessories module. I'm sure there are dozen of choices if you look.
But I certainly understand the point of view that converting an entire fleet or collection may not be desired or possible.

Ron,

Thanks for your comments.

It wasn't my point however that Lionel or MTH had cornered the market. My point was that I still need to run wiring for switch machine activation, for accessories, for signals, etc., no matter which company manufactures them. None of these are wireless at the present time.

If I have to run wires for these then running power feeds at the same time is actually, at most, a small problem.
