Hate to disagree, but if it went there we would lose the S scale content. I don't think Scale Trains does 3 rail.
@AmFlyer posted:Any S gauge engines from ST are still a ways off. From what I understand Scale Trains S gauge engines will be DC with the option to add a factory installed ESU decoder for DCC operation.
Since we are discussing S gauge engines this is the correct forum.
Tom, I hope you are right, all I know is the H0 people don't get a choice and they are not all in on the Locosounds or whatever it is that ESU does. The thread on MRH forum makes me wonder about the future of Scale Trains and S scale. I'm sure they will assess the market and go from there. Still MTH and Circle L did not and went their own way which did not do S scale and favors by dividing us with different control systems that are not all that compatible. Yes, I know some people like this while others like that but a standardized system compatible off the shelf would really be good for our scale.
BTW, I don't get notification of new post to this thread since Rays from 12 hours ago. Any guesses?
