It's a great feature. I am using that same method with my N Gauge trains that have DCC. I built a controller out of an inexpensive Arduino and Motor Shield and connected it to an inexpensive Raspberry Pi mini computer. Using free software the Raspberry Pi puts out a WiFi signal when it starts and I can connect to it with a phone or tablet free app (Engine Driver) and run the trains and sounds. The entire setup was around $70.
