So are you adding capability or just altering the technology used to give you the same capability?
A PW train was remote controlled. Via wires to a track carrying AC and DC voltages. That same PW train was than remotely operated by a CAB-1 and Power Master. Same train capability but what changed was a walk around remote control, plus some improved capability of the transformer with a boost and brake control.
Once TMCC and DCS added to the engine, the engine capability grew.
There is a lot of new tech in current trains, especially Lionel. MTH is using some of the latest micro miniature circuit components on boards, but what has this changed?
So I am not sure the premise is fact. Just because there is new tech, doesn't mean it provided new capability for the train or it's operating system. Stuff that does, is incorporated over time.
But this is small business, small market. Probably the largest group of this market, puts the trains away when the Christmas Tree comes down in Jan. The most vocal is the folks on this forum.
Tell me the capability improvement that your tech will give me. I don't care that your using 2.4ghz versus 900mhz if there is no difference in how my trains operate. I am not highballing a train down the street, it is going in circles in my spare bedroom. G
