Fred, that is where toy trains should be over here and now! There is no reason that our trains should still have regular bulbs inside. Seems like state of the art doesn't apply anymore? It feels like, they put in just what is needed to, to get it sold. The bottom line price theory rules. Why in the world do our steam engines still have the speakers in the tender only?
I know there are different levels and different price groups for these toys. I just feel that the edge is gone over here to even try something new. At least there are US import companies trying to capture exact details, just not full effects. I did not wish to model European engines and equipment. They always seem to keep striving for more overall realism though.
I think O gauge needs another young Mike Wolf to enter into manufacturing and kick start innovation.
