Great new animation for roadways

Oh my goodness!!  Tim, I love it!!  Thank you for posting!!!  I can see where more of my money is going to go!!  

Very cool.  The cars are a little bit pricey but you don't need a lot of them to create the effect.

Wow, finally in a larger scale than HO !   Just visited their site.  I see they advertise Faller wire.  I wonder if the cars are made by Faller ?

Nice, I first saw this in HO scale and am glad to see it's available for O Scale now.

Those look great.

That's really cool. I wonder if they will offer a crossing where the power to the car is interrupted while the train passes. 

I will be contacting them to see if they would like to promote/sponsor on the forum....

Yes, their logic controls have spare outputs that can control crossings via relays. 

BTW, this show is only getting better each time. I used to do this show when I had my train store. While there is a high percentage of HO and N, there is a lot of O of all periods and some Standard Gauge and G selling there. Even if you don't buy anything the sheer amount of operating layouts will take you all day to look at.

WOW!!!!!!!!  AWESOME!!!!!  Thanks for posting Tim!!

I was at the show and talked with one of the owners.  It was fantastic.  They are working on RR crossing but have to design to work with many types of track.  They hope to solve this soon.

And just when I thought  I didn't need anything else.  I absolutely love it.

This is pretty cool. I wonder what grade it can traverse. Also, how well it can work on a modular type layout 

Looking at the components and how it works it would not be difficult to make your own cars. Many models come with steerable wheels. The motor with rear axle is reasonably priced.

hello

I ordered this today but he was out of the roads when I get it running I will let you know what I think I spoke with jay and he was very nice and answered all my questions

I might look into getting this for my layout, because it looks really cool. I would think about getting and using it my own vehicles. 

This is indeed very cool. However, when I imagine owning this system, the fatal flaw appears to be charging the cars. After the novelty wore off, I can't imagine bothering except when a special guest was coming.

Maybe it will eventually be possible to use wireless cell-phone charging technology to allow the cars to charge automatically when parked.

Very neat system and a long-time coming. From the short video I can see that the vehicles are quiet and the road has no rails or grooves. I have SuperStreets now and will follow how this new system pans out.
