Wasn't blue tooth mentioned as a connection medium with HO gauge polar express engine?    Is this related?

That is in another thread, it was stated:  "It will run on DC or DCC with a transformer, DCC controller, or the Lionel handheld remote. The remote apparently uses Bluetooth so that means that you can also use a smart device and an app to control it as well. The Lionel electronics plug into a standard 9 pin DCC plug which means you can put a standard DCC sound decoder in if you like. This is the perfect approach IMHO. Kudos to Lionel."

And then Lionel added:  "... I used the core operating DCC code from the Flyer line to port into this product - and thus saved a lot of development time. 

I also followed the 9pin DCC connector standard for folks who want their own DCC flavored decoder.  Easy to pop  out the Lionel DCC, and plug in the DCC decoder of choice.  You will lose the BLE radio though, and certainly the BLE radio makes room for a lot of future growth in the product lines - as folks noticed.  Exciting times ahead!"

And then I wondered if the remote thru blue tooth were sending DCC commands to the decoder directly, a kind of DCC blue tooth command "tunnelling"...
