About a year or two ago, the talk on the forum was how a new O-scale vehicle "street" system was the future and that it would make "SuperStreets" and "Streets" obsolete. I couldn't find the topic in the search feature. The system used battery operated cars and the vehicles had a stem with an electro-magnet attached to the chassis and the car followed a wire embedded in the streets. It looked awesome except for the visible stem. What ever became of this system?
I am still using my SuperStreets and buy a new car or truck every now and again. They're made by Bachmann, now. I've added figures to the chassis, just have to cut seated figures in half and glue them in.
As an aside, the USPS is running a holiday commercial whereby a model USPS truck runs around a nicely done model city - unknown scale - the truck has a visible stem out the side and the stem connects in a slot in the road. I love actual models of things as opposed to computer generated cinema.
Here's a quick video of my Streets in action. I control them using the VAR channels on a dedicated DCS Remote Control - this gives the best variable voltage and the slowest speed possible without messing around with gearing or electronic do-dads. It boggles my mind why Bachmann didn't include operating headlights, a no-brainer. If anyone has added operating head and tail lights, kindly message me on the method or share here. I don't think I have the dexterity to drill and add them, plus it'd take some body work.
