I have mixed feelings about these new sets. This news gives the impression that
Lego will have to run two different systems if they are to continue to service
the rail-powered train fans....

It doesn't sound as complicated as back in the 12V/4.5V times.  At least both
the battery-powered and the rail-powered trains run on the same voltage.

Ps - I welcomed the horn feature until I re-read your post and realised it is
located in the controller handset - is this correct?

I would be cool with one or two extra outputs from the IR receiver for
controlling light and sound units.  Maybe we'll get that with next the version.

Play well,

(...) Thanks for the info Ben, This does not seem to fit with the train scene photo because that shows metal wheels and a 30 stud long baseplate. The Baseplate length has been counted by at least 3 AFOLs discussing on the Brickish Association (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains)
