Michiana-LTC will likely not widely adopt the new trains other than giving them
a small loop of their own. As an individual, I'm hoping to use the IR trains as
a primitive DCC system, burying the module inside a engine or two. The bulk of
the system as it currently stands is the greatest obstacle, the system's
potential could increase greatly if just seperated from the train base.

Extremely, the layout size will be fixed and gradually reduce as track wears out
and motors die. There will be no expansion.
