Thanks Lar. Interesting write up.
I would assume that for a "normal" metal clad 9v rail system, the new IR
baseplate can be designed into a rail car which has independent remote control
of a model feature. For example, assuming you can power a technic 9v gear motor
from the IR receiver, you could build a working crane. I think this is a nice
possible way to include this new functionality into the pro train line. Oops,
sorry, I mean hobby train line ;)
