Hey Harvey,
I think you missed the point in the original post by Steve. The next "Train"
will have motors as well. What we do not know is if the motors will fit in
existing locomotive designs allowing the trains to look realistic.
If the new motors are based upon the new Power Functions sets, like Monster
Dino, Ferris Wheel, or the Bulldozer, then perhaps this will work. I do not
know. There are many questions left unanswered that hopefully LEGO will reveal
soon.
