Two minor downsides I saw:

- while we got new wheels in both powered and unpowered, we still don't have a
good piston rod/valve gear solution

- Looks like old motors may be obsolete. The DCC unit comes with a motor as
well

But I can get over these flaws... What is cooler is that if I am reading this
right, in addition to controllers you can buy, you also can get an interface to
your PC and PROGRAM your controls (signals, accessories, etc) I'm worried about
8 trains and 16 accessories. 16 is very very low for a large layout, you'd have
more than that just in switches.

Where did these pics come from, are they public knowledge (hope hope hope)

Wow is this exciting. Can someone with better german than me post a full
translation? Wonder whether they are using Marklin technology? Anyone recognise
the shape of the power pack?
