I am looking at buying some of the new Intelli-trains for my nephe. To what extent are the new Intelli-trains compatible with the older Duplo trains? Can they use the same track? Can the new "smart elements" be placed on old track? Obviously I assume the old trains won't understand the "smart" elements, but apart from that is there any other incompatibilities? Also, I read that there are "smart elements" but what functions exactly do they control and which sets control which smart elements? Kerry
