Speaking of which, until we have modules, etc for a layout with hidden
controllers, does anyone have a spare 9V wire to sacrifice?  What I'm thinking is
that if you get a 9V wire, cut one plate off and put a plug on it, you can feed
the "main" controller with wall voltage, box it up in Lego bricks/plates
completely, and feed it into another controller.  That way the little kiddies
can't run the train fullspeed.

That's assuming the 2nd controller could handle the reduced voltage.
