So that's the big question of the day. How have them implement remote control?
-RF remote control, like the Playmobil train?
-Inband track remote control, like DCC?

RF is kind of cheating in my mind. It just doesn't feel right. But you can
also walk around your layout which is kind of neat.
Inband is the elegant way, and follows industry convention (eg DCC).
