As you can see this opens up a new world of possibilities...
Has anyone tried the rc train remote on a power function
reciver to see if it uses the single output pwm control
signals? If not, hopefully the new RC train system will be
compatible.

I'd be very interested in that experiment (using a Hobby train RC on the PW
Receiver)


I did this experiment a while ago, I just presumed everyone else has as
well.

The Short answer is NO.  I could not get the new IR train to control the
PF receivers either at full on, or with PWM.

My IR train, and PF gear are 100% incompatible.

I've posted a YouTube Video showing both at the same time, not being
affected by either remote, as well, I ran the 2 transmitters at the same
time, and the respective device worked flawlessly.

(...) It looks like the PF IR receiver will be very useful for train control and other continuous duty applications. But the only remote available is for intermittent operation. So the only LEGO option to running in PWM/continuous duty is to use a (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

For instance, tunnels and large layout out of line-of-sight on the RC should now be possible. (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
