Well, if you can figure out how to drive DCC chips embedded in trains, a lot of
folks would be happy. Controlling crossing gates, detecting trains and moving
cow heads, automated switching, decouplers, dumpers, etc... & a lot of that can
be done with things like servos. The potential is out there. But I suspect what
you need to do is develop the applications, float them around to see what
interests folks. A lot of train folks have looked at the GBC trains with
confusion and a little surprise, which isn't what we expected. It that
cross-fertilization that takes some work.

Well... I've no idea. I was a little surprised by the $90 figure, as the only
material thing you mentioned was an unspecified manual, and as far as timed
sessions we give them away free at events like Brickfair & Brickworld (well,
"free" with full admission), so it's a bit hard to estimate.
