First, let me apologize for mistyping NQC as NCQ.
Hey Ben!
Hope those rumors are true. So if they are going to do something with remote
switches and such, will it be similar to DCC or radio/infrared control? I'm
guessing some form of remote control. Perhaps supplying 9v current over the
rails (or battery) and remotely control throttle with radio/infrared. My guess
is based on the LEGO desire to make things compatible between systems. DCC
would have limited application beyond trains. LEGO already has Radio and
Infrared systems out there that may be compatible with what the trains will be.
Perhaps my work is needless, but with all my LEGO projects, I had fun with it
and ultimately, that's what I'm after.
In other news. My new turntable module is 95% done. It Measures 96 studs
square, with a 80 stud diameter turntable. The turntable is supported by
inside gray curved train track around the perimeter. I'm now moving on to the
Roundhouse module that is 96 studs square as well. There will be four bays,
each about 75 studs deep. My new design is much cleaner and nicer then what
I've done in the past. It's also very modular so I can transport it easily.
