(...) I'd like to add a few of my own detail questions. A) How many channels will there be? There obviously needs to be at least as many as there are simultaneous running loco's on tracks else locos on sidings will keep waking up (since the switches (...)

(...) I have some questions, too. I'm not a huge train person -- I own only two train sets -- but I'm aware of the 9V system's limitations. Would a 9V train have enough momentum to pass over a single section of plastic track? I'm thinking that the (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) For the public exhibitions with model railway clubs that I've done over the last four years I haven't referred to "L-gauge" because no-one outside the Lego community has heard of it! Instead I have used "8mm:1ft scale" because that is the (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I think Larry summed it up nicely. Little kids want to follow the train where ever it goes, so line-of-sight and very short range would be just fine.
