Whoa. What YOU describe is even more radical.
My hypothetical is powered by the 9V supplied by the rails. It just uses
some other sort of 9V motor, transmitting motion to the rails some other way
than a train motor body/gearing.
YOUR hypothetical is independently (but still electrically, so not in
violation of the spirit of the "no flammables" rule) powered. The 9V rail
input is just a signal or trigger input to let the main power unit know when
it's time to fire.
Cool! Perhaps two different classes, though.
My hypothetical is ultimately limited by how much power the controller can
deliver (presumably if you sucked up enough juice to shut the controller
down, you'd lose). Yours is not.

| I can go either way I guess. My first idea was to do the same as James and modify the existing train motor with a new electric motor. I was also playing around with the ideas of which both of you described here...I would assume that powering the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

| Awwww, I got ya. When you were saying "power to the track" before I kept thinking electrical power, but now I understand what you are thinking. Very interesting concept and I agree with you that maybe there should be an unlimited division to include (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)
