Thanks for the additional information, Tim. Too bad it is an just a
production prototype and not an indication of something new coming from
LEGO.
I took my daughter to a Greenberg model train show this past weekend. I'm
not and never have been into model railroading. But I was amazed at the
number of different products available.
I picked up a few Lionel, K-Line and MTW catalogs to use as inspiration for
building. Browsing through the catalogs stirred up the wish that LEGO would
produce automated switches, lights, crossings, etc again.
I will take an remote automated switch over a light-up Darth Vader saber...
