| (...) Ehmm to put things into perspective : LEGO track : 21 Euro/meter Peco code 75 h0 track : 6 Euro/meter (about as "finescale" as it gets in Europe in h0 wrt factory track) Roco Line track with bedding : 9 Euro/meter So even for model (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) 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. Remote control from one spot is more of an adult appeal thing and only becomes necessary when (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Not a big IR fan either but one thing to consider about controllability is that perhaps this system will be more like a walkaround throttle than a wired one, that is, in many IR systems, you press the go button and the vehicle goes. Take your (...) (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
