(...) That might be a little expensive to put in a system that's supposed to reduce the entry price! Still, an auxiliary output on the remote control train motor (for lights, horn or extra motor-driven uncoupler) would be a great gift to train (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

Hi, all, I know this might just be a shot in the blue sky, but anyway: Lego is most propably working on a new RCX system.
