OK, well one really simple, almost trivial thing: you can run the IR train on
the same track as the 9V, allowing you to have two trains going around a track
in different directions, with just a quick timed siding excursion to let them
pass and not collide. I had two 9V trains running in one loop in the same
direction, with one stepping out into a siding to let the other pass every lap.
With the IR train, I can have a set-up like that running in two directions on
the same piece of track. OK, that actually takes no modification at all, but
it’s an example of where I’m thinking of heading with these things.
