The problem with this is that it doesn't really work with a switching layout
where the locomotive often needs to move on its own. I agree that its a good
solution for a public display that runs in loops though.
On the positive side for me, my switching layout is already complete with 9v
track, so I can continue to use what I have. If I ever do decide to totally
convert, the all-plastic track will be nice, as I won't need to electrically
isolate my yard from my mainline.
I'm also nervous about the new couplers though. My woodshop skills aren't
great, so my train tables aren't anywhere close to level. Right now the
couplers compensate by rotating, but it looks like the new couplers may cause
problems. Like the PF stuff though, I'll wait till I get my hands on some
before completely judging them.
