My final verdict?
1.Continue current 9V line with optional DCC upgrade (decoders in the power
trucks).
2.Offer couplers similar to Aristo-Craft G-scale trains(spring-loaded
knuckle couplers)with option of continuing with current magnetic couplings.
3.6 wide trains (think of the average persons floor space with living
conditions getting increasingly crowded in our world).
4. And like I've stated before, upgrade the 12V line to 9V standards (sucks
the venom right out of this 'juniorization' maliase).-Harvey
