Wow! Although that rear coupling looks massive.
I wonder how long it will be before someone designs a DCC chip, plus stay alive, plus lights, plus sound?
Impossible? I'll bet we all thought that of N Gauge not so many years ago.
Well, maybe not in this one, but as standard T gauge stock comes with factory directional lighting, and there are small enough DCC chips to fit inside most rolling stock too (6 x 5 x 1.8 mm)! On-board sound? Now there's a fun challenge
Stay-alive is the bigger issue right now - T is reliant on sparklingly clean track to function, and the points have socking great plastic frogs (longer than the 08, which can't go over them without a pusher wagon) which cause no end of problems. Improvements have been promised for a few years now, we'll see if anything comes of it!
