Side frames. Ready to order. 90 bucks. Thank you, no. I've seen this movie, I know how it ends.
So so let me see if I have this correct, you have some boards that do some pwm lighting, require a battery that won't fit into an ho gp40 unless you go about removing most of the weight to install, and won't likely pull 20 cars with lights and sound for more than a few minutes, then requiring 30-45 minutes of charge, unless you run it below 3.7v per cell, at which time the battery becomes unrepairable junk, and there's no provision to accommodate that. You can't use the product with any of the existing fleet, the software after 2 years isn't even close to complete, hasn't been subjected to alpha, beta, or any degree of field testing, and the support model suggests that it won't be subjected to any generally accepted design process, but that will all be circumvented because purchasers will be required to pay for access to support. Oh, and the fact that your nas boxes, or any other wifi device on the network will not be accessible while this thing is running doesn't matter.
It it might be a good solution for g scale in the garden, but the effort put forth in an ho world is a little lacking in my opinion. Then again, maybe I'm biased. It's certainly been interesting watching the unending development process.
