I'm going to go to the "sparkin" side of the hobby when the manufacturers start building "mag lev" kits and of course the "track" kits to run them on. <br /> <br />I tend to be less fussy about modeling the layout than I am about being more of a "purist" (whatever THAT means) when it comes to locomotion itself. <br /> <br />I.e. - So far I'm a Live Steamer. But there is also a REAL deisel electric now out for "G" scale. A REAL one with an internal combustion engine that runs a Generator, that drives motors that power the wheels! <br /> <br />I may get one of these soon and a proper consist to go with it. Still no powered track required and I could concievably have a layout that "morphs" from a turn of the century Narrow Gauge Steamer to a '50's style area where the true Diesel electric would be righ at home. Each would look weird out of it's respective modeled area, but it coud still run on the same layout of track. THIS makes me smile. <br /> <br />When we can do a Mag Lev, THEN I'll go to a seperate layout for that. Perhaps a Japanese theme with a Godzilla in the layout somewhere. (heh heh).
