"Pure evangelism, wishful thinking and rationalization for the expense".... I seen the same thing written in a 60's magazine about 2 rail HO being the future. I seen the same in a 1940's book about diesels taking over for steam. I had an uncle who said that almost word for word about JFK's speach about going to the moon. I see a day when even department stores train sets will come with DCC and a new DCC system will be $25 and decoders will be standard on even toy locomotives. Kind of like how RC cars killed off slot cars and how RC cars are found in Dollar stores for under $10 now. How computers cost 4000 and now are 400. VCR were 1000, now 39. DVD were 1000 and never will be desired over VCRs... Now 50 dollars and everyone basically has one. Records vs CDs, pocket calculators vs fingers, cell phones v bell south, computers vs a whole list of office products, telephone vs telegraph, car vs horse, trains vs canals, the list is endless.
