Modeling the Reading Railroad in the 1950's

Has anyone used one of these systems yet? The videos look very interesting as well as their capabilities. If so I would be interested in how they worked with non dcc ready locos and how one could change the photos to represent a free lance railroad on the handheld. Also of interest would be how the system interacts with sound equipped locos on the layout not being operated such as in an engine terminal, or staging yard. Also does the voltage being constant in the track even though the motor is not picking up any signals have any effect on the locomotive, wheels arcing etc. ?
