I am afraid that, unless Bachmann is able to convince the big names in the game to adopt this system, it will stay a small, rather proprietary niche product - like many other attempts before. The big names are not Athearn and Atlas, but Marklin with its brands Trix and LGB, Roco with Fleischmann, Hornby with Rivarossi, Jouef, Arnold and Elletren (Spain). Add to that the number of slightly smaller operations like Brawa, ESU (also marketing HO scale locos), Lenz, NMJ, Heljan,Jeco and a whole bundle of others, you can evaluate the scope Bachmann is facing to have it accepted as a replacement for DCC. Marklin sales alone exceed those of the entire Kader Group, so chances are pretty slim, I´d say.
