Hi there, <br /> <br />Not trying to start any heated debate but I'm wondering why the idea for gas or glow powered trains hasn't been made to be from the manufacturers. As a newbie to g scale trains, I'm getting a little nervous about track power and all of the maintenance issues that I'm hearing from people. Battery power seems okay but seems to be a very immature technology(least from manufacturer perpective in actually making ready to go battery powered trains). Live steam is cool and in the right direction but very costly (least until aristocraft came out with the mike). <br /> <br />Anyway, I think a glow powered train or gas powered train would be cool. Yeah, the noise would be an issue but with the right muffler system, it could be suppressed somewhat. However, long run times and not having to worry about track would be super cool. Also, the train would have a real engine inside it to power it. Can't be that bad.
