<p>[quote user="Nick100"]</p> <p>I think Bluerail will be the system for the young people entering the hobby. They will identify with this system more than DCC. The Bluerail system will get even better in the future as the company continues to improve it to do updates.</p> <p>I will probably never go to it but I am not the young person that will continue hobby into the future.</p> <p>I use a NCE Power Pro that is intuitive and has a prompting display that leads you through programing. The first 4 pages of the manual will set you up to run trains.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> [/quote]</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">What makes you think so? Just because BlueRail employs a smartphone for a throttle and today´s kids can´t do anything without fiddling around with those dang things?</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">Well, if it is that, than BlueRail is already a little late, because Roco´s z21 DCC command station requires either a smartphone or even better, a tablet PC to operate your trains.</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">Piko´s SmartControl DCC systems combines the benefits of touchscreen selection of a smartphone with the ease of a big knob for speed control. The throttle looks like a smartphone with a big round knob attached to it.</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VFJDMdlRqoc" width="425" height="350"></iframe></div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">As I have said before, BlueRail won´t stand a chance unless it is widely accepted as industry standard and manufacturers offer it as a factory-equipped feature.</div>
