Please bear with me during the next paragraph.
I have read that, as the new century started in 1900, scientists thought they had discovered just about everything there was to discover. They thought that there would be some improvement in the accuracy of measurements and maybe a little tweaking to the theories of the day, but that there would be no new major discoveries. This complacency was shattered within a few years by the dicovery of X-rays and radioactivity to mention just two things.
Turning to model railways, I find myself in the same position as those scientists. In 00 gauge at least, now that we have sound in engines, wireless DCC and even live steam, is there any major advance that is possible? Do you agree? If not, what do you see only a few years down the line?
