N-Gauge Decoders from Kato

I was going to ask the nice girl at the Kato booth in Nurnburg about those decoders but or some reason I forgot to ask ...

I wonder why

Does she conform to NMRA standards I wonder

You know I was trying so hard not to say just that.

Good point, usually the Japs are pretty well into their technology. It seems odd that they have not waded into the DCC area. Or maybe they have and we just don't know about it?

If they had we would know about it. Maybe they couldn't find anybody to steal it from.

I guess they're waiting till an established quality system corners the market than they will copy it and sell for half the price.

The Japanese are probably working already on the next generation of wireless control with long life batteries that require no power OR control to come from the track, just a recharging section of track at the end of the siding where you park up your locos for the next operating session and which are compatible with existing DCC technology and a per loco price to install their system of around 8 quid a pop.

Just a thought....
