Thanks for the information fellas ![[Image: double-thumbs-up-thanks-smiley-emoticon.gif]](http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/thanks/double-thumbs-up-thanks-smiley-emoticon.gif)
Ah...so I did miss it or more probably just don't remember. Still, I would consider it a new generation since it was released only 2.5 years ago. I would assume that the electronics are much updated since the technology has had to improve. I know that the original iteration had a short operating distance and the signal would be interrupted if something was in the way which the IR (Infra Red) technology of the time wasn't that great. I wonder if they still use IR and didn't change to a signal based technology.
This Controller does look a bit thinner/less bulky than the originals in the pictures but I don't see a 'Light' button so I have to assume that the engine has no lights which would be a disappointment (the originals did). I also notice an 'A & B' Band switch so I am wondering if this one controller can operate 2 different trains at once?
