Do you think these cars, or ones similar to them, are likely to be available in S scale anytime soon? I sure would like to have some. These moving cars could make layouts seem more real than anything else I can think of that we do not already have. Do you think there is anything we as S scalers can do to increase the chances that these vehicles would be produced for S ?

Folks, I don't normally follow posts that appear to be off topic, but this one has proven to be a worthwhile exception. Don't blow past this because it isn't S per se, because it may give you some valuable ideas for your own modeling. This is amazing video of HO scale radio- controlled vehicles with working throttles, steer axles, headlights, turn signals, emergency flashers, backup lights that automatically come on when the vehicle backs up, etc. We should be thinking of ways to incorporate some of these features into our modeling. If they can shoehorn all of that radio-controlled functionality into something no bigger than a Hot Wheels car, what could be done in the bigger space afforded by an S scale model? Food for thought. The video is in German, but please watch it all the way through anyway. The pictures are self-explanatory and I got a lot out of it. There are some shots of the hobbyists in their workshops, and their tools and methods should look very familiar to anyone who models in S. I am sitting here in stunned admiration. A tip of the hat to these folks. Thanks for sharing, Gale.
