Battery power? Been there and done that in 1/2" scale.
Works very well if you just intend to power the locomotives. You want sound
and lights, you will need to "carry" lots of batteries to supply the necessary
amperage to run everything for a reasonable amount of time in one charging
session. Battery technology has a long way to go before we will see batteries
small enough that are reasonably affordable for this to work in S scale.
For the folks that want all the bells and whistles (and lights), this one of
the two main advantages of DCC - you have a consistant source of power through
the tracks to run everything.
For the string guys who want the fixins, I guess you could run an extension
cord along the string. :-) Not sure what the key wind up guys have to do . .
