I saw this at the NTS in Sacramento. Dave at NWSL said it can be charged on a layout that has 12 Volts DC or 13 Volts AC while operating or on a dedicated track sitting. It is a compact system that fit inside an HO car the size of a passenger car with plenty of room to add details if one wished. The battery looked like one out of my cell phone. With DCC interface between the R/C and motor meant the control they sell with their system could control up to 15 units.
