The connectors and ratings were one aspect. But to me, the most significant
stumbling block was the desire to preserve existing S-mod wiring. Most
S-modules were double track, and each track had it's own bus. That is not the
Free-mo way, nor the DCC way of doing things. (Now battery power may come into
voque, so it may not matter ;-)
To me, the S-mod single track module standards complementary to Free-mo, but
I've seen very few of these modules (most groups are double or tripple track
loops). The height and thickness of the modules would be different, but they
could be compatible.
