    Such a tease. I wanted to see the Kato 500eva.

    I wonder if this could be a replacement for the Ariso-craft Train Engineer throttles that our Club uses on out n-scale DC Modular layout

    That it works with the C11 makes me happy. I was concerned about it and the C57. I will probably convert to this once it releases.

    Rokuhan has not supplied us with a firm release date. I am anticipating sometime this year.

    So, to work wirelessly you need to add a usb bluetooth dongle. Rob, did it work with wi-fi, or is the current demonstration wired only?

    So a wireless throttle for DC for $200 + $35 bluetooth dongle + power supply? And apparently the plan was to output DCC too?

    So you could buy the Revolution Train Engineer HO system for $265 which comes with synchronized chuff and is already wireless, a little more but better sound.

    Or an NCE PowerCab for $150 plus a cheap laptop and $35 wireless router, now you can run a number of DCC locos wirelessly and the Android app is free

    Slightly different products, different prices, but all in the same ballpark.

    What I see is the Rokuhan could be used for a layout that runs both DC and DCC, that might be the niche.
