These things always crack me up.... is it for a train or a 747?

You know, I think that will really appeal more to the video game players than to the
model railroaders.
A person with a throttle like that could just watch a video screen showing a real or animated view of going down the track, and never have a small scale physical model. Instead of laying track and building rolling stock and trackside structures and scenery, a person could just make their own animations of scenes that interest them. There is a guy over on the B&O forum doing just that, animating the journey of the Capitol Limited behind a particular steam locomotive on the route between Brunswick and Harpers Ferry. That is a lot of work, now, but could become easier in the future as more infrastructure for such animation is made available to the hobbyists.
But, that would really be a different world than the folksy model building and operating session guys here. That type of "modeller" could just sit in a dark room and never seen anybody except for their images on their big screens when they put them there from Skype or video phone calls.
Not my style!
