I have just been introduced to the Faller Car System. WOW!! Recently I surfed the internet and have viewed videos & pictures of the Faller Car System. Some of the sites included the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. Wow. Wish I could take a vacation to the spot. Reading from different web sites I have found there are Car System options including lights, DCC (I think wireless operations of some sort) allowing each vehicle to use infer-red so they do not rear-end each other, etc. Even logic in the chip to run freely around the road system taking different routes each time around. Larger vehicles knowing they can only run on certain "tracks". No semi tractor trailers in residential neighborhoods because the streets are too narrow, etc. I am wondering where I can find inventory of the Car System setup with lights, turn signals, break lights etc like I have seen in video's? I am the type person who needs to use out of the box items. I am unable to customize or add parts. The trains I have are out of the box. I want to buy car system vehicles with additional features and add to my train layout. DCC etc. Have manufactures come up with a standard of features including DCC to operate the layout? Since I do not speak German, I can only guess what is available out of the box. Any information would be helpful. I would like to build a new layout incorporating both my train and the Car System. Thanks. David Werner
