Found this link on the TYCO forums. This technology is young, but one day, maybe.

Be sure and watch the video about half way down the page!

What is going on with Athearn?

Mon, 2014-05-05 07:42 — JodyG

I read at the end of this months MRH that four folks have departed or are about to depart from Athearn. After talking with Shane at a WGH show in January, I learned that Athearn has something like 12-16 employees total if I recall correctly. This means 25%-35% of their team is departing. That is not good in my eyes.

Model Power calls it quits

From their website

Dear Model Power Customers,

After nearly 50 years serving the hobby industry, our 3rd generation family business will closing effective immediately.

In 2007, our banks began an aggressive deleveraging process. They no longer approved of a profitable and paying client such as ours, which had been reliant on inventory. This is why one of the industry's most extensive lines, had begun to see much of its products unavailable on the market. Now it will no longer be seen at all.
