I don't know about RC, but from my understanding, the PF system is sort of a set-it-and-forget-it system. You need line of sight to make changes, but once it's set it will go until changes are made. That make sense?

I like it. It was a nice easy build, a good intro to train building, and a good looking set. A good starting place to build a nice collection. I recently added the 7937 Train Station, although I don't really have a layout, or a place to start setting one up, I thought it would be a nice addition once I do. Looking to add a couple more cars and maybe another engine. What i really need is more space to display all this.

Interesting Of particular note is the last paragraph:

Sign up another n00b. I picked up my first Lego train set today, a 7939 cargo Train. Can't wait to build my collection and start on a layout.

Mmmmm, sorry 'bout that.

Greetings all. I'm a long time Lego enthusiast, although I gave it up for quite some time when I "grew up", not realizing that it was actually ok to "play" with toys as an "adult." ;) I would occasionally pick up a set and build it quietly at home when nobody was there. I guess you could say I was a closet afol, not knowing there was a whole community of us out there. Then a couple years ago my wife and I, along with some friends were visiting the train museum at Balboa Park in San Diego and when I saw the Lego train display I knew I was hooked again. So after drooling over pics on the interwebz I finally, today, picked up my first Lego train set, the 7939 Cargo Train. It was not easy to find, I think I visited about a dozen stores in the area looking for it, when I finally found one in stock at a toys r us, I knew I wasn't letting it go. I came directly home and started assembling the cars. I don't really have room to start any kind of set up but I had to lay out the track on the floor just to see it all run. I literally feel like a kid again. I'm sure you all know the feeling, I can't wait to build my collection and to start laying out a track and, oh my god, design my first MOC. Anyway, that's my story, or at least enough of it to bore you to tears for now.
