EDIT: the model's  description is a bit confusing, The prototype (not the model) is a battery powered vehicle

A DCC-like system from Trix. Maerklin had something similar and a trimmed down version controlling only 4-5 locomotives at a time...

So there's not much for the sound decoder to do?  :trollface:

I saw this email from DM Toys, and I’m still trying to decide if I want to order a DCC version.
Pricey though - I think it comes out at almost $300 Cdn, and then there would be shipping on top of that.

Where are photos of the chassis and video of it running?

Yes, description was confusing. The prototype (not model) is battery powered, Model is standard 2-rail DC (or DCC) powered.

Selectrix is TRIX's format of digital train control, not compatible with DCC.
Many European made decoders will automatically recognize and respond to those multiple digital control packet formats.

Nice to see the drive doesn't fill up the cab obscuring the see-through ability . That said those windows aren't the clearest to show that off . We , N scalers could use an infestation of critters IMO .
