Works with other toys, too, like model railroad layouts.

That's stupid. You don't have to steer a model railroad.


You've heard of switches, right?

Switches move the train from one track to another.

The track itself "steers" the train.



True but pilots don't "steer" a plane either. They fly them.


I think the point is I can start the G gauge train that runs around
the house and go for a boat ride. It will still be going when I get
back.
You can't walk away from the controller of your RC plane and expect it
to still be flying safely even a minute later.


Your toys are better than Herring's toys?


Yes, if ability to run without steering is the criteria. But, now we're back where you started.
