Tommy, It isn't in the new catalog, but Lionel is definitely bringing out a "box" to interface between a conventional transformer and the track in order to access the TMCC/RS/Odyssey features in their new locos. It is already known informally as the "button box", even though it is not out yet. I am pretty sure that it will also control the new AF steam engine that is coming out later this year. I played with one at the Lionel display in White Hall during last York. Although similar in some ways in intent, the SHS LocoMatic (TM) box is not the same item and will not activate TMCC, etc. Hope this helps.
