Could it be the next big thing as we endeavor to bring our model railroads to life? With Samsung now offering a foldable smart phone with an OLED screen and OLED being flexible I am wondering about the future of this material in model railroad, especially as window material in locomotive cabs, passenger cars, cabooses and structures. Think of miniature LED screens linked to processors in trains. The screens would be transparent for just displaying interiors but could be turned on to present interior displays occupied by camera footage of real people engaged in various activities. Think also of backdrops made of OLED where the trees would blow in the wind and animals and vehicles would move about. As the cost of OLED drops, when will begin to see its integration in model railroading as opening another dimension into electric trains?
