One further thought, the transponder unifies lap detection and car-to-lanechanger signals for SSD, SCX-A, O2 and Scorpius (and possibly D132 if the D132 decoder can be adapted as described above).

However, the throttle command side is another matter. Clearly SCX-A, O2 and Scorpius can run on an SSD powered track so long as all the decoders include a bridge rectifier circuit. Similarly SCX-A, O2 and Scorpius should all be able to run on a D132 powered track. So that combination should be fine too. That clearly leaves one issue… SSD track packet signals and D132 track packet signals are not compatible … so in that case it would be either or.

Still, SSD, SCX-A, O2 and Scorpius running side-by-side on a single race track could be a lot of fun. Or the same combination but with D132 substituted for SSD.
