If that is the case, then you have wide choice of RF modules to choose
from.  If you were looking at something like HO (where the receiver has
to be about 0.65x1.00in.) then it would be a different story.

In any event, if size is not an issue, then one of the XBee modules from
Maxstream is a good choice. They are relatively inexpensive ($19-32 in
singles), widely available from several distributors and quite few people
have used them in radio control applications.  They use a simple serial
interface.  Size is about 0.96x1.1 or 0.96x1.3in. depending on the model.

  The gauge is often referred to as L gauge, but essentially Lego trains.

  The conductive tracks were available, but there is a push for the
  plastic ones, which more or less moots any DCC via the track.
