Expected that Lionel would lead with it's own track system, and perhaps something to follow for other big-name track companies.  I just don't know enough about LCS yet to see if it's a "good match" for exotic layouts that are typically built with the likes of Gargraves, MTH ScaleTrax, Ross, and Atlas-O track systems.  LCS may be more appropriate for modest layouts built with FasTrack.  Worth watching this space closely... that's for sure.
