Thanks to everyone who responded!
I especially appreciate the discussion of
the differences between makers, and the
differences between generations of
productions as well.
The videos are very helpful - short of
finding someone with an engine and a layout
to run it on, that's as good a
demonstration as I could ask for. And by
the way, you guys have some nice looking
layouts!
The command systems mentioned seem limited
to Legacy and Proto 2 & 3. Should I
interpret that to mean TMCC and Proto 1
won't "cut the mustard"? Or are the
engines using those systems themselves
not as good of models?
Mike CT and prrhorseshoecurve: I hadn't
considered the Weaver due to conventional
control.
Was your upgrade to TMCC? Legacy? Or..?
GG1 4877: I feel your pain! Trains
were just a passing phase...
Again, thank you all,
Perry
