Thanks to all for their wonderful suggestions.
Should I be concerned about which level of LCx I use? I'd be looking to buy one system to use with all(?) levels of LCx.

Yes, very much so. Not that one is right or wrong, but there are distinct differences. Lionchief is pretty basic. Lionchief Plus (1.0 and now 2.0) is more advanced and more expensive. Neither requires a computer or signaling device to connect to the track like Legacy, Lionel's older TMCC, or MTH's DCS.

Lionchief and Lionchief Plus 1.0 engines are pretty much standalone. Run them with a dedicated remote or a LC universal remote or, if equipped, with an app via Bluetooth.

Lionchief Plus 2.0 brings added features and the benefit of backward compatibility with TMCC. Meaning, someone like me with an old TMCC Command Base (computer that connects to the track) and remote can control an LC+ 2.0 engine, but not LC or LC+ 1.0, with my TMCC remote.

Hope that helps.
