Francine posted:Thanks, if a Flyerchief goes bad, this looks like the way to go. I wonder if it works with a conventional DCC controler?

BlueRail is strictly BlueTooth, it has no DCC circuitry. It will operate on a DCC layout, but it only uses the always-on DCC track voltage, it is oblivious to DCC control signals.
If the FlyerChief goes out, it will either be the circuitry in the FC controller, or the circuitry in the loco. If the problem is in the the controller, replace it with another controller, or use the LionChief Universal Controller. If the problem is in the loco, either get new boards from Lionel, or start looking into DCC or BlueTooth.
