We drove through a monsoon yesterday to Nicholas Smith Trains in Broomall. My son purchased the Nicholas Smith exclusive Lionel Reading FA's and a Legacy System. They gave him an outstanding deal of the Legacy System since he was purchasing both at the same time.
When I told my son, I was planning on buying the Legacy System, he politely said, "Dad, you have purchased almost everything for the layout. I'll buy this. Besides, I'm taking it with me when I move out".
He's a hard working young Man and wants to work for the Reading and Northern next year when he graduates HS.
When we got back to town (It didn't rain a drop here and we really need it), I had to go to work. My son hooked everything up and ran his new engines.
I got the preview today. All I can say is WOW. All the little extra details and the extra sounds are amazing. It's a beautiful smooth running train. I think he is absolutely in love with the quilling horn and likes the Legacy remote. I like all of the minor sounds like the creaking and squealing as is slowly negotiates a curve.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and information provided. I can't understand why we haven't purchased anything Legacy before this. We have been so infatuated with DCS that we really never gave Legacy a thought until now.
Having Fun!
Ron
