I had a nice conversation with Dave Olson about the cab2. He informed me that it's currently not economically feasible to build a new remote with displays and touchscreens. He said the street price would be so high, no one would buy it. He said lionel would consider one in the future if they could build one affordably. Its the same reason they discontinued the sensor track sensors. Their cost went through the roof so they stopped making them. Lionel does not have the luxury of doing a large production run so their build costs are higher. I appreciated his honesty. The cab3 app was their next best option. Based on what he told me, I believe that lionel would build a new hardware remote if they could.
