I appreciate and fully understand what Dave Olson has said.
Not to beat a horse, that if not already dead, is in imminent danger of expiring, Lionel's notion that "everyone owns a Smartphone" is not accurate. I, and am sure many other O-gauge foamers have one. Some older people I know prefer flip phones, and they only use them when they leave home. So, for this % of the market who want to get the most features out of their Lionel Legacy trains, they'll need to buy a Base 3 + Smartphone. That's an expensive proposition.
