@RickO posted:When the rumors of the cab 2 discontinuation began, prior to the Base 3. I grabbed a 993 for $289 on Amazon. I alerted fellow forum members. They were sold out in a few days.
Best "train decision"I ever made.
Me too, Rick , for a little more than what you paid, at a midwest train shop. It was on this forum where I read the scuttlebutt about Lionel no longer making the controllers. And, I did the same thing with the DCS controller when MTH said "no more remotes will be made after such and such a date,", from also reading this forum. Both the DCS and Cab II controllers are fun, pure and simple, in their own respects.
I doubt other scales are faced with this conundrum...especially HO'ers.
