"Maybe I missed something."  I don't think so. If conventional remote control of PS2 and PS3 locos from MTH is an acceptable option, that's another alternative. That said, if he buys a Legacy Powermaster, he'll need the Legacy system too, as it won't work with his older TMCC system,  if I'm not mistaken.  The TPCs will work with TMCC, but are also out of production and out of warranty, only available on the secondary market I believe.  Correct me if I'm wrong please .

The Legacy Powermaster uses the TMCC track signal for commands and works with both the original Cab1 base, Base1L, and Legacy base.  The Legacy Powermaster can be addressed as ENG 1-98 or TR  1-99 so it recognizes Legacy commands (TMCC2) in addition to the original TMCC commands.  The TPC recognizes only the original TMCC commands which limits the TR addresses to 1-9.
