Reply to "Controller units"

I am using TMCC and Legacy. I purchased the early on ASC 3000 and BPC 3000, one each to experiment with before beginning my layout.  By the time I got around to starting my layout Lionel had bought IC Controls and I purchased many more of Lionel version of the ASC's and BPC's. I then wanted to connect a laptop to the the layout and purchased SER2's and later retired one of the SER's by purchasing the Lionel WiFi box.  All these worked and continue to work very well together. I then installed a layout expansion and picked up some ASC2's and BPC2's.  The AS2C's worked very well.  I was extremely disappointed to find out the BPC2's were a new design that would not allow two separate transformer/TPC Platinum be switched to power the layout as did the BPC's.  The BPC2's are nothing more than on/off switches. I went to the secondary market to buy the older yet more functional BPC's.  That is the only disappointment I have had with these boxes for over twenty years.
