All of my trains are Lionel. They are LionChiefs that come in the new Lionel start sets. I have 4 sets I bought over the months. I'm not a guy who worries about the details, I know most look at my trains as toys, but its what I like, and they do all that I'm interested in. Its just a 4x8 layout that is powered by whatever came in the box. They're not much, but I like them and enjoy watching them.
My new Lionel is a CSX is a SD60M. It doesn't have Bluetooth. I just assumed all Legacy stuff had their own remote and Bluetooth, for the money they cost. Learned a hard lesson. It will power up if I put it on the track, but I have no way to talk to it, it just sits there with the lights on
I'm not sure what to do now. Content with my toy locomotives, I didn't plan on any Legacy equipment. But I wanted a CSX, and the lionchief unit in the 2020 catalog, on a hunch, is not going to be delivered to well after Jan 2021. I mean it takes a year when everything is normal, with this covid thing who knows. So when I saw this CSX at a good price, I pulled the trigger.
I'm not even sure if I do get it powered up, it will run on my 4x8 layout, this locomotive looks a lot longer then my others.
If I do get the fancy controller will the power unit that came with my train set work it?
Thanks for any advice.
