Dave tried at York a couple of times to display all the LCS modules with a podium display but shortly after they started bringing a limited amount of people, stopped coming in April, and, well the pandemic hit.  I do agree the LCS system needs some love from Lionel for promoting and explaining.  We did our best in the Legacy meetings but again twice a year doesn't really help.

I always thought that Lionel could easily incorporate the various LCS modules into the existing layout.  Have a large screen mirroring an iPad that is using LCS.  Do nothing but let an engine run the layout that would trigger a couple of switches, fire a sensor track with info, etc.  People IMO would get interested when they see the display changes when a switch is thrown or when an engine goes over a sensor track and IDs itself and shows direction of travel.  Even maybe make a recording from a second sensor track for a few animated accessories.

The screen would show whats happening and I think folks would start asking questions.  This is a bit of what Dave had going but I don't recall there being a screen for people to see or any switches. Maybe an upgrade for the LCS podium.  The LCS app is pretty cool and makes firing switch, accessories, and toggling blocks much easier.
