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.

Marty I agree with this and you know @Dave Olson Does Demo's with Dave and I watch those and he gets pretty good turn out from what I have seen and could very easily covered this on his show. Like I said I had no real knowledge of the function or availability until this notice and maybe this is my fault for not being able to attend York. I had a glimpse of LCS but until @gunrunnerjohn mentioned the LSC and DZ2500 issues I had no real knowledge of it either. The most I knew was to get the LCS wifi module to run trains on an ipad which I was planning for just to cover all bases and realized I already had one my VL BB.
