I often hear or read that LionChief Plus is an entry level product. Sometimes it's referred to as mid-level. The connotation is that it's for those that aren't serious about the hobby or haven't grown up and gone to full scale size trains yet.
I run traditional/post war size trains because I love them. I can afford Legacy or Premier locomotives and could have designed my layout with O72 curves but chose O31 and O36 because I prefer it.
I prefer LC+ to Legacy or DCS. I love the simplicity. LC+ has the basic sounds that I really enjoy. Sure, Legacy has better sound but I would need a Legacy system. LC+ gives me wireless remote control, sound and a few features that are most important to me.
I'm not dissing scale locomotives and the guys that love them. I'm just getting tired of hearing that I'm entry level. I'm 68 years old and I've been in this hobby 68 years. There's nothing entry level about me. And I don't think I'm alone. I think there are a lot of other experienced model railroaders who prefer traditional size trains.
This is not meant to start an argument. I'm just tired of hearing and reading my choice of trains referred to as entry level.
What say you?
