I have everything from prewar to Legacy except Lion chief/Lionchief+ just could not get over ( in my thinking anyway ) that you take a great control system ( TMCC/Legacy ) and go backwards with the technology. Originally I have a system that I can run 98 engines on without having to change controllers, to I need a different controller to operate each engine. To where now I think you can program it up to 5 or 6. It's still backwards in technology to me. I do thou see the goodness in them, for someone that wants a small layout around the Christmas tree or limited to space or for a child just learning about control for a train. And for those who like them, great for you, I hope you get all the use out of them you hoped for. I do not knock them or think of them as entry level trains. I do not see any conventional train as entry level either. I can set up my conventional trains to automatically throw the next switch in correct order from across the train table. I do not need all the electronics of today's systems to do so.
