I disagree with your thought as the most technically sensible way to control a train. To me the most technically way to control a train was either TMCC or Legacy. But they had to take that out of the equation ( for reasonable priced trains) ( my point of view they make more profit by doing so, from Lionchief and lionchief+ ) Ever notice, to have a engine you can run in conventional, you have to go out and buy a Lionchief +. That they do not come in sets. ( or didn't, I haven't kept up with it as feel technically they took us backwards, As before I could run up to 98 different engines off of one remote. Now I think it's 5 before you have to reprogram/buy another controller to run that 6th engine you have. But for some strange reason ( or because it was forced on us ) Most jumped for joy with it. And gee all I had to do was connect one wire from the base to the U/outside rail and the two wires from the power source to the track.
But for you and the rest who enjoy reverse technology ( and that is actually it is ) more power to you, and enjoy. I'm glad your happy with it.
