PJB posted:If my situation had occurred after the handheld becomes no longer available, my options would be: (a) download the app and risk getting fired and then use my phone to have each child have a consecutive turn playing with the trains - but only at night once I got home from work and on weekends if not traveling; (b) buy 2 smart phones purely for 5 year olds to run trains; (c) run MTH trains conventionally on a layout that has Legacy and command control Lionel engines, which are obviously preferable to conventional, or (d) not buy MTH trains.
Not sure that adding difficulty will increase MTH's customer base for the future...
If you can afford the trains you can afford tablets that will support the MTH app. Your arguments have no merit it today's reality.
