kj356,
I do not think you understand, I wanted to be able to control this train with my Legacy & my DCS, like the rest of my trains. However I do not believe that will be possible with the stand alone remote control system that comes with this Santa Train. I will wait and see what happens with the DCS TR mode as time goes on. From what I am understanding about these particular trains, only the Lionel remote that comes with the Santa Train controls the engine.

PCRR/Dave,
You are correct. The engine can run on the same layout as a Legacy or DCS engine, but you must use the Santa Express remote to control it. This is currently true for all of the LionChief products.
