@necrails posted:It isn't an emotional preference for tmcc or legacy, it is the hard fact the on board electronics that plat nicely with tmcc and legacy dont play with dcc. Why would i want to gut all of my locomotives to switch? I see no value at all. Ill stick with the lionel platform, easy set up, easy to upgrade conventional locomotives and a wide selection of locomotives. Off topic but i wonder why atlas decided to shift to dcs, my existing atlas locos that are tmcc are among my favorites. Im sure im not alone in my resistance to buying multiple control systems.
Because whether all you that say Lionel is so easy and should be the only control system there are people who still love DCS and there is a market for it. I like Both control systems they both have their quirks. I usually buy Lionel Steam because of the sounds and features and I purchase diesels from MTH or 3rd rail because of the fixed pilots i can get for that scale look.
Plus Atlas gets the benefits of using the MTH factory which so far has proved they can get the products out quicker than with there old factory.
They have not completely gone PS3 I believe in the recent catalog release they have TMCC equipment in there.
