The bigger question is, what can the hobbyist (that wishes to keep it simple) buy that is devoid of the complex motion controls from the 2018 catalog. It seems that Lionel has defined its market in a very narrow high end niche. There is nothing wrong with this but I just wonder what percentage of the market this represents, and will future growth result?

LionChief Plus will run in conventional mode with the flip of a switch. Grzyboski Trains has LC+ Hudsons in two road names for $299, which is a heck of a deal these days.

I have to admit I like the LC remote a lot more than I thought I would. The best aspect is that I can walk around the layout and control one engine, while another person can operate the traditional transformer bank. Works like a charm with my ZW, too.
