Or just the latest updates required for user interface. Dealerships are plagued with software updates that are required at the time of sale. If I buy another set of PA'S at York. I'm just going to hand them over to Dave or Ryan.
Since these new Alco's have Bluetooth you would think I could just do the firmware myself from my phone or PC. (HINT LIONEL).
Was about to say this. I am pretty confident Lionel is working on this already. Imagine all the possibilities, changing up sounds, new lighting control, new smoke control, better motor control. Lots of possibilities. I believe MTH is going to jump on that train first though, they do have a history of integrating modern tech into trains first.
Problem is the tool, software, and files to do this is probably all proprietary
