I had forgotten about the old forward/neutral/reverse thing from the ‘70s (to me) and was shocked the train still ran that way when the MTH one was so much more sophisticated.
Well it’s a good thing Lionel that Lionel has stepped up! I think even their most basic starter sets come with a Lion Chief remote. I also think Lionel has come along ways even with he past five years.
