Reply to "Improving range of LionCheif with Bluetooth locomotives?"

There are Bluetooth signal repeaters / extenders on the market. I haven’t used one, and I certainly don’t know if it would be compatible with the Lionel Bluetooth. Just brainstorming with you...

Usually, with BT it seems that you need some sort of interface to select the BT device (ie phone to repeater) or pairing buttons to connect that way. With Lionel BT, it seems to be more of a direct/auto connection between the engine and the device/remote. I’m not sure if the BT repeater would be able to intercept and rebroadcast the signal???

@Dave Olson come to think of it, a Bluetooth signal repeater housed in a railroad building would be a useful accessory.

Perhaps someone with more Bluetooth knowledge will comment.

You could always walk around with the train, that’s what the remote is for 😉
