As pointed out, the Bluetooth range issue is not a Bluetooth generic system issue, but the choice of mode Lionel selected with its initial offering. Lionel engineering is well aware of this and is correcting the problem. Somewhat related, it has become clear that Lionel is going all in on smart device app control. Their approach appears to be to enable app control for every system in the Lionel arena. Having worked for several years with a number of app controlled systems, I can understand their decision and heartily endorse it.
