@Long Hair posted:I would add the Bluetooth range issue. For the home user, Bluetooth is the wave of the future. However, Lionel can't have their club users following their locomotives around a club-sized layout to keep Bluetooth in range. Some customers really need a locomotive that runs LC at home but conventional or TMCC on the road. Enter LC plus and 2.0.
Well, not a wave in my future! The range isn't even useful for a fairly small 12 x 24 layout, when I walk a few feet from the end, the phone drops the connection. The universal remote has to be within 10-12 feet of the engine! This is for LC+ and LC+ 2.0 stuff. In an odd twist, the remote that came with my one LC+ locomotive does much better than Bluetooth or the Universal remote. Since that's the one locomotive I converted to battery power, that's a good thing, the remote is the only way to run it on battery!
I'll be using TMCC with any LC+ 2.0 stuff I get in the future.
