Certainly an update/ adaptation could have been designed. Maybe not at Lionels price point. The same reason they no longer power the trains with Pittman motors.
Good point. The old keyboard/touchscreen was plastic and pressure sensitive. All newer stuff uses glass with capacitive touch, which only needs the lightest pressure to detect a 'push'.
Glass is heavier and definitely more expensive.
Agreed,
