@RixTrack posted:I never bought any MTH motive power. I didn’t want to invest in a second remote system. I had Lionel and was quite satisfied with it. MTH had some interesting locomotives that would ruin on any size layout and I hope they will be produced with LionChief Plus or Legacy. I just ordered the Pennsylvania C-Liner from Charles Ro for $499.95.
You could have bought a MTH locomotive and run it under TMCC control. It's pretty simple really. Remove the MTH electronics, install TMCC/RS from ERR, run under TMCC with full TMCC features. Simple, and done all the time. Before the last 12 months or so it was possible to buy a PS1 MTH locomotive and electronics from ERR for less than half the cost of a brand new Legacy locomotive.
