Landsteiner posted:For the MTH approach, beyond the initial 3 locos the Explorer controls, you're into to a $400+ investment in a TIU/WIU, and a smart device will be absolutely required.
Unfortunately, If you want to operate more than three LC or LC+ loco, there are no options available other than have more than one remote control. The current LionCheif app can only operate one Bluetooth equipment locomotive at a time.

Railsounds posted:Yes, that is correct. The ability to keep three locomotives in motion simultaneously is a feature of the Universal Remote that is not present in the iOS or Android LionChief Apps.
If you are willing to trade in all of your current Legacy equipped locos for New just arriving replacements with Bluetooth, you can run up to three with the Universal remote (which has limited features compared to the apps offered by Lionel)
For the Lionel approch, operating more than three locos is only possible if you purchase the (much) more expensive Legacy offerings and invest the $500 into a Legacy system with wifi.
