I feel the same way.
Plus, I am happy with MTH prices for Rail King and RK Imperial engines w/ PS3.
Thus, LC+ offers nothing to me (conventional) for roughly $350.
However, for conventional operators it "might" make sense...
But then, why not just buy a Williams Engine? You can upgrade them easily.
IMHO, LC+ is a great option for new people into the hobby or even better, conventional operators looking for more realism (sound etc) without having to perform an upgrade.
Agreed. Which is exactly what I posted above about my own experience and interest in LC+. Conventional operator only of mostly PW Lionel so I have no interest in TMCC/Legacy.
Here's another facet of LC+ that has appealed to me (so far, at least). Two of the recent offerings (the NW-2s and the E-33 Rectifier Electrics) harken back to the PW days and I was immediately interested when I saw them in the catalogs. They are also offering FT AA sets in the 2015 catalog. Hoping for some F3s next time.
