Awesome
my only wish (for now
) would be improving the LC App to allow for independent control of 2 or more locomotives, but ....that might be a Lionel issue
Thank you for doing this
Continued success!

Funny enough I had started to address that issue on my own knowing that most likely wont be easy/possible for a phone to directly control more than one at a time. I have my LC gateway already able to control one or both at once. as seen here: https://youtu.be/mYDu9uKFSws?t=94
My solution is to use the LC Gateway to send commands to one or more trains at once by using the on screen horn and announcement buttons as a mode changer. Maybe all you need is drive mode and engine selection and consist building modes for example. I could also just write an app of my own in theory that would have these consist building options right on screen. I could also use such a custom app as a settings/config screen for the gateway.(I will have to try doing that no matter what now).
Anyways... I will try to make my gateway solve all issues at once. I have a feeling I could make a really neat solution to this problem using just the gateway and even the official LC app. (I could repurposed the existing volume screen as an engine selector!) each of the four volume sliders could select a different engine to build a consist! You're question actually gave me a good idea. I think I will have to try this concept out even though I only have one LC loco and one diy Postwar LC conversion train with me to test it right now. Thanks for the good question though. Keep coming up with more wises and I will keep having fun making them real. I will bring any updates on that progress to my other long running topic on the LC gateway. I will try to keep mostly Legacy stuff in this topic.
