@Casey_Jones posted:Question: If the LC & LC+ can now be controlled by the Legacy Controller with your Gateway, does that mean the Lionel LCS can now control those locos also?, if so, then I guess no need to alter the LC App.
If so, I would love to find a way to bypass the Legacy base and just use Lionel LCS and your Gateway as the universal remote
Thank you

First of all, thank you for that excellent post, I'm so glad to see you like the results of my labor 
Before I answer your questions I also just want to mention that I may have to figure out some sort of arrangement like the LCS partner program with Lionel before I can actually sell a postwar LC board. Also I would have a bit of a road ahead of me for the motor control electrical engineering portion. My board works but is pretty sensitive to electrical spike damage right now. Software is my strong suit.
It might actually be easier for me to make a board that plugs into the same connector on the ERR driver boards as the Lionel TMCC module R2CL. Although I may also running to signal issues for the Bluetooth module reception in the metal shell of a steam loco. I could make the module with a wire long enough that you can stick it near the window in the cab of the shell or something though.
Now for the questions:
LCS absolutely should be able to control LC/LC+ locos since I am giving them a virtual TMCC engine ID number. I do not yet own any LCS equipment but as long as the commands are sent in the same format as the legacy base it should be fine. Good point though. My one legacy loco has IR so I should probably get the LCS IR receiver for it. Maybe make my self a module that lets me add IR transmitters to postwar and LC while I'm at it.
Now for your second question: I think it could work, if lets say you didn't have any legacy or tmcc locos, I may be able to allow LCS hardware to control LC locos. I guess you leave me no choice but to buy LCS stuff now. This should be tried at least once. It could really open a new market for Lionel's LCS gear. A new market to another one of their own product lines! I sure hope they embrace this. Fingers crossed.
