@rplst8 posted:Think about it this way, a current DCS-only, remote loving operator will soon have no way to replace their remote if it breaks or the remote-compatible. If someone else releases a cheap, or free to custom make Legacy-DCS bridge, the the Legacy remote and command base become an option for them. Also, that person may then be more inclined to buy more Legacy locomotives as well.
Well, you can think of it that way, but I'll bet it'll be a cold day down below before you see a Legacy-DCS bridge product from Lionel. 
If such a product happens, it'll be a 3rd party that produces it. I still believe that Lionel has no interest in making it easier for people to run DCS products, it's just not in their financial interest. Since as near as I can tell, the bean counters run the show at Lionel, something that doesn't positively impact the bottom line has little chance of success.
