@West Side Joe posted:I own only one O gauge item, the Lionel R-27 subway set. I purchased the TMCC controller, which gives me what I want, namely door control and the station announcements. The layout I am building for the R-27 will only run the one train. I see that the Legacy 990 controller offers some added benefit such as easier door control, as well as some crew talk (which normally wouldn't be heard outside the train anyway), and individual addressing of trains when more than one is on the layout (which wouldn't be so in my case).
Given the circumstances, is there any reason any of you would offer for spending the $350 or so to upgrade to the Legacy controller?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
With Legacy, you have better control over the doors (you can use the touchpad to control them rather than be stuck with the keys to open/close them). You also have better control over the stops, you can scroll through them to find a specific stop instead of having to play them all. Plus, with legacy you can do a recording so you don't have to constantly press the buttons for it to play the announcements and the doors. I did a video on doing a recording with the R27 which can be found here. FWIW, I love mine
