I am also 100% semi-scale and 100% steam. Although I run semi-scale, I like my models to be reasonable caricatures of the prototype rather than generic. MTH RK Imp steam fits my high rail modeling philosophy, budget, and available space nicely. I also run DCS (TIU with wifi). Love the features. I have stayed away from LC + because the models are either generic or don't have the sound & control features I like. LC+ 2.0 could change that for me. The features list as posted by GRJ above are more to my liking, especially the 4 chuffs / revolution. For example, a LC+ 2.0 version of the LC+ 2-8-2 would work for me. To my eye, that model is a great semi-scale version of a USRA light Mike that would blend well with my MTH RK steam. Hopefully, Lionel releases a comprehensive line of LC+ 2.0 steam, similar to what was the Lionmaster line.
