Reply to "Lion chief vs legacy"

Mike in NCOGR Forum Member

Times are changing,.. so it depends. For me I have mostly Lionchief and only a few Legacy. The most recent purchases were a LC Peabody loco and a set of hoppers. They look nice, operate good, and the grandkids enjoy the bright colors. Also a new LC Southern Crescent 4-6-2 to pull those old Madison passenger cars since my original 70's 4-6-4 Crescent is noisy and has no sounds. My latest were both the Lionel LC 2.0 Norfolk Southern SD80MAC's which are great and can also operate in Legacy mode along with my NS First Responders Legacy SD60 which was only about $50 more than the SD80's in LC. Still it is all just about what I like, and ease of operation which the LC remotes (hand one to each of the grandkids) make easy. Going forward any LionChief would definitely be the 2.0 versions. Also to note one of the differences between LC and Legacy is the scale, or mostly near scale of LionChief.
