Chris Underwood posted:Correct me if I am wrong but BT doesn't replace Legacy or LC it just provides another interface so you can use the BT app. I have an investment in Legacy engines and use my cab remote but it is to complicated for youngsters who just want to control the train and blow the whistle. These kids are attached to their PED so I am just looking for a way to draw them in.
Having a BT module that can be added to older Legacy, LC or even conventional won't keep me from buying new engines that I wouldn't have bought otherwise.

Yes, you are correct. Bluetooth is a wireless transport protocol only and reliable per spec. to thirty feet. If your layout is greater than this specification, and you are on the far side from the device your talking to, "Good Luck" To actual do anything with BT you need an "App" on each side acquiring and performing an activity based on the data received via the protocol.
The Legacy "System" on the other hand encompasses the apps both in the remote and on the Locomotive, control boxes, etc and the transport protocol
