making sure the Lionchief board I buy has the High Power Rating. How do I figure this out when purchasing a board?

And there, my friend, lies the issue. https://www.lionelsupport.com/...ords=lionchief%20pcb

I know the cheaper older Lionchief RF remote only non-bluetooth boards have the higher power motor driver section. These are all the $45 boards in the list (as of today).

The issue comes in picking a newer Bluetooth enabled board. Lionel did not post pictures of the board, or in some cases a generic substitute. Nowhere in the name nor designation would you be able to know for sure. These are the $75 boards- just some examples below.

FYI, that failure picture in the previous post- that was from a http://www.lionel.com/products...onchief-set-2023010/ and this specific part number https://www.lionelsupport.com/...OOTH-0-8-0-STRASBURG
