I don't have one yet but the attraction is growing, two that I really like are Berkshire and the one Arnold showed, the Reading and Northern.
For me the ease of running and now Lionel has added Bluetooth for those that like running with their phone or tablet and at no cost. Seems like a winner to me.

Hi David, the 2 LC+ steamers I have are the blue Jersey Central Pacific and the Erie Camelback.
Reading and Northern (or Reading and something else), rings a bell, but I don't have that one. Reading is another Eastern railroad that I love.
So far, my preference within LC+ are also the steamers. I have one LC+ smoking diesel, New Haven FAs, which are very nice, but not as good a puller as the steamers that have more heft.
Incidentally, since I am approaching the end of the 1 year warranty period, I don't over exert my LC+ engines. This may sound silly but I generally have them pull trains with light weight modern cars whose wheels have angled flanges. I tend to avoid having them pull long trains with heavier Postwar operating cars. I got classic double motor Postwar Lionel locomotives, and modern double motor Williams, K Line and MTH engines for heavy duty pulling.
I mistook the Jersey Central for the Reading and Northern, very similar colors, sorry for the mistake. I really like it though.
Dave
