SandJam posted:I'm not sure why you would need a comparison. LC/LC+ is to this generation of kids and forward, what postwar was to the boomers. They would not know what Postwar is and even if they did where would they buy it? Unless a relative takes them to a train show, most parents are going to a hobby shop or online to get a train set for their kids. They are not going to buy some beat up 1950's postwar set. That's like a teenager today wanting to but a 1950's car. They want a 2018 car. I think each generation should stand on it's own, no comparison needed. LC/LC+ is a great new system for this generation of techy kids.
Agreed, but the comparison is for those who already know about and like Postwar. LC+ has some similar qualities to Postwar that many of us value: simplicity of operation, reliable, rugged, affordable, etc.
Also, LC+ runs very well on my Postwar tubular track, 031 curves and 022 switches.
Then, LC+ has modern features that Postwar doesn't have. I find these modern features very desirable and make me want to run LC+ more often lately: prototypical slow and steady speed, very good smoke and sounds, uncoupling anywhere I want on my layout.
