Reply to "Lionel Legacy vs MTH DCS: which one?"

CAPPilotOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

There are other command systems, such as DCC and Lionel's LionChief, used in O gauge. Be advised there are advocates and detractors for every system. For O gauge, DCS and Legacy are the two biggies. My recommendation is not to limit yourself to one system: plan to buy both at some point. I have both and I like them both. I run Legacy engines with my Legacy remote, not through the DCS system, which works well for me. I do this mainly because I like the Legacy remote better than the DCS one, plus I really like Legacy's quilling whistle. If you already have a layout I'd go with Legacy first because of its easy setup. If you want to try command control with the least investment, you can buy an older TMCC Cab1 and base pretty cheap to run TMCC engines (which can be found fairly cheap too) and Legacy engines in TMCC mode. No matter what you do, you will really like command control.
