That would be a terrible idea. Lionel needs to keep these DCC and Bluetooth at the most. The HO guys don't want another control system and quite frankly I doubt Lionel wants to deal with Legacy in these small footprints without little to no value.
Just my opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Trainman;
The Forum is a great place for opinions... please don’t stop offering them - discussions get very dry without varying opinions.
That being said, somewhere down the road, after Lionel establishes a presence in the HO market, Legacy compatibility may be something to consider. But when they are trying to break into a new market segment, from a marketing/sales prospective, you want to appeal to the broadest possible group. If you are already an HO type, you would probably not consider a new Lionel offering if it also required a Legacy setup. As we don’t know where Lionel is going with this acquisition, at this point, I would have to agree with Marty that DCC or Bluetooth is probably the best way to go.
