Fair enough. I was on the fence about a locomotive from the most recent catalog. If it was something I just have to have, I would probably still buy it. Also, my mind set was about locomotives. There's no reason to not buy rolling stock or accessories.
Now I'm pondering my DCS equipment. I have an original TIU and handheld remote. I also have a new Wi-Fi + TIU. If the new TIU dies, then I'm back to the original and no Wi-Fi. If the Wi-Fi dies, then I'm back to the original handheld remote.
There's already a shortage of DCS control devices on the market.
