Reply to "Motor control board DCDS and other electronic parts not available via Lionel"

I agree that tmcc is a lot easier to repair. My concern was having the correct code in the boards. John's smoke and chuff boards help out a lot. Odyssey motor boards have code specific to an engine. If Lionel releases that code so after market parts can be made, that works for me. I've lost 3 radio boards due to board failure and one motor board due to a pinched wire. Not bad for 30 years of command control. I just want options to keep everything running. Accessories like the tmcc cars and the backshop have unique code. My whale car does not work with c08 code in the radio board. I tried it when the board failed. Lionel had to program a radio board with whale code to bring the car back to life.

It's not the end of the world, but options are nice when a failure occurrs.
