@Landsteiner posted:Not to be too glib, but 1998 isn't 1994. There was no high quality DCC sound in the early to mid-1990s when TMCC and Railsounds were developed.
DCC is neither simple nor problem free all the time
You didn't say "High quality sound" You said "decent quality sound ". I agree with you at the time RS was better.
Never said that. What I said was: "I have often said the most important thing to ME in a Command Control system is when I give it a command the engine responds and obeys to that command. That's what I get with DCC. As I said I have one time in 20 years that a locomotive got power without the signal compared to literally hundreds of times this has happened TO ME with the 3 rail proprietary systems and I didn't have these systems that long! Imagine if I was still running them today how many times the signal would not have gotten to the locomotive? I also said many times that all 3 systems have their pros and cons. One of the pros of your system is that it is easier to use than DCC. I have never said otherwise but I will take the DCC learning curve for getting that command to the locomotive RELIABLY ANY DAY over the ease use of use of TMCC.
"Your mileage may no doubt vary, but hundreds of thousands of Lionel customers were and are perfectly happy with TMCC and Legacy (and LionChief)."
My mileage did vary. While I highly doubt it is that many people as from articles in OGR most guys run conventional and I don't count Lionchief because that system works differently than the original TMCC and I have used it and it is more reliable than the original TMCC.
But let me say yes, you win your control system is better than mine!! 
Enjoy it as I will undoubtedly enjoy mine.
