@Ray Lombardo posted:There are two realities, irrespective of our personal preferences: (1) new physical remotes for Lionel and MTH are going away; and (2) if we get to the point that the applications are not being updated, the firm in question is out of business, unless somehow those running it think it a good idea to abandon the interface that operates its (expensive) command control locomotives.
Lionel and MTH went years without updating their apps, and they're still in business, so that statement isn't really true. 
It's not necessarily true that physical remotes are going away, situations change. At least Lionel kept the CAB1L in production, that's a start. At this point, MTH is an also-ran in the race, so I don't expect much movement from them on the remote question.
