Hi Mike,
I’m with you...the whistle and smoke are truly great improvements over the original LC+ first issues. I still have a Hudson as a New York Central and had a Pacific as a Canadian Pacific.
I am having an issue with my new Pere Marquette Berkshire when running it using the app on my iPhone. At a distance exceeding 16 to 18 feet, the throttle on the app bottoms out, then the disconnect sign comes on followed by the train stopping. It also seems to occur if I turn away from the layout and my body is between my iPhone and the layout. I have also exerienced the disconnect when the whistle or bell have locked on while operating and won’t/can’t be shut off. There has not been a disconnect while using the dedicated remote. However, one of the reasons for making this purchase was the increased functionality available through the app.
Please followup here as to how your experience goes while operating your new Berkshire with the Bluetooth and app.
