Reply to "No Lionel Will Not be Doing Anything With DCS and Here's the Proof"

I use both DCS and Legacy/TMCC.  I find that Legacy is much easier to setup and use on both my home layout and on my club's layout than DCS.  Legacy/TMCC is also more reliable on my layouts.

I can't tell you how many times I get the dreaded "engine not found" or "engine not on track" DCS messages.  "Engine not on track" is especially frustrating because the engine is sitting on the track right in front of me.  Both my club layout and home layouts are star wired for DCS and I use BCRs in all my PS-2 engines.  

I applaud people that have great success using DCS but that isn't me.  Legacy/TMCC engines sometimes have problems.  I can usually trace those problems to a poor antenna or ground that I can fix.  When a DCS engine is "not found", however, I have no clue how to fix it.  My locomotive fleet is about half Legacy/TMCC and half DCS.    

I wish that the 3-rail community had a standard command control system that was used by all the manufacturers.  NH Joe
