You may be overestimating the number of customers affected by (and thus concerned about) this decision. More a question of good will for the very small number of advanced hobbyists who are affected. My suggestion is to write a polite email to Howard Hitchcock or one his senior staff suggesting a fix or two, and asking for the plan going forward. My guess is we will hear something in due course. I'm sure they will also hear from their dealers with repair facilities. A little patience is warranted. It's still their slow season

Considering, the current inflation environment…imho - they are going to be in trouble fast. Frankly, I think there’s more to this decision than either of us know. I’m a Wall Streeter…Lots going on…. Look at the fed ex announcement on cut backs….. Maybe, the “investors” are running for the hills?
Also, I was never a big fan of the newer rcmc boards needing to be programmed by Lionel.
