It came along at a good price, and looked to be a candidate for an upgrade.

 

The board fit nicely under the cover, I actually hogged out some of the deck and it sits up into the plastic generator cavity.

Thanks, I got this one. After looking again, the light does rotate, but only by hand. I am starting a new search for one like yours. Mine is Lionel also, didn't realize they had different versions? Nothing like learning the hard way.

At this years LUG meeting Mike gave us some insight as to why we won't see many due to cost of building a standard and Legacy version.   While I understand I disagree with his comments.

 

I'd rather see many of the operating cars and accessories come with Legacy. I think they'd sell more Legacy systems and operating device. My ACC button on the Cab2 doesn't get enough use.

 

Thanks John.  I'll look into that!

Hmmm...sounds like a good opportunity for a 3rd party to come in and start adding boards to some of these like GRJ did. Wonder if someone could do it cost effectively and still have room to make a profit? Probably have to get parts and cars at dealer prices to make a go of it? I am not a candidate, but many others around here are, you and GRJ included, but I know he already has a lot of irons in the fire. I think you said you were pretty busy as well, but nice thought anyway.

 

Not sure I understand or agree with the production comments? They make a few hundred (or thousand or whatever amount) conventional cars, then change the line a bit and make the Legacy versions in what ever quantities desired. That's what manufacturers do all the time. That's sort of like saying they can make only one type of car? How do they switch between box cars, hopper cars, flat cars, etc.? I realize they cost more, but they also make engines detailed for specific rail roads.
