I also feel Chuck's comments on the diesel locomotive options are the most likely. Around 75% of S gauge operators run in an AC environment. ST has this covered with the AC option, just as AM always has done. I do not see ST offering any command control other than DCC (ESU.) Legacy is proprietary to Lionel and has never been licensed to anyone else or made available for aftermarket conversions. Operators like me will need to buy a DC only version and install ERR TMCC/Railsounds boards just like we do in the AM engines.
I hope S gauge people like Chuck and Rusty, plus some others, have an opportunity to provide guidance to ST in some of the key product decisions.

It'd simplify their manufacturing to just build and sell one option - an AC / DC / DCC ready all-in-one with swappable Hi-Low Trucks like MTH did with their Proto-Scale 3-2 models.
