@rplst8 posted:I could care less what they offer. But whatever they offer should work well in lash-ups, and TMCC leaves a lot to be desired in that arena. I also want prices to remain in check, and I think offering two systems make it more challenging to keep the price lower. Plus more SKUs usually means more complexity and makes it harder for customers to find what they want. DCS allows you to run with DCS and DCC (as of PS 3.0) as well as conventional AC and DC operation. Because of that, I think it makes sense for Atlas WRT their business segments.
I tend to agree with you on the short comings of TMCC. I also find that ERR cruise commander is more prone to stalling due power interruption on switches, crossovers, and less than perfect track. My Legacy and Proto Sound 3 Engines rarely give me these problems. TMCC speed control also feels clunky compared to the newer systems.
On another tread, I floated out the idea of using Proto Sound 3 in future Atlas O Masterline locomotives and got a very poor reception from the other members.
