I placed a pre-order today with TrainWorld for the Tier-4 BNSF set.   I have six LC+ locos, this will be my first LC loco.   I decided to give it a try in order to have a modern LC diesel loco, I hope that I don't regret this decision.   I also have the new LC+ SD-60M which is a great locomotive, and the LC+ Berkshire.   Delivery is not until end of this year (2018), so perhaps into 2019.   BTW I used the AP to set the sounds on my two recent LC+ locos, but generally just run them with my Universal Remote, with 3 trains running on my small 4X12 layout.

With my LC+ locos I rarely use the remote uncouplers.   The LC+ features I will miss with this LC locomotive are the speed control and the ability to tune the sounds through the ap.

You won’t regret this decision. My LC CSX GP38 diesel from the intermodal set is well worth the price especially with all the sweet maxi stacks and semi trailers they sell for $60 seperate, I think the BNSF set this time around will be a very similar experience you will enjoy it and I can tell you for certain that the sounds are adjustable via the app the same as the LC+ models. That being said check the loco gears out of box and perhaps oil them I felt Lionel could’ve been more thorough in this area, but it’s very minor.
