Just wondering if Lionel is going to continue to support or add to it. I have not seen much mention of it. I used it on my last layout and am at the point on the new one where I need to decide weather I will continue it or us JMRI with the DCC system left from my 2 rail layout. I am not into automation of trains but would like to control switches and routes from a screen. I like the touch screen feature of the I Pad but JMRI on the computer uses a mouse. JMRI does have support for TMCC. I am using Tortise with machines that will work with both Lionel switch controllers or DCC switch its. The DCC system uses a two wire bus around the railroad that powers the track ( won't be needed) just use the bus to power the switch controllers and deliver the data making them more local and no need for longer runs back to SC2 units or long data cables ( seem long runs are a problem with serial) if spread out. any thoughts from those of you using LCS now.
