Mike did give mth operators what they wanted a reissued daylight with upgraded dcs 3.0! Albeit without the quillable whistle but thats about it. For a price that is comparable to other mth high end steamers! That is why I,a lionel legacy supporter and user are just down right mad! As I have said in my other post why is legacy deemed so much more than dcs asking price wise by the brass at lionel for god sakes it is just lionels albeit "new standard operating system" but come on!! Thats all it is is an operating system! Better than dcs IMO yes, but $200 better than dcs ****NO!!!!!! So can lionel charge what they want for it yes, but I dont agree I should have to pay $200 in additional cost for what should be standard. Mth continues to upgrade dcs.proto 1, Dcs 2.0 then dcs 3.0 ect. ect. It even puts it in the entire line across the board. Starter set to premium engine. All with out rasing prices all that much from the last 2.0 or whatever it is at the time . Lionel rather takes thier outdated tmcc and horrible oddesy 1 years later and does thier upgrade to compete with dcs and calls it legacy with improved oddsey 2 and hits a home run IMHO,but now it feels with this latest operating system which does run the trains slower and better. Plus easer to use features with new remote.No scrolling through menus like dcs to get to the desired special sounds or features. Now They feel I guess they can compete with dcs Finally. Then the top brass says lets put a price point on this and charge more than tmcc and dcs.we will Tell the operator you are getting the world class in trains. Come on we have the name LIONEL. Only the prestigious train officianoto run lionel. you are getting the only the rolls royce of trains. who could put a price tag on that! I guess only time and sales with tell if they are right.
For what it is worth I still will try to save my money to get one after the price drops but only then!
Sorry sam If I highjacked your thread it was not my intention to do so I Just had to get the big L disappointment off my chest !
Bet the mth versions out sell the lionels at the msrp asking price what do you think?
