That is the Legacy 990 set-up, correct?
Looks like per the other threads, these will be ready the third of never.... great.
Thanks for the advise, I do appreciate it.

Yes, the 990 full Legacy setup is the one you want. And yes it has been backordered for many months. They will be available again sometime (soon I hope) and that is the one to get.
I bought my first Legacy engine last Sept. and ordered a Legacy 990 at the same time. Had no idea it would take this long, but I am reasonably certain Lionel is doing all they can to make them available again (as this is their top of the line product). As others have said, get one on order now so you don't miss out on this next batch.
There is the Cab-1L/Base-1L which is available now, but unless you want to end up with 2 sets with one not able to operate all Legacy functions, I would wait, that's my plan anyway. Or, you could get the Cab/Base-1L and have a back up if your Legacy system ever had to go in for repair. You would also have an additional remote to operate at least the TMCC functions of your engines.
A third option might be to try to pick up an old TMCC (Cab-1) Base and MTH 50-1032 cable and use that with your DCS to operate your Lionel stuff until the Legacy's are available again. I think that's all you would need, but I'm not up on all the older Lionel stuff. Like you, I only have DCS right now and all but 1 of my engines are MTH.
