I received my Universal Lionchief/Lionchief Plus Remote yesterday and I wanted to post what I have experienced and learned so far. First, the instructions are very simple and adding or deleting an engine could not be any easier. The only time an engine will not add would be some of the start set style engines. So far my Polar Express and Silver Bells engines are not recognized by the remote. I have 2 Lionchief Plus engines and the remote saw them right away. My Zombie Rescue set engine was also recognized by the remote and all worked as advertised. I do have a couple other starter set engines that I want to test and will get back with more details on that.
Operation is smooth and switching between engines is easy. I do like the engine lock out feature which once an engine is being run by the universal remote no one else can operate that engine until the universal remote is turned off. Nice feature and this will be helpful when running at a show. it seems like there is some type of Bluetooth style controls in there since the Bluetooth engine I saw and ran would lock the engine to the remote in a similar manner.
Overall a nice design and I will be writing some more on what I find and experience.
