Yes, thank you for posting this information, Jeff. Surprised it doesn't work for all Lionchief products, (especially their all time best selling rtr Polar Express set,) since it's advertised as a Lionchief universal remote. That being the case, I wonder why Lionel hasn't published a list of Lionchief sets and engines it's not compatible with so people buying it to use it it with those sets won't then buy it and thus be spared the hassle of returning it along with $$ lost from return shipping costs and possible restocking fees after discovering such incompatibility.
