Captaincog posted:Running multiple engines is easy and almost easier than switching between 2 engines on my legacy Cab2 so having 3 engines on call is nice. Since I run trains at quite a few shows having engines that run with this remote allows me to leave the engine specific remotes at home and reduce the risk of damage.
To be fair Lionel does day that it will not control all Lionchief engines so I figured I would post up what I have found out. I have 2 other engines to dig out and try that are starter set engines. The technology changes so fast as far as what is available I am not surprised. The real question is how often do most users run their holiday themed sets? I suspect the newer designs will likely work fine.
I really feel this remote is a great value and does exactly what it should.
Thanks, Jeff, for your review and effort letting us know which rtr sets won't work with the remote. I'm planning to buy the remote but before I do thanks to your heads up I'll now call Lionel's service department and hopefully they'll be able to tell me whether it will work with the LC rtr sets I want to use it with. At least that will save me disappointment and aggravation of purchasing it only to discover it won't fit my needs after I've tried using it.
