@RSJB18 posted:not to hijack the thread but I'm considering jumping to command control. Would a Cab 1L set be adequate for starters? I have a small layout and can't see investing in a current Legacy set just yet.

Bob, I was wrestling with (maybe) the same question as you for a few months. I had decided I wanted to be able to control conventional locos remotely as well as an older Atlas TMCC I've had for a while. I seriously considered getting a Cab 1L, but by the time I added a TPC or compatible Powermaster, the costs didn't make sense to me, considering at some point I knew I would eventually want to upgrade to the Cab2 with its additional features. So I decided to wait and save some more money until I could buy the #990 base with remote plus a couple of the Powermasters to use with my existing PW ZWs. In the end, I think I spent ~$250 more by waiting and didn't end up with the extra stuff I didn't really want in the first place. Just my $0.02 worth of advice.
