Legacy MU Question:
I like to create a TRain with 2 engines  not coupled into the same train.  I do this so that I can maintain the same distance between both trains at all times!  The ability to assign the horn/whistle to both trains is fun, but when you create a train like this the base thinks the second engine is a slave to the first and turns off the headlight.  You can call up the second engine by its ENG ID and turn the headlight back on but when you toggle back to the TRain and give it a command the second engine's light goes back off.   Can you create a way for the base to recognize that this operation is in fact NOT an MU but rather 2 separate trains?  Maybe install a "space" on the CAB 2 in the build screen so that the base will recognize this as a different operation than an MU.  

Legacy Question:
Can you make the Aux 3 button operate the city horns on engines equipped with both horns and whistles like the GS-2, GS-4, AC-12.  I swear I recall on my old first generation Legacy GS-4 that there was a horn icon on the CAB2.  Maybe I am not remembering that properly.  Regardless pushing two buttons to operate the horn is a bit of nuisance.  

LCS Question
I use the LCS in conjunction with BPC2s and ASC2.  The system works great and I love the custom control panels....very handy!  I also use Legacy Powermasters to control my power districts.  Is there a "digital" toggle button in LCS so that I can control also the Powermasters with my iPad?  If there is one I have never found it.

Please consider making an STM that will communicate the position of points of switches controlled by DZ2500s to LCS!  I was bummed that the STM2 did not do that.

Please consider/develop more uses for the sensor tracks.  That product is underutilized at the moment.  How about breakdown units that have various time bomb features that trigger after the engine crosses over the sensor track x number of times?   Can the sensor track communicate with ASC2s? Can an engine crossing over the sensor track trigger an accessory to operate?  

Thank you for creating fun toys to play with!
