Kevin:
My son and I have been running DCS for about 10 years and love it. It has many great features including the ability to patch Lionel TMCC or Legacy through the MTH track interface unit (TIU) and run the Lionel engines on the MTH control system with your MTH equipment. As Mike Wolf told me years ago at a York TCA meet, "You will love running trains with DCS." He was right!
