I have two features that I really want to see MTH and Lionel add to their respective command systems: sand fill/application buttons with corresponding sounds on engines, and dynamic brake control simulation with sound on diesel locos so equipped.

Operators could simulate loading sand into the sand compartments on a locomotive and then simulate the application of sand to increase traction. The feature would also have corresponding sound effects.

The dynamic brakes could be used with Lionel's Legacy Train Brake lever, and Legacy operators could switch between normal train brakes and dynamic brakes by pressing the AUX-3 key. I don't know how MTH would make the dynamic brake feature work without an update to the app or a new remote.

Also, a new DCS remote that works with the new WTIU and a new Legacy 2.0 system with some new features (including the ones I mentioned above) could be made.
