Yeah, I've had the same issue. I am new to O-Gauge and it sucks because there are no control systems of any kind available (for digital). I have an old 2007 Polar Express conventional with a CW-80, and I am sure that is going to blow up when the fan motor goes, so I hear. So I did get a LionChief starter set and that works great with the handheld remote and LionChief app, and I have a couple of LC Plus 2.0 locos that are awesome. But I think I am stuck at that point in the hobby for the foreseeable future. I want to support MTH but I cannot run their digital locos (not really wanting to go back to conventional) and it doesn't seem like they are in any hurry to make more. I know, pandemic and all, but it really seems to me that both Lionel and MTH dropped the ball big time on control systems.

And yes, I know Lionel is coming out with Base3 and Cab3, but that is at least a year wait from what I hear.
