Hiawatha98 posted:What I don't understand is why there isn't more outrage about LC+2 not including a remote. For example, the LC+ FT AA sets retailed for $499.99 and came with its own remote. The LC+2 FT AA Sets cost $549.99 and do not include a remote. How much more expensive could the new circuit boards possibly be?
John, I am not outraged about it but I would have preferred each LC+ 2.0 engine to come with a dedicated remote like LC+ does.I have the Universal Remote plus a smartphone and tablet with the LC app so I can live without it.
I guess that Lionel is thinking that those who would buy LC+ 2.0 locomotives would be established hobbyists and either have the Universal Remote, a smart device or a TMCC or Legacy system.
