@Dave45681 posted:Not that I disagree with either of you guys, the MTH subway sets were for the most part a home run.
But I need to wonder, is a subway set without DCS and the Auto Mode feature still as desirable as the MTH models with those features? My understanding is that the subway sets have a special board that allows that, i.e., it's not just dropping a subway set sound file into a standard Proto 2.0 or 3.0 (or 3/2, whatever the latest board is) electronics package.
Would the same subway sets with Legacy be just as sought after?

Each brand has its pluses and minuses. With MTH you get auto mode which is awesome however you only get 9 stops on the respective route. With Lionel you don't get auto mode however you do get the entire route with all the stops for the route. On lionel, you'd have to create a recording and do the buttons to play the announcements and the doors. I personally like the auto mode of the MTH sets honestly since you program it and left it do its thing. To answer your question, in my opinion I don't think they would as sought after unless lionel comes up with there own version of auto mode.
