I have 2 Lionel steam locks. They each came with a great blue tooth (?) controller that is great.

Just had to get another loco but did not include a controller. Of course I can make it go with the transformer but then I am driving all 3 at same time, not good for prime time.

What is the best option? I like current technology. Of course cost is no restriction or I wouldn't still be in this hobby.

My new loco is Lionel legacy aura 0-8-0.

Each model of LC or LC+ locomotives has a model specific remote that it will function with.  If you have two or more identical LC or LC+ locomotives of the same model, they'll all react to the controller, that's the way it works.

Perhaps if you'd be more specific as to exactly what you have, we could provide more intelligent answers.  Remember, actual product numbers are the most useful.

To be specific. Lionel LEGACY  USRA 0-8-0 Steam loco 78-3209-250    7/16

I first of want to operate this independently. I'm ok with that basic controller like with my other 2 locos. And I am open to other simple to understand systems that might run 3 or 4 the same time.

I just got back into the hobby 2 yrs ago so there are a lot of new techs to learn.

Hope this helps and I am really grateful to everyone's help.

78-3209-250 refers the to manual document number.

As revealed by the manual, this locomotive is Legacy Equipped, but not Bluetooth equipped (the inclusion of Bluetooth control in Legacy locomotives is very recent). As such, it is not shipped with a remote, but meant to be used with the higher end Legacy System.
