you can use the direction button and the sound will flow together and it will run nicer!

@SouthernCresent722 I could use the direction button, but it's more prototypical to slow the locomotive down and then stop it

Nice vid. I'm just starting to look into trains now that my boy is growing up some. Minor minor detail, though, there's a little bit of an error in what you said regarding the use of the remote control. The amp display...it's not AC...it's RC...for remote control. Drawback of the controller designers using low-res displays for letters.

haha no problem...and yeah, thanks for pointing that out. i never noticed thats what it actually said

hey do u have the lionel legacy system or are u just a mth guy

[FECRWY]

I Only Have An MTH System. FYI, Lionel And MTH Might Be Doing Some Work Together Sometime In The Near Future.

I don't find O gauge prototypically correct or accurate in any way...it has three rails...

[FECRWY]

@InhumanRampageModz well, as much as I know about model trains, I have never converted a ps1 system to a ps2 system.

@a44468 open your pocket book and i not sure but you can fry the older lionels but what MTH guy going to do with non flywheel or the sounds

[ez2tv3]

Me, I modeled OK in both HO Scale and O Scale. It all depends on the specific model railroader.

[smlengns]

It will run modern Lionel in conventional mode as is and in TMCC mode with a TMCC adapter. It will not control all of the Lionel Legacy features.
