Post by: amtrakfann808 on May 09, 2009, 05:50:06 PM
 Hay guys! i just got the thought maby bachmen can make a DCC thing JUST liken the Lionel legend.
with the same sounds and actions! now I'm awer of all the copyright laws but it can look diffrent but have the same sounds and actions.

just tell me what you think and hopefully well see something like that soon.

If it were just like the Legend, I'd have to run my trains on 3-rail track. hmmmm.  On the other hand, if I wanted Lionel, that's what I'd have.  Variety is the spice of life, after all.

Yuck, 3 rail. I don't get what's so amazing about this system but I doubt it's better than our ho scale systems. Oh and this is an ho discussion board so no more lionel.

With all due respect, why not buy an inexpensive EZ Command system and have fun including sounds? Of course I've never been one to beat a dead horse.  LOL

My wife has a Bachmann On30 Roaring Ridge, it looks and runs great on our HO layout. I want to add DCC with sound, but my wife says "Leave it alone".  :D 

However, she really likes our EZ Command, so she may change her mind someday.

I think you guys are miseing the point. Im saying that ther can be a controler that looks like the lionel legend but wont need the 3rail useg. it will look like the legend and have the same actions as the legind but WILL NOT NEED THE 3 RAIL for this.

I think I'll stick with my Digitrax, thank you.  It can run up to 128 trains all at once on the same track, any scale, one rail, two rail or three rail, operate lights, animation, up to 12 sounds, turnouts, set up routes, and so forth.  It can do this using plug in throttles, by computer, or even over the internet.  Why would I be interested in down grading?

Exactly why we don't need another, less useful DCC system.

I'm sorry but can you please elaborate? (AKA) explain what you mean?
