A LOOK AT THE NEWEST LIONEL LCP2 AND LCP3 boards

First question, do you have pinouts for the boards?

So a failure of say sound or any 1 thing would mean you will need a compleate board to replace.

Well, I haven't heard about this change before, but I am certainly no expert.  In the first video Alex shows which outputs relate to what features, but it struck me that this arrangement is hardly very user-serviceable, and unless I miss my guess, it means that a whole board might need to be replaced if one component on it fails. Maybe that's really the position at present but I found the separate/modular components easier to understand.

Also sounds like there will be an LCP3 board for steamers, but that it hasn't made it's way into anything issued to date. Is that right?

It all seems to put a premium on programming these things correctly at the manufacturing stage, which does not exactly fill me with confidence as sound/control errors have surfaced all too often.

I was always surprised on how big the whole Legacy board set was. I thought it would be smaller. It seemed (to me) like it hadn't changed much since TMCC.

So this makes sense, if not for the several years later.

I imagine there will be the usual fear of something new. I hope it works as designed without too much teething. Always seems like buyers don't accept any slip ups or failures.

Thanks for sharing again!
