I have 2 Lionel SC-2's (total of 12 switches) and 1 ASC (4 switches) in my inventory. I am trying to plan out a yard with 13 switches and if you add the 3 switches taking you off the mainline (not shown) there will be 16 in this space. I am wondering if I just go with the switches that came with the turnouts and mount them on the skirting or use these for TMCC control.
I viewed the Lionel vids on youtube and read some of the threads on the forum. The vids aren't very educational and are older, but I did gather that they recommend the ASC over the SC-2 with Atlas turnouts. The forum threads are 3-4 years old and speak of SC-2's. Those indicate the SC-2's have signal dependable issues. Also, I did not see that any of them were using Atlas track. I also see that ASC's are still available but appear to be old technology since ASC-2's are out for use with the Legacy System.
I am soliciting some feedback on how many modelers are using either of these TMCC controllers with Atlas track. In addition, please provide me feedback on your satisfaction with them and whether you recommend them over skirting switches. Any other helpful suggestions on which to use and problems and solutions you had using them would also be welcome.
Thanks Guys
