LC+, LC 2.0, LCS Questions

This link from Lionel should give you a pretty good starting point for information regarding the LCS system.

Introducing LCS | Lionel LCS

LC and LC+ locos need their remote or the Bluetooth App. LC+2.0 is TMCC with Bluetooth.

If you have TMCC-equipped switches, you will need a Legacy #990 Set or Cab-1L/Base-1L set. If your switches and accessories are operated by LCS ASC2s or older Lionel control devices (ASC, SC-2, etc.), then you will not need Legacy. Regarding Uncoupling tracks, an ASC2 will control up to 8.

Thanks for the confirmation that LC+2.0 locomotives can be controlled with the LCS/Legacy systems. Right?

Correct. My LC+2.0 Big Boy runs great on my Legacy layout. You just need to make sure you set up the LC+2.0 loco for TMCC control in your CAB-2 remote.

I thought LC+ 2.0 engines were scale. if not, are they going to look odd with my scale freight?

Maybe I should just pony up and get the legacy version... hmmm.

I think most of them are technically semi-scale. With the LionMaster locos (like the Big Boy), it's hard to tell the difference. The thing looks and sounds massive. Mine pulls 9x of these K-Line PFE reefers and a wood side caboose and the train looks great. Here are a few photos and videos of the train running.

Sure look good to me! Thank you for taking the time to send those.
