Mercer Junction Lionel wifi Demo by Marty E

Have fun! Marty is our great ambassador for the Lionel legacy system!

Sounds Great! I'm using the MTH Wi-Fi and it works great. The next step is to incorporate the Lionel unit on my railroad. 

Looking forward to it!  We'll cover the basics, the sensor track, WiFi apps, and more!

I hope someone can take pictures and share. The store looks amazing in the pics I've seen. Still on my list to get there someday.

It's great to have such a progressive store there. Wish I lived nearby. Have a great time.

Great system.  I have had it from day one.  Nobody can show people any better than Marty.   Pay attention to him and you will learn.  Dave has a great store and layout.  His store is one of the best.

Marty sweet maybe i can get down there..

I'm planning to be there. Always a real pleasure to visit The Junction.

MARTY is a great ambassador of the hobby.  Any chance you will have this on video?

It might be rabbit...it might be.

Although this will be different than what we do at the Legacy meeting which is more specific oriented.  For this we'll do a basic overview of the system, engines, and components.  We'll then get into the apps, and LCS system.  It more of introducing folks to Legacy.  I don't want to over whelm but get folks up to speed on what is available and what the system does.

Wish I could be there. Any chance of putting this on YouTube?

You need any legacy engines for demonstrating? I can bring some if you want 

What dose the Lionel Wi-Fi system hardware cost? I looked in the on line catalogs and found a lot of information and pictures of it but I could see no stated pricing on it.

GG1Man -

If you already have the Legacy system, I believe the only hardware you need to purchase is Lionel 6-81325, the Layout Control System WiFi module (http://www.lionel.com/products...-wifi-module-6-81325).  

The MSRP is $180 but I have seen it for sale at $135. 

Correction to above:  If you don't already have other LCS components, you will also need the power supply DB9 cable connector, 6-81499, MSRP $36.99, available for under $28.

Thank You GG1MAN, that price is right in line with the MTH system. Reasonable enough to buy just for the fun of it and yes I do already have the Legacy system so it should not be a big deal to install and learn it.

If not I always have Marty!

Made the trip up to Mercer today for the Legacy Demo.  Great time and there was a nice turnout to see the demo.  Below are a few pics I snapped.

For those of you curious, yes we did record the demo on video.  I will post it in a few days after editing. 

Here is a quick iPhone video to tempt you...

Thanks to Dave and everyone at Mercer Junction Train Shoppe for a wonderful day!

Marty thanks for the demo and thanks Dave for doing it. 

Thanks to everyone that came out. Hope to do it again.  Dave was a great host with an awesome store!  

Thanks for posting the photos great to see the store and the layout again on the Forum.

Best Wishes from Roo in West Australia.

Dave's store looks FANTASTIC!!!  Will definitely need to check out Mercer Junction the next time I'm visiting or driving through western PA.
