Thank you so much for taking the time to make & present the video - really enjoyed it.
One thing I noticed is that on the list of feature icons on the top of the page that the Bluetooth icon is first and not the Legacy icon anymore. It rather speaks to the direction Lionel is going, which makes me sad. Trying to run trains with my phone and BT has been nothing short of frustrating, but I know when I pick up the Cab 2 (Or even the Cab-1) I know I'm in for a pleasant operating session.

Same. What bothers me is the fact that the RTR train sets don't have the TMCC feature. If I was just starting out and purchased a set then got a legacy remote and engine. I'd want to use the legacy remote to run that train. Yes, LC+2.0 gives you that option but why isn't it on a RTR set, the typical starting point in the hobby. If Lionel wants a seamless transition between train set and legacy, this certainly doesn't do it. Unless Lionel is planning to make a Cab-3 with Bluetooth that would allow both to run on the same remote as everything else but what do I know.

They are not 3 and 4 car sets. They are 2 car expansion sets. So 2 cars in Expansion set #3 and 2 cars in expansion set #4. Hope that makes since
I ordered the F7 Great Northern / BN A-A pair. Thats all folks.
I was going to order 3 or 4 dome cars and a box car but I am not paying for cameras I DO NOT WANT. I also do not want the sounds in a box car, diner, or any other item Lionel adds a $10 camera in so they can charge locomotive prices for one plastic passenger car. Really annoys me!!!
Cheaper to keep having Christine custom paint previously made sets.

Those are on my list as well along with the two B units. Do you know if they were run like that in a AA prototypical fashion. I can find pictures of both, but not in an AA together.

City of St Louis pool
There was also an armour yellow PRR sleeper for the same pool. I went looking for decals for it and couldn’t find them. The car has been made in HO

Hi Gary... reading the caption, it says "bluetooth is now included".
Its also called out in the standard Legacy features list on pg28.
So it has it...
Hi Bob: "Got it"
Thanks: Gary - Now with my reading glasses on.......
Yea baby... such nice switchers!

Scott... sweet choice...
I think only one UP vista dome has a camera... the others in FT set and 2packs appear to not have cameras.
I would think a guy with your handle would be all about watching the layout from a model vistadome!

Yeah now it does. Thanks for explaining it to me. Now I don’t know what to get. Oh well maybe I will just get the experience car to go behind my 4014.

Those are some sweet looking units! I’m considering getting the Rio Grande version.
Ok now I have a question for you all. I have a 4014 and I would like to get some of the new passenger cars to go behind it. My question is should I get just the experience car or should I get more than just that. I should also mention that I have a limited budget. Have at it.

Anyone please feel free to correct me. I believe 4014 did not have the componentry a to heat passenger cars, therefore it was used for freight use. As far as the experience car, I think you’re referring to excursion, correct? If between those two sets of cars, excursion or Challenger you may want to look at some threads or topics describing the differences between the two. I take it from what I’ve read, that the challengers are done better. If you stay prototypical, freight cars. You can purchase them one or two at a time and that will help your budget.
Lionel has moved the release to this Monday.

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes I am talking about the excursion car sets and the special baggage car. The baggage car is the special car that UP turned into a moving history museum. They took to Ogden and I was able to see it. I already have a good collection of pfe reefers so freight cars for my big boy are done. Know I’ve trying to get some passenger cars to match it and trying to make a decision on which two pack to get. Thanks.
I really like that Lionel is doing the Ford S-2, but I wish they were doing it in it's original scheme (and the scheme it is being restored to); Lehigh New England 611

I don’t have pictures, but I have run 4005 with Challenger set and Excursion theater at the end. Either set will look very nice. If the special baggage car is the one with the print on the side, I am probably a player. It does look good. You have good taste. I hope Lionel is done with Excursion and Challenger. Complete set covers 2/3rds of my outer loop.

Bob,
The individual Southern, auto-train, Amtrak, and N&W in UP paint are camera cars. I think Lionel should offer a choice on camera or no camera. I haven't even tried out the camera track inspection theater car yet.

Thank you all for putting in your word. I will probably get either the special baggage car alone or it and the last excursion car pack. Thanks again and have a good afternoon!

Hi Scott... well you are probably in luck. They do say these are intended to match upcoming sets. If they keep with the passenger train pattern, there would likely be domes in the regular sets (if these trains had them)... and those probably will not have cameras...
I have been reading up on the autotrain. That would be an amazing set!
Brendan,
That reply really made me laugh. Well done.

I had seen that, but it left me scratching my head. Other than locomotives and the occasional boxcars, I really don't recall seeing much Armor Yellow in Roanoke. Certainly no passenger cars.
Just noticed the new sound cars. That flat spot sounds PS-1 boxcar might be a leading contender for the "most irritating sound car" award. 
I see that once again Lionel missed the party with the Shark Fin car. Should have been painted up in Jimmy Buffett "Fins" and with sound playing the song!
~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~
got my copy 2 days ago lots of cool stuff
I may have to spring for the LC+ 2.0 Docside Switcher, $249 MSRP for all the features is a really good price! I see the PRR one in my future! 
I'm eager to see how well all this is supported for that price, I hope to be impressed!
On page 103 they have "POWER & CONTROL". But it only shows transformers and powerhouses. NO Legacy or other control items ??????? Are they not going to be selling Legacy in the future with all of it's controls?
But I will buy the George Bush Funeral train and also the FRISCO #4524 Steam and Tender.

And the kids they are trying to aim it at would all know/care who Jimmy Buffett is, right? (I'm thinking no).

Given the amount of shark attacks in the news recently, maybe Lionel should have come out with a Human Research & Rescue Set...
