I am still rather a novice when it comes to electric trains, but I am contemplating adding a Lionel Conrail Lionmaster set to my collection. What exactly sets the Conrail Lionmaster Diesel set apart from other Lionel Legacy sets?

Lionmaster engines are selectively compressed to allow them to run on smaller curves. Lionel did an exceptional job with this compression ie: they're "compressed" but they maintain the "right" scale-look. I think all Lionmaster engines are TMCC.
As for the Legacy, that is a newer command control system with additional features and performance.

Some LMs are Legacy. What's most important about them is they are high detail that will run on O-31. The best of both worlds if you have a layout with smaller radius turns.
WOW what a list. I didn't realize these were made into the Legacy era. Seems my personal favorite didn't make your list... In some ways, I like this even better than my scale Lionel A.

You're right!. Somehow my cut & paste missed that one.
