Tony Cook (editor of Model Railroad News and HO Collector) has reviewed two Lionel HO sets in the December 2020 issue of Model Railroad News and discusses them in the podcast with Lionel Strang (A Modeler's Life). Largely positive about the pricing with DCC and the ease of use of both LionChief (Bluetooth app) and the magnetic locking track Lionel has "invented." Good PR for model railroading, and Lionel in specific.
