I received my new Legacy 990 a day or two ago and after familiarizing myself with it I hooked everything up and started to run my lone Legacy engine with it. I'm operating the fantasy Virginian SD70-ACE and after putting it through its paces with this system I know I am in deep trouble. I've been using TMCC for about 15 years and it was great but the LCS is light years beyond it. This system is remarkable for its incredible flexibility. It is a little complex at first but once you get the hang of it, it is very difficult to put down. I foolishly thought my train acquisitions had pretty much come to an end and that my wallet was finally going to have a good rest. Wrong. One Legacy engine ain't gonna cut it. I see Legacy Steam Locomotive smoke on the horizon. HELP!!!

There is no cure for this illness, however the good news is it's not fatal.
I GOT A FEVER AND THE PRESCRIPTION IS MORE LEGACY!!!
Go forth and gather all the Legacy locomotives you can!!
It's so much easier to give in than to waste energy and time trying to stop.

You'll start looking at your TMCC engines a little differently now. I can hear them now "Do you think he'll really sell us...did you see that look in his eye?"
I am sorry you have been afflicted with the uncurable and infectious diseases that we all hit with.
Buy the new H7.... it has a huge WOW factor!

I stay out of that kind of trouble!!!!!
I get into trouble buying too many conventional locos!!!!
AMCDave -
Heh-heh...and it gets worse...as you know, all those beautiful conventional steamers
that you have been showing us can be converted to ERR Cruise Commanders, easily and not TOO expensively (patience, grasshopper, patience), and they can then live in the same world as your no-doubt upcoming Legacy NYC L2a Mohawk (for example) and his buddies.
I see an upgraded 3rd Rail PRR 6-4-4-6 Duplex in your future. I have one of those too (I wish that I had gotten the Lionel, but the timing was bad) - looking forward to it...
My first legacy engine was the Vision Line Hudson, VL Bigboy on the way, I do have 1 TMCC and 5 conventional, I really like the legacy features
