I currently use one Lionel Universal Remote to control 3 engines.
If I wanted to use an additional Lionel Universal remote to control three other engines on the same layout, would there be any interference?

I'm guessing yes, but I haven't actually tried it.
Sam:
In addition to asking here, maybe also try asking Lionel (email): TalkToUs@lionel.com to see what they say.
And: From the instruction manual, page 14:
Use of multiple Universal Remotes:
You can use as many Universal Remotes as you choose on any one layout. You will be able to connect any three LionChief / LionChief Plus locomotives using the instructions above. Any time you power up the Universal Remote (after connecting to 3 specific locomotives) it will automatically connect to those three locomotives and you’re ready to run trains.
Maybe worth a try...

I have the Universal Remote also. The manual says you can use as many as you like (see pg 13). I will caution that trying to juggle multiple remotes can be a bit of a nuisance. 
You can easily use multiple remotes as long as you do not have duplicate model engines on the track at the same time. As an alternate to multiple universal remotes, you could combine three engines on a universal remote and one or more additional engines equipped with Bluetooth on one smart phone for each Bluetooth engine. I don't think it would be practical for one person to juggle smart phones since the app is a little clunky, so you need an engineer for each engine controlled by Bluetooth. Start telling your friends not to throw away their old smartphones!
It looks like you can use multiple remotes. 
Thanks to all.
