Kevin, I was also a bit perturbed when I bought the Lionel Halloween Mikado with bluetooth. My BetterHalf had bought an Amazon Kindle for me because I was under the "assumption", I know spell assume,that it would work with it. To my surprise the Kindle is Android based however only to the point that it works with Amazon crap only. I did find some work arounds that would make it compatible to all Android system features but the risk of completely trashing it didn't sound appealing. I did find a cheap RCA tablet at WallyWorld, think it was only about $50 that works quite well and it will handle both the Lionel and MTH apps. I am a bit on the "thrifty" side, I couldn't see dropping well over $100 just to operate my trains.
Nice layout !

Kev,
Very good review. Looks like a good runner, a Kids set? Looks like an adult set to me. I was able to find a "Fred" device for one of my well cars from MTH, works well. All the cars look pretty good to me, and really enjoy the layout.
Good Job!
