Lionel Legacy & DCC HO Engines
Posted by Mark E. Smith on Saturday, November 28, 2009 8:06 PM

Hi folks,
I have a O scale Lionel Legacy setup that we bring out every Christmas. Every year my son an I come up with a new layout and as he gets older, the layouts get larger. So, I'm considering moving down to HO scale so we can build "larger" (more complex layouts) in the same space.

I'm wondering if we could use the Lionel Legacy controller to control DCC HO engines or is this completely incompatable due to the AC operating mode of O scale vs DC in HO?

If it's completely incompatable, what OH DCC controllers might you folks suggest we look into as being "on par" with the Lionel Controller? (We currently have 3 engines and a layout space of 6' x 22'  if that matters for HO track length)

Thank you

Mark
