NewsStand - Lionel demonstrates the NEW Universal Remote at the Spring TCA York Meet
York, PA (April 22, 2015) - Lionel demonstrated an engineering prototype of the new LionChief Plus Universal Remote and we're really excited about this product. This new remote allows you to control up to three LionChief Locos from the single remote. Three buttons on the remote allow you to quickly select the loco you wish to control and allow you to instantly change from one loco to another. Programming the new remote couldn't be easier. Simply have up to three LionChief Plus locos on the track, turn on the Universal Remote and then power up the track. The remote will automatically find them and program its three buttons. Should you wish to change one of the locos for a fourth one, you simply hold the button down for that loco for about 3 seconds and that loco will be deleted from the remote. Then simply power down the layout and place the new loco on the track. When you power up, the remote will find the new loco and assign it to the free button. This proved to be very popular with the crowds at York and we think it will prove to be a good seller. This product is still in development and in it's current form it will not control some of the earlier LionChief locos, but while we are currently calling it the LionChief Plus Universal Remote, it is our hope that this new remote will also be able to control LionChief locos. This product will be introduced in the C2 catalog. Pricing will be determined once development has been completed.
