This is all too complex for me - it took him 45 minutes to explain all of this - if you need a manual for understanding your hobby then it seems like WORK to me.. Actually I was trained as a COBOL Programmer and did Assembler Programming but I like SIMPLE. Mike is a technical genius - and I guess I am not. I believe that SIMPLE is the best way to do anything.
Why did MTH and lionel ever get rid of their handheld controls all this WyFi stuff, is nothing but a pain in the ass it takes all the fun out of operating any of these trains. Model railroading in not fun anymore. I'm glad I still have all my handheld controls. For lionel and mth.
MTH and lionel should have never got rid of their handheld controls. Legacy and DCS handheld controls were great. All this Wi-Fi is. Garbage, nobody's gonna wanna try to figure this stuff out Someone starting a model railroad. Isn't going to deal with this? I'm sure glad I have my lionel legacy remotes and my MTH DCS remotes. This wi fi takes all the fun out of operating lionel and m t h trains.
@@dewittkandle5674 I still have both my DCS and Legacy handheld remotes even though I also have Lionel's Base 3 and WIU and TIU. Because I have the WIU Paired with my TIU, there's no need for me to have a WTIU and can run my trains either with my remote or through the app. The same thing works for the Base 3 as well even though the Lionel system is a bit more complicated, I particularly like the way that Base 3 syncs with the Legacy remote in case I don't want to be bothered with the app. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Mike keep coming up with the tinplate!!! I love it!!!
Hey nice to see Mike going around to different train stores and showing em the new WTIU!
@@northpennvalleysteamrailroad Yeah! I think that this is pretty cool!

@@dewittkandle5674 You mean using your smart phone to control trains.???
I love it, I picked up my wtiu today, still run my trains with the original tiu and the app. Need the item number for the serial/usb cord mike?.
Why can't i get a serial/usb adapter at bestbuy? What's so special about mth's adapter which I can't buy?

Can you update or change engine sound files without all the laptops and cords dude?!!!
No
Oh yes you can with the wtiu and the premier app😂. Do your homework
Paid $500 for an MTH Northern. Lasted 1 month and the driver fell off it when I picked it up from the track.
