Title: Re: Copatibility between Lionel and MTH

Almost all modern, post 1946, three rail O gauge trains are compatible.A few older trains from the late 1940s and early 1950s may
have coupler problems but thoat can be fixed. The different systems of locomotive control can also be compatible. If they are being
controlled with a traditional transformer there is no problem.

You probably have the Legacy and the DCS systems linked. As long as they are both O Scale and you have the control systems linked, you can use them both.

Yes they will work together all o scale trains can work on the same track and work together. Only things won't work together are the mth dcs and lionel legacy system together.

Please explain what you mean by this. I have both the Legacy System and DCS ad run both on the same track at the same time.

Hi,
I have an Alaska Lionel GP-35 6-38978 #2501 locomotive and I would like to know if it is compatible with a Dummy MTH Alaska GP-38 #2008. Will they couple correctly?
