okay here is what i have learned.  The engine i purchased is a LCCS engine.  I have  to have a command control and cab set.  The LCS wifi unit will not control the engine.  It will control everything along it however.  So as i see it i have 3 options. I can set up a separate track with a manual transformer speed regulator like my old HO set. I can buy a LCCS set from ebay at exorbitant rates most run $250-$400. Or i can box up the engine I like back in the box put it on a shelf and forget about it until I can find a better priced Lccs system.  This sound about right to yall? Thanks.  Mike
