Hello all, Im new to G scale but not to the Model railroading hobby. I have a diverse collection of O scale and Ive always wondered what G scale has to offer as well. Im very well familiar with mth dcs command control at least for o and standard gauge (when they did the runs for lionel corp tinplate). Is the dcs system for the railking one gauge units mainly the same or is it different enough to invest in a different control scheme. Im mainly spit balling here to be fair. Thats mainly about it but I also had some questions regarding a now apparently defunct website called LSOL.com (now rebranded to Garden Trains on youtube.) Mainly the big one is what happened to the website and channel that caused the disbanding. I used to watch the reviews online as a kid mainly the usa trains hudson review and usa trains sd70mac review. They seemed very well written and extremely informative. If anyone has a reason or information on what happened to them that would be great to hear.
Another thing I do have some questions on is the closure of phoenix sound systems. Were they just put down by competitions or were there other issues that were underlying. Watching the USA hudson review it seemed like they had some killer sound packages and now that they are defunct no one has those sound files and those boards cant be found basically anywhere. Any insight to this too would be cool to know.
Thanks
Ps it does seem that some one has archived the entirety of the LSOL website for the most part at least but I cant find any news articles regarding its closure or the reasons for said closure as stated previously.
