I know that many are trying to decide what to do with the Base3 coming out, and the Cab2 and Base1L being discontinued. I stopped at Sidetrack Hobbies in Leonardtown, MD last Friday for the 1st time and they had a couple Base1L sets on the shelf for anyone interested and looking.

Not affiliated, 1st time in the store, but figured this might help someone seeking a backup or to get into command for the 1st time with a remote.

I did not see any Base2s, but I was shopping tinplate and wasn't looking for command items. Just happened to notice.

EDIT: Mike's Trains, Prince Frederick, has 2 990 Legacy bases and remotes in stock, new in box as well.

I bought one from Mike’s a few weeks ago. Super nice guy, shipped it that day up to me in Western MD.

One small warning though, the one I got was on the v1.0 legacy software. That usually means it’s about as old as it can get, and has to go back to Lionel service to get updated to v1.3+.

Lionel handled mine free of charge though. Turn around was just 1 week, door to door!

I hope they still have one for sale. Thanks for the information.
