I'm afraid that being a 2015 engine this one pre-dates universal Legacy Bluetooth that started in 2017. Bluetooth is not mentioned in the catalog description and so I would conclude that it was not equipped for it. Sorry!

We ran trains for years without Bluetooth. My advice is don't get locked into using it.

Did you have a negative experience with it? 1st Gen LionChief had a weaker BT signal, but their follow on generation has the new stronger BT signal. I have been running BlueRail and Blunami with Bluetooth and RailPro with Direct Radio control and have found those systems more reliable than track communications like DCS.

No, I use Bluetooth myself. I just don't depend on it. I've run Legacy for years and never had a problem. I also run conventional.
I ran a DCS train at a friend's house. It's okay, but I prefer Legacy.
Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut.

Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut. Please don't. I enjoy the dialog and hearing of other people's experiences. I've learned so much from reading about what others have done. I was truly curious of your experience. Ron
