The layout is full TMCC/Legacy.
How hard it is to use Legacy TMCC? Translation: How hard is it for an old guy to figure it out?

Not at all. A couple wires and you are done.
Mine is complex because I am running an older Cab-1/command base within the Legacy system (so I can have variable voltage to run older non TMCC engines) as well as TPC controllers to get 200 steps of voltage. I also have amp meters and circuit breakers in line too (I am running 810 watts at 20A breakers--I can weld with the power it produces!!).
All of this will be unnecessary in about 3-4 months as Lionel is about to introduce a module that plugs into Legacy that will allow fine voltage steps to run older non TMCC trains.
Just get a Legacy set and the module for variable voltage and you should be good to go. It is actually pretty cool.

Once had a 22 x ll 072 layout and all tmcc. O gauge my best friend prolly has 6 figures of trains on wall mth and Lionel mostly Lionel.
We gonna add a couple tables to his 28 x 15 layout..im in charge of all the scratch building

As promised...sorry for the poor quality--lighting not the best and using an iPad...
