Reply to "Legacy on larger layout"

The Legacy will be less of a problem than the cab1. Get a Cab1L remote and you only need a Legacy base. Then it should work with the base near the layout in the center.Legacy and Cab1L are 2.4gHz to base(Wi-Fi) so a better signal.

You're kidding right? Cab-1 to base transmission is 27 mHz (really long wave) and will essentially pass through anything (people, walls, obstructions). Legacy's 2.4 gHz signal is MUCH more sensitive to such obstructions. Legacy in my 28x52 layout room with the furnace/water heater/stairs enclosure in the center is a no-go. Regular old TMCC with Cab-1's works flawlessly even with a room full of people. In operating sessions we often have 12 to 14 operators with 8 or 9 Cab-1's working simultaneously.
