The Lionel Legacy Users Group is not associated with Lionel Trains in any way other than sharing the enjoyment and trading of information related to operating the Lionel Legacy System!

 

 

It's that time again folks.  I've lost count how many times we did this but I think it 14 now. 

 

Start thinking about the questions you would like JonZ and the Lionel Technical Team to answer about Legacy, LCS, and what the future holds!  Please we try to avoid question such as when will you make XYZ engine in Legacy.  These are production questions and should be directed towards the folks at the booth.  Although I have a pretty good feeling one of those production folks will drop by.  Please try to make the questions as clear and to the point so that Jon and Lionel can give the best answer. I'd like to submit the questions by October 8th. 

 

We try to wrap up all the Q&A as well as some guest speakers by 8:45 so everyone can get to the meet.  I am always available afterwards to demo, help make system modules, or answer questions.  Thanks to our friends at Lionel, this year we will have many of the LCS components, even some not released or announced yet, on hand so that you can see them operate!  Also this fall we will have iCab to show.  While we may not have time during the breakfast to go through it completely, those interested can stay after and get a chance to check it out closer. 

 

  There could be a large in flux of newbies so be patient and hopefully we can get everything covered.  Please just give us a heads up here so we can get an estimate of the count.

 

We'll start to add information to this post as it becomes available and will publish the list of question so they can be reviewed.  The question will be sent to Jon and Rudy for a first hand answer.  We will make every attempt to video the proceedings for those unable to attend.

 

 

As in the past Breakfast is provided by Alexander's at a nominal charge and each person is responsible for their meal and tip.

 

 

  We would like to thank in advance Alexander's, Paula, and her staff.  Lionel for providing us with a great command system but especially Jon Zahornacky Lionel CTO, Rudy Tributt Lionel Sound Specialist, Mike Reagan Lionel production, Phil Hull Customer Service as well as the many Lionel employess who contribute!

 

And finally we'd like to thank you the user for coming and sharing your Legacy Experiences.

 

 

 

The Legacy Users Group Organizers are Will Allen, Chris Bojanower, and Martin Eibeck.

Hi Marty,

 

Unfortunately, I will be flying back from California during the meeting.

 

Do you think that we could get the entire meeting on video again?

 

Either way, thank you in advance for all you and the Lionel Team do, especially Mike Reagan who is now in Production?

 

Wife and I are still shooting for Saturday though!

I am planning at minimum to GoPro Video the proceedings.  Might not be the best but should be sufficient.

I'm coming and bringing Bill, aka Mountain482.  I'll bring my GoPro cameras and I'm sure Bill can bring his too.  We could have a 4 camera shoot!

I assume we post our questions here. So here are my questions for the LUG meeting with Lionel:

 

1)      Several months ago Jon stated they were looking at a way to tell the LCS app a switch's position after the switch was activated by its non-derailing function.  Jon stated it was being developed for Fastrack switches and Atlas non-derail modules.  Two parts to this question.

 

   A. What is the status of this effort?

 

   B. What about the DZ-2500 switch machine with the DZ-1008 relay module? Will the LCS app be able to tell the switch position from the DZ-1008 relay?

 

2)      Below is a diagram of my current pre-LCS setup followed by my proposed LCS setup.  Currently the MANCO Signal Booster is able to drive my many TPCs, ASCs, etc.  My question is:

 

    A. In earlier posts by Lionel, it sounded like the SER2 would be able to drive many TPCs/ASCs.  Any idea on how many devices the SER2 will drive?  Specifically, will the SER2 be able to drive my multiple TPCs (6), ASCs (4), AVCs (2), and maybe a BPC?

 

    B. If the SER2 cannot drive all these, can I use my MANCO Signal Booster in the circuit after the SER2 to boost the signal to drive more devices?

Marty, a question for jon z.
Ask about the plug n play accsesories.
1) where does the accsory get its power from?
2) how are the speeds of the accsesories controled?
The non tmcc/ legacy ones such as the ice station and log loader come to mind as to how fast they operate.
3) if not command equipt. What cable is needed to hook them up to the new asc2's

legacy cab-2

 

will we ever be able to access more than 2 engine id #'s on cab-2 at same time?

when switching from say id #2 and id # 45 would sure be nice if I were running 6 legacy engines to be able to keep pushing engine button to access each one of the 6 engines running instead of having to scroll or search for each of the other 4 engines id #'s.

 

and then have to re-enter a previous engine id# to control it gets old really quick and yes I do run 5 legacy engines at same time 3 of which are on a separate loop of track.

 

thank you
