I usually order one legacy engine a year, sometimes two. Last year I ordered the Great Northern SD45, "Hustle Muscle" and picked it up last week. Its a nice engine, I really like it and posted a few pictures on another thread on the SD45. A few posters noted that the Orange Module was not included and asked for help. So 1) buyers should not have to guess what is going on! 2) a brochure or insert on how to load the info manually should have been included. Look we have been trained for years to expect the Orange Module, so just not including it with no note makes the initial reaction to make one think that their was a mistake in the packaging. Maybe the brochure includes a link to the video on how to do it. Eric's Trains (Eric Siegel) has a great video on how to do a legacy upgrade, using the Legacy System Utility, so I found that very helpful and motivated me to try it.
On a separate issue, which I posted about on the SD45 thread, it did not run in conventional using my CW 80 transformer but it did run in conventional using my Lionel ZW C. It did run in Legacy on both. This is the first time I have had a Legacy engine that did not run in conventional using the CW 80. I know there is an issue with running MTH engines on the CW 80, so I had a clue that this was probably a problem with the transformer and not the engine. Again, a heads up from Lionel would be nice on this potential issue.
