Does anyone have any experience using a TMCC caboose in a TR (Train) setup? 

 

I just got this yesterday and was playing with it.  When assigned the same ID as the engine all works as expected.

 

When assigned a unique ID and added into a train, because it's not the lead engine I cannot get the sounds to trigger with the engine.  I am running in TMCC mode and was wondering if I need to be in CAB1 mode.  According to the ancient manual for TMCC operation the idea is to assign it as a "front" engine.  Not sure what they mean but regardless when assigning it as a forward facing engine it doesn't do a think unless it's the lead engine.  Then of course the loco doesn't sound the horn and such.

 

Just curious if those who have one, how is it entered into the TR (Train) using Legacy?

Marty,

I purchased a CrewTalk caboose from a fellow Forum member yesterday, and, after fiddling for a while, I was able to lash it up with a TMCC engine in a train that I can access from my CAB-2. Both the engine and the caboose perform together in response to commands to the train via the CAB-2. Cool!

BUT: today, I want to put the caboose in a train with a different TMCC engine--and I cannot remember what I finally did yesterday that worked, and I have been unable to recreate it.

Did you ever figure this out?

Cheers!
