Hello all. Here is my situation i hope i can get some help with. My track is powered by Lionel 180w powerhouse, I have MTH DCS TIU with Lionel Cab-2 remote, ( serial interface cable, track signal to negative ect) I run both MTH, TMCC and Legacy no problems I recently finally dug out my AA NYC E8 set. Previously i ran this on conventional loop just to test when i got it. I Programed to Cab2 remote set to Legacy control Legacy RS ect. Engine and dummy run fine however when i shut the engine down (crew says good night) the number boards stay lit in both units until i power down the track. Remove 9v battery with same results. Is this normal? Only other Legacy engine I run is the Burlington Zephyr however it doesn’t have lit number boards. just the car lights stay on normal. I know TMCC cab lights stay on the steam engines which is normal for the K Line and Lionel because hardwired to track. are the number boards hardwired on legacy?
