- The ERR R4LC board that is included with the kit, does not put out a 9 bit serial data. Only 8 like John and GGG were saying.
- The Legacy R.S. Board in this case the 5.5 version did see the 8 bit and will operate in TMCC mode with no quilling whistle feature.
- I put a Lionel R4LC board a true 9 bit board from the E6 Atlantic on the ERR cruise commander. I did get lighting and coupler control but no motor control in LEGACY Control Mode. But I did get Legacy RailSound control (Quilling Whistle)
- Now, If you go into the #900 LEGACY Cab-2 Controller and set the engine to TMCC control and then set the Sounds to LEGACY. You will be able to control the motor function with the Lionel 9 bit R4LC and also be able to control the LEGACY Sound features such as the Quilling Whistle/Horn.
- Have not tested this with the CAB1-L. I don't have one. I don't know if it is possible due to the basicness of the controller system.
Thanks for doing this. Still to be proven is if this will work equally well with an older R2LC. GGG indicated he had problems when he tried to do this. Still it opens new doors for anyone doing new TMCC installs with ERR stuff. We now have more options for Railsounds.
