Barry,

I haven't tried this yet.... Does the DCS App support the "TRAINLINK" function for Legacy lash-ups? That's how Lionel's terrific StationSounds cars are controlled on the CAB-2. They're added to the locomotive lash-up, and then the CAB-2 toggles between controlling the locomotive speed/features and the StationSounds dining car announcements, volume, etc... by using the TRAINLINK button.

So is there a TRAINLINK "button" on the DCS App? Sorry for the basic question... I just haven't gotten to the point where I'm controlling lash-ups with the DCS App yet -- just using either the DCS remote hand-held (for MTH lash-ups) or the Legacy CAB-2 (for Lionel lash-ups) right now. I did look thru the DCS WiFi Companion rather quickly, but I didn't see the TRAINLINK function mentioned. If it's there, I missed it. Thanks!!!
