Reply to "Running a TMCC Allegheny Virginian Locomotive with my Legacy 990 Control System"

Just to verify, I can run a Lionel Steam Loco that is TMCC controlled with my 990 Legacy system without any modifications right? I’ve never owned a TMCC unit, having jumped back into the hobby early last year with Legacy only and now have five Legacy diesels.

I love every one and now I want to try the steam genre for something different.  But - will I be disappointed with the TMCC vs. Legacy Engine? I have all 060 curves and 072 switches so I think it should run ok since I’m considering something like a 2-8-4 or even a maybe 2-6-6-4 etc - but not a Big Boy (yet)!

You can run anything that the old CAB1 will run with the Legacy system with one exception.  The old original TMCC PowerMaster track controller only works with a CAB1.  There is a work-around for that.

FWIW, forget about the scale Big Boy on O60 curves, I can tell you for sure the Vision Line BB or the MTH scale BB will NOT make it around.  The locomotive makes the turn, the centipede tender hops off the rails.
