Thanks again GRJ. I also use the PowerHouse 180W power supply (18v output) so that should be fine, right?
So I just bought a lightly used Lionel (6-28028) Allegheny Virginian 2-6-6-6 with TMCC. It is supposed to run on 054s so I hope I’m good there.
Any advice for running this particular unit especially using the Legacy Control or about the engine itself?

The PH180 is perfect, great circuit breaker and a constant 18 volts. It's so good I use a bunch of them!

The Allegheny is a nice piece, I actually have that exact one. I embellished mine with ERR cruise and a Super-Chuffer II. I can't directly comment on O54 running, I have O72 and larger curves. It's a bog-standard TMCC locomotive, so it'll run just like any other TMCC locomotive using the Legacy system. As I mentioned, it doesn't have cruise control stock, so you'll find it's speed varies with grades, curves, and loading.
