Ok, so I got the TMCC Allegheny (6-28028) unboxed and on the track and of course I have some questions. But first - what a beautiful locomotive! The detail is amazing. As is the weight! What a monster, both the locomotive and the tender!
Questions…
I'm using my 990 Legacy system so when setting up to control the engine should I set it on Cab 1 or TMCC? My other units are all Legacy diesels so this TMCC Steamer is a much different animal.
When running with it set to Cab 1 I do not have any indication what speed step it is at? Should there be an indication?
Speaking of speed, I do SERIOUSLY miss the Legacy Odyssey speed control - anything I can do to add or improve the variability?
I’ve set the stall per the instructions but still the (dim?) headlight will keep blinking. Any secret to this?
And even with the stall set (IF I did set it right?) the locomotive does not start out at a smooth, slow crawl - is this because it’s not a Legacy?
Are the headlight/tender reverse lights supposed to be dim, almost yellow? I do have 18.1+ volts to the track but they still seem really dim?
Are the number boards supposed to be illuminated? These are not
I’m sure I may have more but these are the ones that I am most curious about after my first test runs today
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
