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

Thank you John! I will definitely try it with it configured as TMCC vs CAB-1.

Do you sell any of those parts upgrades or should I source them from a vendor?

I had more time to spend getting acquainted with the unit this morning. I found out that I was causing the flashing headlight because when I would select the Allegheny on my Cab2 I would hit ‘set’ like I usually do for my Legacy diesels. Apparently this was telling the system I was wanting to set the stall again. My bad. I also lubed and greased it as recommended in the manual and let it run solo for a while before attaching 7 coal hoppers for more easy run/break in time given the drivers and tender wheels all looked like they were new.

I have noticed that it has seemed to have settled down a bit in the speed variations oin curves and on slight grades the longer it runs which seems to be what I’ve read about these particulate motored locomotives? Or is just my hopeful imagination? Regardless I’m going to get and install that CC-M unit for sure. I really want better low speed performance!

Thanks again.
