Thinking about it I suppose it would be the latter, in which case it seems to follow running the engine in conventional transformer-only control would have no impact on them.
I have noticed however that Legacy EFX settings don’t seem to be stored after an engine is shut down. I find I have to ramp them up again the next time the engine is operated. Not sure why that would be different from smoke settings.
The TMCC smoke volume settings are clearly stored in the locomotive as the command system has no capability like that. They're actually stored in the regulator module on the uP. The early Legacy uses the same regulator design and I'm sure stores the settings there as well.
The Legacy system stores a copy of the last settings and operates off that, but clearly it can't truly know what the locomotive is set to as TMCC/Legacy is a one-way conversation from the command base to the locomotive.
shawn posted:By the way, John. All of the Impellers were spinning backwards. But, found it didn't affect smoke output that much. At least anything noticeable. But, did do the change,
Smoke will come out either way, and sometimes it's hard to tell if there's a change.
