Beyond that, I think it's neat that with a Legacy Engine or Train, the buttons for CrewTalk, TowerCom, AUX1, and the triangle icon ("Restricted Speed" TowerCom) are replaced with buttons for Hold, Green, Slow, and Stop. Two questions, though, about the buttons for a NON-Legacy Engine or Train:
1) What can AUX1 be used for?
2) The triangle icon for "Restricted Speed" TowerCom is not lighted as a functioning button. Is there any reason why it should not be operative?
I also notice that when you address a Legacy Train, a light-orange vertical bar appears toward the right end of the slider screen. Does this bar have any purpose other than to indicate that you're addressing a Train as opposed to an Engine?
Cheers!

Keith, I'm out of the office, can you please re-cap the yard mode issue?
For TMCC engines, the dialog buttons present in legacy are replaced by the traditional commands present on Lionel CAB remotes. The engineer and tower keys are used with or without a leading AUX1 key press to trigger a variety of different dialogs. Rather than recapping the dialog usage here, I'll refer you to this video:
The restricted speed button is disabled because TMCC engines can't play that dialog scene--it wasn't built into that earlier generation of product.
Rudy, thank you for the clarifications. Also, I'll watch the Legacy dialog video.
The Yard mode issue involves the direction of the locomotive varying based on the last direction of the loco before entering Yard mode. In my experience, this has been fixed when an Engine is being addressed, but not when a Train is being addressed.
One other thing: When you address a Legacy Train, a light-orange vertical bar appears toward the right end of the slider screen. Does this bar have any purpose other than to indicate that you're addressing a Train as opposed to an Engine?
