Reply to "TMCC and Legacy engine operating as a TR?"

Ted,

chuck is 100% correct. First make sure the Legacy engine is in TMCC mode, so it runs with 32 speed steps. Set the momentum to low. Leave the Odyssey switch on. (You only turn off Odyssey if your consist, lash-up, whatever has an engine in it without Odyssey.) You don't need to set stall because stall was really designed for loco's with AC Pul-mor motors.

Next, put both engines on the track and connect them or put them close together. Set up the lash-up as per the Legacy instructions. The engines should run at close to the same speed. One will always run alittle faster than the other only becau of the differences inherent in the gearing and motor. It shouldn't be a dramatic difference but there will be a difference.

I had a TMCC BNSF Dash-9 (about 9 years old) and a Legacy UP SD70ace Running on my small layout for weeks with no problem. The Legacy loco was in the lead. Because I like the sound better. Oh yea, the TMCC engine didn't have Odyssey.

See the video below.
