I have a cab1 but I am planning to get a legacy command base if I write my program for the cab1 will it be transferable to legacy?

Legacy engines can understand both Legacy and TMCC commands and we run several Legacy engines with our TMCC command base, but we can't use all Legacy features (like quilling horn). TMCC engines, on the other hand, cannot be operated from a Legacy command base. TMCC command bases take commands from the Cab-1 via RF or from the RS-232 port on the base. Legacy command bases take commands from the Cab-2 controller also via RF but the signals are not comparable. They also take wired commands but from a different LCS data link, not RS-232. If you want to talk RS-232 to a Legacy command base you need a serial board LCS SER-2, but the commands must be in Legacy format, not TMCC format. Hope that this helps.
