Reply to "TMCC/Legacy Caboose"

I have the Erie. I'm trying to get it to work with my new Cab2 without any luck. Anyone suggest the correct settings on the Cab2?

This is how I do it. All I know is that it works:

Use the CAB-2 to set up the train (lash-up) with a train link. At this point, you can toggle between the train and the train-linked caboose to trigger the TowerCom and the CrewTalk of the engine and the caboose.

Second, use a CAB-1 to set up the train following the directions on pp. 12-13 of the caboose's owner's manual (https://www.lionelsupport.com/...ents/71-9889-250.pdf). Now--with either the CAB-2 or the CAB-1--when you address the train and trigger TowerCom or CrewTalk, the engine and the caboose will talk to each other.

(Note that you won't want to use a CrewTalk caboose with a Legacy engine because when you trigger TowerCom, the caboose and the engine will talk over each other. Legacy engines (and perhaps, I'm not sure, some later TMCC engines???) don't have the 7-second delay on their TowerCom announcement that allows the caboose to talk first.)
