Reply to "TMCC vs Legacy - how does it feel to go from Legacy back to TMCC?"

I have a lot of stuff that runs both Legacy and TMCC.  I'd be lying if I said that I prefer most Legacy engine sounds over the TMCC ones, but that doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the TMCC models.  I also do a lot of upgrades to TMCC and PS/3, I like them all!

I have many TMCC engines, all upgraded with cruise and 4 chuffs/rev.  I have no plans to replace them with Legacy.



I will say that my Legacy engines are better runners, especially at low speed which is how I run.  But for the money TMCC is a great deal.

All of that (and the rest of each of your replies) is reassuring. I am under the impression that the Odysey I speed controllers weren't perfect and depending on the engine may need an ERR upgrade to reach the level of slow speed control I am hoping for.



I have the scale PRR T1 Duplex that is getting that treatment.  It's never been made in Legacy, so I got the TMCC version.  I'll add the ERR Cruise Commander M, Chuff-Generator, and the Super-Chuffer.  I am also going to replace the existing Railsounds in the tender with all the RailSounds 6 stuff from the Legacy LionMaster T1 Duplex for better sounds.  It won't be a Legacy model, but it'll run like one and sound like one, close enough!

I was thinking about doing something similar to what you mentioned (closer to this OGR thread from a few years ago) - put in ERR for better speed control but keep the original RS. Let us know how it goes! I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a TMCC N&W Class A and then installing one of the RS boards from the new 2-8-8-2's or the Lionmaster Class A!
