Father Christmas posted:ROYBOY - thanks for your reply, however, I don't know what you mean " . . . settings for zero, 30% and 100% . . ."
What advantage does that offer to running the train??
AUX1-9 = 100% track power
AUX1-8 = 30% track power
AUX1-0 = track power off
If you have an MTH proto one with a BCR in it, you can hit AUX1-9 and instantly get full power to charge the BCR for one minute. Then hit AUX1-8 for 30% track power. Then hit DIR and off the train goes at a reasonable speed.
Certain TMCC locos do not always/consistently boot up properly if the track voltage is raised slowly with a chopped wave. ERR Cruise Commander-M is one of them, but I have seen Legacy locos do that also on occasion. Hitting AUX1-9 gives 100% track voltage instantly and boots them up properly.
Hitting either F or R will send the requisite short whistle and bell signals to the track to open either the front or rear coupler on MTH Proto 2 or Proto 3 locos.
As John says, the Legacy Power Master is supposed to contain all the features of the TPC units, but I have never used one as my TPC units are working fine for me.
