Joe Fermani posted:Matt is incorrect. You can control your conventional engines with the Cab1 remote or Legacy remote. Since your engine is conventional, you would need either the TMCC PowerMaster or the Legacy PowerMaster. The PowerMaster allows you to control your transformer via the remote (which is what you need since your engine is conventional). A powermaster, allows you to vary the track voltage, press the direction button, whistle and bell. If you plan to get Legacy engines in the future, I would get the Full Legacy 990 set and a Legacy Power Master(6-37146). You will then need a power master cable (6-12893) to connect you power master to you existing TW transformer. To control switches with the the remote, you'll need an sc-2 (6-22980). The sc-2 can remote control up to 6 switches. Instead of connecting the switches to the manual switch controllers, you would connect the switches to the sc-2 and control them via the remote.
When you get a legacy or tmcc engine, the remote will work with engine without the need to get anything else.
Thank you for correcting me, Joe! I have removed my incorrect statements.
