Reply to "ZW-L and Legacy PowerMaster or TPC 300"

I too would like a definitive answer - I too assumed that the ZW-L would have the macros, but have been suggestively corrected. As you can see above, the ZW-L documentation is lacking on the subject and searching on the forum, it seems to be that the ZW-L does not have them, and those that claim the ZW-L does simply reiterate that they power their MTH trains successfully and don't know they are missing out on the macros being discussed.

If you look at the section in the ZW-L manual, where it shows the legacy remote, it shows that for example you can fire the electro coupler on Legacy and "selected conventional locomotives", but doesn't elaborate on that. I don't know why they would give that functionality to legacy powermasters and not to the ZW-L, but then again, maybe some bright boy figured you would buy a ZW-L for almost 900 bucks, then spend hundreds more to use a Powermaster with it to gain those functions, wouldn't surprise me (at that point, might as well buy a ZW and some powermasters).
