Agenda pdf.

Welcome to the Legacy Users Group meeting.  What an exciting time for Legacy.  With the advent of the Bluetooth capabilities this meeting will be an interesting mix of new and existing technology!  I suspect that Bluetooth will be the main subject matter due to the integration into Legacy engines!

As always we ask that you post any questions in this thread that you want answered by Jon Zahornacky, Rudy Trubitt, Dave Olson, and Dean Brasseur.  All questions should be directly related to Legacy System's operation, LCS, and I will include questions on Bluetooth control as it pertains to Legacy engines.  Production related questions such as "when will you make XYZ in Legacy?" should be referred to the Lionel booth or Lionel's website "Talk to Us".  Please for the best possible answers make your question clear and to the point.  It makes it much easier for them to give the best answer.  I don't mind following up if need be but again please try your best to be clear in your questions.  We all benefit from the answers!  I'll continue to update this post as the agenda becomes available and post it before the last week.  Questions can be submitted up until October 9th to give Lionel time to give us the best answer!

Dave Olson Lionel's Director of Engineering and Dean Brasseur Lionel's Director of Customer Service have already said they'll be attending and we've asked Dave to possibly smuggle in some items to show us!  I'm looking forward to see what Dave and the Lionel team are working on.  Dean will be able to answer questions from a Customer Service perspective!

We once again will support the LCS partners and will have any updates and information on hand.

I will also have a question for the group as well. 

If you would like to get your Legacy system updated to the latest and greatest we'll have a couple of options. Bring your system (Cab2 and Base) and we can update it. Bring 2 black or writable GRJ modules and we'll walk you through the procedure to make them and test them before you leave. The current versions are 1.6 for the Legacy base and 1.61 for CAB2.  If the LC+ Universal Remote Update is available by the time of the meeting we will upgrade those as well!

The Legacy Users group would like to thank in advance Jon, Rudy, Dave, and Dean as well as the entire Lionel Team for their continued support of our efforts to pass along information pertaining to all thing Legacy.  We would also like to thank the EDTCA for providing the room for our meeting.  Most of all we would like to thank all of you for sharing your experiences and questions.

Your host for the Legacy Users Group is Marty Eibeck (MartyE)

We are planning to record the event once again for those who cannot attend. Thanks to Dave Slie for providing this!

As always, I am sure some of the questions asked here could be answered by some of our forum members but I ask they refrain from doing so.  I promote that we'll send the questions to JonZ and Lionel to answer and it's what i do.

So without further notice fell free to post your questions.
