Re: Legacy Cab 2 Dilema

Rod StewartOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I inadvertently had two Legacy engines with the same ID on the same track the other night. Using a Cab 1 they would both startup and run etc all in perfect harmony. So I tried resetting one to another ID using the Cab 1, then the other, after which nothing would run even with my Cab 2.

The next day I used the Cab 1 to do an engine reset on both along with a new ID on one. After this they both work fine using Cab 1. But the one engine that was programmed into the Cab 2 will not respond to Cab 2 at all now, even tho it uses the same ID as it always did. Do I have to delete it and reload it into Cab 2? Or what?

Sorry to ask what is likely a simple question, but I am not a big Legacy user.

Thanks, Rod

What does "info" say for the settings of the Legacy engine that does not run? I forget, but there are combos that are problematic.

TMCC Engines do not speak or listen to "Legacy" commands, from the Cab-2.

Legacy engines respond to the TMCC commands, from Cab-1's or Cab-2's.

That's the first I've heard that Legacy cab-2 will not run TMCC engines. Is that correct? I have no Legacy engines and no command system, but I do have a couple TMCC engines.. I thought I should skip directly to Legacy cab-2 and be ready in case I buy Legacy equipped engines.

That is 100% incorrect. Legacy runs TMCC engines better than TMCC. Something is amiss with what he has going on. The folks above are working it out with him.

Paul didn’t say you couldn’t use a CAB2, he said you couldn’t use Legacy commands. You just have to set the “info” to TMCC

Thanks for the comments guys. All interesting, but both engines in this case are Legacy, so it should not matter either way. Back to my original question; do I have to delete the engine from the Cab2 and reload it?

Rod,

I would delete and re-enter the engine, just to make sure everything works correctly.
