Legacy Multiple handset question

The remote will see the base and recognize what is stored in the base. You are good to go. The only thing stored in the remote is the recording feature if you use that?

Ok, So by that response all remotes are automatically updated/synced when connected to the command base?

1) If I go over a friends housewith a cab2 and connect to his base. I will see his  

    programmed devices on my cab2?

2) I only need to back up the base with the utility to restore my engines etc?

3) Is there anything in the remote that needs backup? unique engine #'s assigned to

    Legacy address? The recordings you mentioned?

1. Yes, you will see his devices only unless you load your engines on his base.

2. No need to backup your base but you can use the Legacy utiliy under version 1.51 to create a custom module that has your engines on it if you want to load them into your friend's layout. You could create a backup module and load you whole system onto your friend's layout but the configuration would be for your layout and not his.

3. You only need t backup your bse either prior to doing a software upgrade or if you say had your friend over running his engines that he loaded onto your base and after he left you want to restore your base with your engine roster only. As far as I know the recordings are only stored in the remote and therefore cannot be backed up.

Lately when running trains for the Grandkids they want all four engines/trains running.  Then there's command controlled accessories such as the Backshop and Culvert Loader set.

I find myself using two Cab 2's and my Cab 1 in a single operating session (I need three hands).  It can get rather confusing, but it is fun.  Once I got all four engine bells tolling.  All the adults left the train room.
