Lionel Cab3 App now available. | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I have been running 3 Legacy engines with the new App on an iPhone 14 Pro. So far I have been very happy with it. It is very intuitive and easy to use. It is great to be able to select multiple locomotives in Bluetooth mode.

The only issues I have run into is the whistle sticks on some times. Usually when I change locos and then press the whistle button on the new locomotive. The other issue is if I switch to another app and come back to the Cab3 app the throttle settings all go back to 0. The engines don’t stop but the slider is back at 0 for all engines. Touching the slider causes the selected loco to stop.

Nicely done @Dave Olson and your dev team. I love forward to running with the Base3.

I just realized the voice help menu exists in the CAB3 app with an expanded list of voice commands.

It appears that the Lionel Cab3 app for both Android (per Dave Olson), and Apple devices is available in the respective stores. As of now, the functionality is strictly Bluetooth, but the app is up and available for download. I guess I got my iPad mini just in time.
Here is a very useful webpage. It would be wise to take a look at it and keep it handy while playing.
Lionel Power and Control.
Let the games begin.

Can’t find the App in the Apple Store

Tried out the new Cab3 app tonight. Did a shakedown run with 3 locos.

A LC+2.0 Doodlebug

Legacy Bluetooth SW-1200

LC/BT RS3 (recent upgrade)

Took a few minutes to adjust to the Cab 3 from the LC app but all 3 engines loaded and I was able to switch between them easily.

Note that I was running 3 generations of boards and all ran well.

Cool stuff.....
