@Brian DeFazio posted:Dave, will that work with a cab 1 remote as well?
Yes. It can also be done in the LC APP using the pitch sliders.

Great, thank you!

OK now how fast before you post a video? LOL!

Just a sneaky way to get me to upgrade from my old school , Conventional , power supply

A video? I dont have a locomotive with this feature yet. I do have the B6sb on order, and I'll try using the cab 1 to change whistles on that when it comes in. I dont have a Legacy command system at home and have no idea how to use the legacy controller. The club I'm in runs mostly TMCC cab1 or legacy cab1L controllers and so that's what I'm familiar with. As for a video, I'm sure someone will eventually demonstrate how to control the new features with different set-ups 
Do the new FMs have the moveable louvers on the side of the engine? Powered fans on the roof? All 3 axles flanged? Prior versions had some of these features and would like to know if these are present on the new models.
Thanks!

Hi Joe! Iâm very happy with this locomotive. The louvers on the side do move open and close and the axles are flanged. The fans donât look like they move but I donât have Legacy so they may move.
Received two of these FM's today. Very nicely done. Here are some photos.

Just curious; I wonder what the results would be from a tug of war pulling contest between one of these and a PostWar FM with their dual open frame motors and magne-traction?
Anyone want to bring one to my house for a test, just like many of us did as kids?
The results could be a lot of expensive smoke!
Seriously, I'm sure the new one would drag the postwar version, even on postwar tubular track with a high iron content. Rubber tires have greater adhesion than Magne-traction, at least until they strip off under heavy load! Or, until the motors overload and burn up or Legacy shuts down because the wheels are unable to slip.
@NVisich thank you for the photos. I can't tell whether the middle wheels are flanged or not. How about a couple photos of the underside?
All the wheels are flanged on the Lionel Legacy Trainmasters. At least they are on the three I have.
I picked up one of my Virginians yesterday. Iâm very very happy with it. More to come with that.
Picked up one more FM in demo colors. I missed out on this when it was offered for the CC II club. Keep the photos coming.
All wheels are flanged as shown below.

Wow the Demo colors are nice! I like my pennsy though. Thinking about getting one...anyone have a video?

Still awaiting my TM-3 and Tm-4 to come into Hennings Trains ...
you said they work with a LionChief controller ?
thatll be better than just running straight Conventional with my ZW ...
Anyone going to post a video of the 5 horn variants?

Yea, they run with the Lion Chief Universal Remote.
Turn on the remote then turn on track power. Then press and hold whatever number you want for the locomotive.
The fact that they can run with the universal remote was definitely a big selling point for me.
@Madockawando posted:The fans donât look like they move but I donât have Legacy so they may move.
The fans don't move on the later Legacy FM. They did spin on the earlier versions, that feature was apparently a bit troublesome, so they omitted it. I'm pretty sure they run if the smoke is on, it's been a while since mine has been on the rails.
Here are a couple pics of the Pennsy version. Does anyone know where the cover for the Run/Prg and smoke switches are on this? Unless I can't read, the manual isn't much help in locating it.

Under a hatch near the cab. Look at the 5th post in this thread.

You are not the only one to find Lionel's instructions on the location of the hatch confusing!

Thanks for pointing that post out Marty, I found it. I was kind of hesitant with the trainphone antenna. I had just skimmed over those first few posts way too long ago.
In addition, many of the Lionel switch cover hatches stick, so you might be fooled into thinking you're pulling on the wrong part. 
BE CAREFUL it's easy to scratch the paint prying off one of these with a fingernail!
Curious to know what that gizmo is sticking out above the headlight on the short hood end of the Pennsy version. I found one picture of this (on a Pennsy FM H20-44; note: photo allows downloading and sharing), but have never seen it before on an O gauge model. Looking at other photos, not all Pennsy FM's seemed to have this appendage.

I believe that is part of the train phone antenna.

Does the Pennsy version have the flashing mars light? The catalog lists this feature as "where applicable".
The cover is frequently VERY tight, but it does come off, just work it a little at a time. The volume control and switches are there.

that thing sticking out is part of the trainphone system. Any cabin or loco with trainphones should have it someplace. I don't remember whether the antennas were the senders and that was the receiver or vice-versa, but I think it was one or the other.
Wow, these are really nice. May be worth looking at to convert to 2 rail. I like every version I saw posted here...
Just got this one today. METCA special run.

They were all shipped on Monday and Tuesday by USPS Priority Mail. Should be in your hands by Friday. All sold out, not a single Erie Lackawanna black freight one left.

Can anyone demo the multiple horn selection in Legacy mode? Love to see and hear that!
