Good morning all, my friend just brought over his NKP Berkshire to try on my legacy system.  His  Locomotive does not recognize the Legacy system. By the way same problem at his house with his brand new Legacy 990 system.

The locomotive runs fine in conventional mode but just doesn't recognize that the Legacy system exists.

Any ideas on things to check before sending the Loco to Concord for repair?

Thank you,

Aflyer

A product number of the engine might help.

S gauge Legacy engines do not have Bluetooth. They do have DCC. If you know someone with a DCC system try it on their layout. if DCC works then all the boards should be good and it is most likely the antenna. When you say Legacy does not work I assume you mean it does not even see the signal, so when put on the track it takes off at full speed conventional even with the Legacy wire connected to the track and the 990 base powered on.
