Gentlemen, I  have a question. Is a PM-1 suppose to be able to control a command control or legacy engine. I bought one these 20 years ago  for my son and bought a gg1 at the time and never could get it to work as a command control engine always ran  in conventional mode. Never much cared till he   bought one these new legacy control engines now i would like to try to run this engine in command control. I was wondering if the pm-1 is deffective or we just don't know what we are doing. Any information would be greatly appreciated. He runs his trains off zw and kw transformers.  thanks for your time.

A Powermaster isn't any good without a Cab1 to control it. And then it will only control conventional or command controlled trains in conventional mode. To take advantage of command controlled trains added features you need to have either a Cab1/TMCC base or a Cab2/Legacy base. If you add the Cab1/TMCC base to your Pm-1 you'll be able to control your trains in command and conventional mode with the cab1 remote. To access ALL the features in a Legacy equipped engine you'll need a Cab2/Legacy base to run command control only. To use your Pm-1 with Legacy you would need a Powermaster Bridge also. This would add conventional engine control to your cab2.
