Grayson,
Congratulations!! I hope you enjoy it.
On a cautionary note though:I hope you got some kind of receipt for this because if you have a problem you're not going to be abe to get it fixed under warranty. Lionel is pretty strict about that.
( Re-read your post Grayson and I thought you got it from an ebay guy or something. I'm assuming you got if from a Dealer, so you should be in good shape, sorry)

Well fellers, this thing is nice! Even if you just have TMCC 1 Locos!
Even with TMCC 1 locos, you can program them to have there own name and road number. You can also name and number lashups. I will figure out more later.
CHIEF, can a powermaster connect to it without any special cables?
Congratulations, Grayson! Read the manual and ask a lot of questions. You will have it down cold in no time. I think Don Baker has Legacy as well. You two can learn together.

Chief, you have a email.
I need to get a Legacy engine see what it does. I have been thinking about getting one of those UP Heritige engines, even if it is scale.
Since the Powermasters take commands directly from the Cab 1 then you could use it for controlling your powermasters. You do not need a command base to operate them. S far I haven't had the issues Cheif has had but then again I don't have a Legacy engine yet either. Don't know if that has any bearing or not.
Lots of cool features with Legacy. Take the time and read the manual.

GRAYSON,
First CONGA on the new Legacy. Pretty much tells you what to do in the book. The modules are very easy to use with your legacy and TMCC engines, and makes em run better. If you need help just post or email, good luck and happy training.

Congrats on the Legacy system. I've read up about it and it seems like a great system (no doubt that it's true). I do have one question though. On the armrest of the chair/couch in this photo, is that a Cab-1 controller?

Yes, you are correct. I just had it to compare each of them.

Really? In that case, that CW-80 is photoshopped too!

Keep us posted about your experiences with the new system.
Good luck!

Just loaded the memory modules. Back when I manually programed them with TMCC1, the lashup wouldnt have the speed bar. Now that I have loaded them the speed bar shows up on the lashup screen and they will CRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP.
Yawn. More updates tomorrow.
I got mine yesterday. I was at the local Lionel Dealer and was asking about command systems. they told me all about the current ones and then said, oh yeah, there is a new one coming out.
Well we talked about a few other things and in the conversation the fact came up that they had a UP Bigboy there and it was for sale. I thought about it for a bit and bagged it. It comes with the Legacy system.
One word, WOW. That Bigboy is a piece all by its self but add Legacy. Set the momemtum right, add some brake and take off out of the yard, powering out the smoke!
Good luck with it mdainsd! Its a great system, and I sure its even greater with a Legacy Engine. Problem is, I'm not the kind of person to spend $1000 on a single engine.

yeah, low resistance must have been the problem...LOL
I think its time for "Shack to High Ball through the yard" a few more times.
Justin,
You wont find many places selling Legacy for less than $300. I got mine for $300 + $50 shipping (Overnight).

Todd's Train Depot, Wendel, NC 919-365-5006 after 1:00 PM EST. Ask for Miss Edna. Tell her the Mayor of Rolesville told you to call. She had one CP GP 30 [NS SD40-2 sold] [Legacy equiped] $350 + shipping and some Legacy sets.
