Connecting Lionel's Legacy system to fastrack With Cw80 transformer.
Posted by TehNicksta on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 2:41 PM

I just bought the Legacy command set and i got the instructional DVD and watched it beginning to end, but it only shows how to hook up the command base to 0-27 track via a lockon. How do you hook it up to fastrack? im using a CW-80 transformer for now until i get a ZW in the future, do i need to connect the base and transformer at all or just run the wire from the base straight to the track?? Im new to the whole command control scene, so any help would be much appreciated :).

Assuming it's like my TMCC system (one wire) you can either connect it to the U terminal (black one to outer rail) of the transformer or right to the outer rail.  Either will work as long as it's the outside rail and not the inner rail.

I connect my Legacy base to the transformer U terminal, that gets it to the outer rail just fine.
