Lionel LEGACY Control System and TMCC Dual set-up
Some operators may wish to continue using their TMCC CAB-1 remotes along with their
CAB-2 to control Power-Masters and all other Lionel products, even "Lionel LEGACY Control
System Equipped" Engines.
Power-Master Bridge
A separate component called the #994 Power-Master Bridge (#6-24279) is required to
operate a Lionel Power-Master with the Lionel LEGACY Control System CAB-2 and Command
Base/Charger.
Sharing Control
Two operators, one with a CAB-2 and one with a CAB-1, should not operate the same Engine
or Train simultaneously. It is not recommended to "go between" CAB-2 and CAB-1 while
operating the same Engine or Train. Doing this will make the graph on the CAB-2 incorrect.
Two Systems at Once
It is possible for operators with CAB-1 to control any Engine or Train while other operators
with CAB-2 control any other Engine or Train. Switches and Routes can still be thrown, but
remember the limits of TMCC and CAB-1. A TMCC CAB-1 can only throw Routes 1-9 and
control Trains 1-9. The higher addresses (10-99) must be reached with a CAB-2.
The "Y" cord that comes with your Lionel LEGACY Control System makes it possible to
continue using your CAB-1 alongside your new Lionel LEGACY Control System. Set it up like
the diagram below. The "Y" cord also allows for RS232 (DB9) connection to your computer
for future applications.
