Welcome to the world of Lionel Legacy Command Control. Congratulations on your purchase of this new operating system. It is the system others will be judged by in the years to come.

The Lionel Legacy Control System controls every product made over the history of LIONEL, 107 years at this date, in a way that is superior to any control available. It is truly the Lionel Legacy Control System.

Contemporary control systems for all model train gauges have been developed over the years to enhance your experience with electric trains. Command control is the most advanced way to control a layout and many operators are using command control systems on their layouts today.

This system is different. It integrates all of the new effects that Lionel has made so popular. Sounds, smoke effects, servo-controlled speed and more are easily accessed during the normal course of operation. The Lionel Legacy Control System makes these features and effects available to you in an unprecedented variety of operating possibilities.

The Lionel Legacy Control System improves operation of every LIONEL ever made, starting in 1900. Enhanced speed resolution brings new realism to our pre-war and post-war products, whether they are the originals that made history, or the TMCC equipped engines and operating cars that celebrated our heritage by bringing the latest technology to these great products. This control system is another milestone in LIONEL history.

The Lionel Legacy Control System improves all of the interfaces operators have become accustomed to using with modern command control trains. The new real-time “quilling” Whistle-Horn control is a great example. In place of our pioneering original method, pressing a button and triggering an onboard sound device, or hearing a pre-recorded sound from an electronic source, the Lionel Legacy Control System pioneers new control of the warning sounds through a spring-loaded lever that makes it possible for you to “play” the whistle just like real engineers did in the hey-day of steam operations. But that’s not all. You will also experience revolutionary new ways of controlling brake, boost, bell, direction, switches, routes and more. It is all new.

The hallmark of this new Lionel system is simplicity. Yet under the surface is a state of the art operating system with pioneering advances that

have never been seen, felt, or heard before. This system makes and supports Lionel history.

One interface, the throttle, has been re-invented to provide an operating experience that is unparalleled in model trains to this date. Just imagine controlling all the train effects from your throttle while watching your train and rarely having to look at the controller to find a button or read a display!

The Lionel Legacy Control System is here! Congratulations! You are onboard and right on time!

Dec 6 06 ny changes Dec 12 06 ny added 3 prong socket reminder. Dec 13 06 ny added factory ID # 1 …

Here’s how to start.

Take your system out of the box, become familiar with the contents and set it up following these instructions:

Insert diagram 1(command base connection and lights description) here

First, plug in the Command Base power cord to a three prong socket and connect your command base to the track with the single wire included. Check out the diagram and see if you have everything right. The lights should be on. Remember, this system requires a three prong socket for power.

Before you operate your new Lionel Legacy Control System equipped engine, give your engine an ID # and set it up correctly by adding it to your system’s roster of engines. Follow the directions that came with your locomotive or read on in this manual.

Note that your new Lionel Legacy Control System equipped engine comes with a factory ID # 1 and will respond to that address immediately.

EGIE ID #

Now, it’s time for the engine. You can start by giving your new engine a ID#.

Insert diagram 1.5 address assignment (program run switch) here

To give your new Engine an ID#:

1 Slide the program/run switch to “Program”. 2 Power down your track. 3 Put the engine on the track. 4 Power up your track. 5 Make sure no other CABs are in use 6 Press EN 7 Enter a unique engine ID # 1 to 98 with Cab 2

Insert diagram 1.1 (assign ID#) here

8 Press SET

Insert diagram 1.2 (set button) here

9 The horn should blow, the headlight pulse, or both. 10 Take the engine off the track (optional) and 11 Slide the program/run switch back to “Run” right

12 Power down your track. 13 Put the engine on the track again. 14 Power up your track. 15 You are ready to operate.

UIVERSAL ADDRESS ID # 99

If you would like to run all the trains on your layout at once with one address, just address ID # 99 to start up all your engines at once. Every engine will respond to ID # 99. It is not necessary to program the engine to ID # 99. All engines are factory programmed to respond to ID #1 or ID # 99 at the factory. You can change the ID # 1 but not the ID # 99.

Now it is time to insert the memory module and load the system with all of your new engine’s information. This is a necessary step that you only do once.

ew Lionel Legacy Control System equipped Engines

Each Legacy engine is packaged at the factory with a unique memory module. Make sure you locate, use and save the memory module. It will enter all the unique information about your engine when you plug it into the CAB 2.

Now you are ready to insert your engine’s unique memory module into CAB 2. It will be downloaded into the system and associated with the TMCC ID # you have entered. All other remotes will have the information too.

TMCC Engines and Retrofit Engines

Custom Read/Write Memory Modules

Older TMCC engines have their Engine options entered manually. Here’s how to save that info so you can take it with you to a new Legacy layout.

Once the info has been entered manually (see page XXX, Engine options), address the engine, and insert a Read/Write memory module into Cab 2. Follow the prompts to upload. Now you have saved the engine INFO into the Memory Module.

TMCC engines do require a Read/Write memory module if you want to take them to a new layout and would like to have the name and engine options available to download into the new layout’s Legacy system base.

When you arrive at the new layout, pick up a CAB 2 and address your older TMCC locomotive. Then insert the memory module into the Cab 2. You have added all the INFO for that locomotive into the new layout’s Legacy System.

Read/Write modules come with retrofit kits or are purchased separately.

Insert Diagram 3.7 (Insert Memory Module) here.

How to upload Engine Options to Memory modules

With your TMCC engine addressed, and Engine options manually entered, 1 Address TMCC engine

Lionel Legacy addressing and controls for Traditional command control operation are described in this section. This is the way your new CAB 2 and LIONEL Legacy products will operate the first time you try them. There are a lot of new features available immediately with CAB 2.

When you leaarn to use the Options menu in the Cab 2, you will discover that ther are many optional “advanced” methods of using the Direct Controls. But for now the Direct Controls are default set up for basic operation. You can access the advanced optional features in ENGINE OPTIONS of the INFO menu

Take the time to read the following descriptions of how the CAB 2 controls work. It will be helpful. Although the signal on the track is similar to Train-Master Command Control, the amount of commands has been increased by many thousands, allowing for much more control of your Lionel Railroad.

If you wish to have more ROUTE addresses, there is an easy method to add them. This feature is useful if you have used all your addresses and you have a yard but no addresses to access it with ROUTES. You can select any number 1-9 and make any ROUTE address that starts with that number be a two-digit address. If you want, you can make the 9 tracks of your yard be all double-digit addresses, starting with 9. That would be 90, 91 92, etc to 99. This can be done with any number you choose, or all numbers if you wish.

The advantage of single digit ROUTE addresses is speed and simplicity. For that reason, you may want to retain some single digit ROUTE addresses for your main Routes.

Throttle. Changed momentum description in speed graph overview

Insert diagram 17 speed graph (target line, grey-bar, and train brake bar) here

Speed Graph Target Line

The Target Line moves across the graph quickly or slowly, depending on how you turn the Velocity Throttle. It indicates your “Target Speed”. That is the speed you want your train to travel.

Speed Graph Grey-Bar

The Grey-Bar is your engine’s “Commanded Speed”. The Grey Bar always seeks the target line. The Grey-Bar moves across the speed graph at a pre-set rate.

The Momentum setting L, M, and H, is how you decide a pre-set rate of acceleration or deceleration for your train and the speed graph grey-bar on the display. Momentum setting is default pre-set to “M”, Medium. For more info, see the Momentum section.

Train Brake Window and Bar

eeds rewrite for new graph

This graph indicates how much the overall speed capability has been trimmed by adding the Train Brake load. To the left you see a reduced speed graph, illustrating the new trimmed capability. To the right , the black bar represents the amount of drag the Train Brake has applied to the throttle.

Speed Graph Overview

When your engine arrives at its “Target Speed”, it holds that speed until you give it another speed command or “Target Speed”. Then the speed graph’s grey-bar,

representing the movement of your train, moves toward its new target speed at a rate governed by the Momentum Control setting.

Optional Legacy Direction Control in on Speed-Controlled Legacy retrofitted Engines

*dec 2 06 ny added stall description to replace ROLL in non speed controlled engines

ote: Since non-speed controlled engines do not regulate exact speeds, it is unreliable to expect a consistent ROLL condition at speed step one. This type of engines requires that you set a STALL setting to replace ROLL.

STALL condition should be set just as your engine is about to stop moving. Even with this setting, your engine behaviour may not be exact. This is a limitation of any non-speed control engine. Experiment with the STALL setting to learn about each engine’s behaviour and adjust it accordingly.

To set STALL

1 Press SET (headlight will flash) 2 Get your engine moving at it’s lowest consistent speed. 3 Press SET ( headlight will stop flashing, engine will

stop)

Legacy Train Brake Control

A Train Brake is used to stretch out a train by applying air brakes to the wheels of the rolling stock. In doing this, it creates drag, which makes the engines work harder to pull the load. As the Legacy Train Brake is applied there are three ways the effect is modeled.

1 More laboring 2 Less speed potential 3 Adjusted momentum rates for acceleration and

deceleration.

The Train Brake slider can be pulled down varying amounts, and used with the Velocity Throttle

The Legacy Control touch-screen adapts to whatever you are controlling.

Future LIONEL Legacy Control products may have engine or accessory specific features that do not come as standard on other products. When you purchase one of these future products, there will be an additional system upgrade memory module for the unique touchscreen.

The system upgrade memory module will provide a chronological system upgrade for your remote and/or base. Follow the simple instructions enclosed with your latest product to download new touchscreens into your system. If you have more than one system upgrade for more than one product at the same time, it is only necessary to download the latest chronological version.

RECORD

Use the Legacy <RECORD> button to record any action that you desire to see repeated. A complete recording always consists of a stored trigger command and an action sequence. Once the action is recorded, playing back is simple. The Trigger Command, which can be any combination of key presses, will always playback that sequence automatically whenever it is entered.

Recording

Insert diagram 59.5 (Record button, LED) here

To create the stored trigger, press <record> briefly 1 The led blinks fast

3 The led goes out on the first key-press

To erase the stored trigger and try again, press <record> and hold it down

Release the record button

To save the stored trigger, press <record> briefly 2 The led blinks slowly To record the sequence of commands, once the trigger is saved and the led is blinking slowly, the user enters the sequence to be recorded, ie, <AUX 1> <7 >. 1 The led goes out on the first keypress

To erase the sequence of commands and try again, press <record> and

hold it down. 1 The led blinks slowly Release the Record button 1 the sequence is erased 2 the led stops blinking

In summary, if the led is blinking fast, you can record a trigger. If the led

is blinking slowly, you can record a sequence. If the led is not blinking,

you can press <record> briefly to clear and start recording

Note that only one recording can be saved for any trigger. Recording a

new sequence with the same trigger will erase the sequence previously

recorded with that trigger.

Playback

Because he trigger is a sequence of commands, the recording plays

whenever that sequence is entered.

In this next section we will introduce you to three parts of the Legacy Control system that work together.

LEGACY VELOCITY THROTTLE

MOMETUM

LEGACY SEQUECED COTROL

Together, these control methods are a new way to control your trains.

Operating a train with the Legacy Velocity Throttle enables you to control whistle/horn, bell, independent engine brake, crew-talk, blow-down effect, let-offs, loading, speed and more. This is all done through sequences that happen when you trigger them with certain throttle moves.

Though it is always possible to control these effects through the Direct Control method, the velocity throttle is capable of operating the effects without looking away to the Direct Controls. You have the choice of either method, or both methods at the same time.

In this section, you will encounter new terms ROLL, TRANS, ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE TRIGGER, and GATE. Refer to the diagram to understand where these conditions are on the speed graph.

Insert diagram 19 “MASTER SEQUECE” here Insert diagram 19.2 “A&D magnifier” here Insert diagram 19.1 “Master Sequence illustrated speed graph” here

These diagrams show the full 200 speed steps in the range of the Velocity Throttle and the Lionel Legacy system. The “Master Sequence” illustration and Display Window “Speed Graph” illustrate where all of the different Conditions, Triggers and Gates are located. Become familiar with this to understand what follows next in this manual.

LEGACY VELOCITY THROTTLE

Rotating the Velocity throttle at different rates will result in control of effects as well as fine to coarse control of train speed.

Velocity Throttle Speed

Velocity Throttle Speed Control with a Low momentum setting

1 Turning the rotary slowly takes 4 revolutions to go

from speed-step 1 to 200 2 Turning the rotary quickly takes less than 1

revolution to go from speed-step 1 to 200

Velocity Throttle Speed Control (with a Medium or High Momentum setting) 1 The target line movement is the same as with the “Low” setting

2 the grey-bar movement is affected and moves

slower than at the “Low” setting.

The Target line and Grey-bar

The Target line represents the desired speed of the train. The grey-bar represents the commanded speed of the train. It is this difference that lets you control features like the Auto-Brake independently of the speed of the train. Experiment with L M and H momentum and see how it affects your train’s commanded speed compared to the Target line.

Rotate the Velocity Throttle through its range past RPM ^ markers

1 Change RPM levels.

When grey-bar increases through an RPM mark,

1 RPMs increase each time.

When grey -bar decreases through an RPM mark,

1 RPMs decrease each time.

Internal…..Mark and Bruce, Since an RPM ramp takes a definite amount of time to play, a scheme for sending the absolute ramp up or down commands in cue may be needed to make sure RPM ramping is solid. Perhaps this would necessitate the standard time-length for an RPM ramp to be identified. Commands could then be stored and sent out on cue when the user is changing speeds with direct or low momentum control. Or , on the other hand, if the absolute RPM level is known, the ramps would just keep climbing until the right level is reached. Internally in Railsounds, smoke may be triggered to correspond to the rpms rising………The deciding factor is how long it takes the grey-bar to go from one RPM tick to another. If that amount of time is shorter

than the duration of a standard ramp time, we will need a cue that plays all the absolute ramps until they “catch up” with the grey-bar position. Bruce may be able to do this inside RS but that would not help us with the “FEEDBACK” cab2 vibration effects we want at RPM changes… we need to solve this. Y

An alternative is to use the old tmcc method of ramping which is trigger a ramp up or down whenever the throttle goes up or down. We could fall back and use this method whenever the momentum rate is too fast to accommodate an RPM trigger from the graph.

Velocity Throttle Direction Control

Insert diagram 28 VTSC laboring (Target 80 grey-bar 40) here

When the target line is above the grey bar,

1 Laboring sounds will intensify greatly, gradually

decreasing to normal (default) as the grey-bar reaches the target line.

2 The laboring sound is affected by the distance between

the grey-bar is from the target line.

Insert diagram 28.5 VTSC laboring (Target 40 grey-bar 80) here

When the target line is below the grey-bar,

1 Laboring sounds will weaken in intensity, gradually

increasing to normal (default) as the grey-bar reaches the target line.

2 The laboring sound is affected by the distance between

the grey-bar and the target line.

MOMETUM

Momentum plays a big part in exploring the new features of the Velocity

Throttle and Legacy Sequence control.

Momentum settings govern the amount of time it takes your engine to reach its Target Speed. During that time, a lot of events happen automatically. Momentum, the rate of your engine’s acceleration, is set to “M” or medium as a default. Setting Momentum to “L” will greatly increase acceleration and deceleration rates, affecting the timing of some “sequence control” features, while setting Momentum to “H” will decrease the rates of acceleration and deceleration, giving you more time to experience “sequence control” transition events.

Momentum has 3 settings, L is low or direct, M is user settable, and H is high. Engines default to “M”. Experiment with “L”, “M”, and “H”.

You can easily “customize” each engine’s “M” momentum settings and store these settings by using the method described next:

ote diagram incorrect

Press and Hold the M button

1 Display a momentum graph labeled “M”. 2 Continuing to hold the button down will enable you

to use your rotary to move the grey area of the

graph up or down to a new setting. 3 Release the “M” button. 4 Now you have re-set the momentum for “M”. Try it

out and adjust it until you like it. The new setting

will be saved automatically for whatever engine you

are using. Customize the momentum settings for

each of your engines this way.

FIE TUIG VELOCITY THROTTLE SEQUECES

Dec6 06 ny changes to text Dec 12 06 ny text changes

Insert diagram 72 velocity throttle sequenced control here

Your TMCC 2 Velocity Throttle has a series of sequences that it can reproduce any time you move it a certain way. You “load” a sequence by making a certain move with the throttle. One example of this is when you have a train moving along the track with momentum engaged and you move the speed-graph target line to speed step one. The brakes come on. You have loaded the auto-brake with Velocity Throttle Control. You did that just by moving the target line to speed step one. You didn’t have to watch the speed graph to know this because you heard the brake sounds. They only are engaged when the target line is at speed step one on the Velocity Throttle. When you hear the brake sound stop, your train is at speed step one or ‘ROLL” condition. Now the engine will roll along at its slowest speed with its bell ringing. That’s what it does in speed step one, “ROLL” condition.

You are not limited to hearing brake sounds while your train is braking towards speed step one. Just moving the Target line to speed step 2 will stop the brake sound, although your train may still be slowing down to speed step 2. You control the brake sound as your engine slows down. Just keep the target line below the grey-bar (train speed) for deceleration and you can add brake sound effects any time just by moving the target line back to speed step one.

When the train arrives at speed step one, “Roll” Condition, brakes stop, and bell starts.

As we have seen earlier, between Roll and Stop, there is a condition called Trans- on the speed-graph. You get to Trans- just by turning the throttle down one notch from “Roll”. It doesn’t affect the speed. You are still rolling, but now the brake sounds are back on. One more turn of the throttle counter-clockwise takes your train from Trans- to Stop. Now the brake sounds stop and your train is right where you want to be. The bell stops too, lettting you know motion has stopped.

Now you take one more trip with your train. It is rolling along at more than half speed through your layout.

Your train is traveling at a speed that is above the A&D GATE, (default speed step 100 or half-speed). That automatically loads the ArrivalDeparture sequence. Stop your train at a station. Now that your engine has stopped and finished a high-speed trip, after a few seconds at stop, it will perform an automatic “Blow-Down sequence”. A blow down sequence is

a large plume of smoke coming from the stack and a loud blow down sound. It lasts a few seconds. That sequence wouldn’t have happened if your engine had not been above the Gate (default speed step 100), on its last trip.

All of these sequences of events have events that start the sequence off, and effects that are triggered in the sequence. You can change behavior of each locomotive by tuning in the sounds and effects that you would like to respond and the speed step (event) that you would like to trigger the sequence. You can also set exactly when the effects will happen by adjusting the Trigger. Just set a new speed step for that Trigger in the Sequence Options section of INFO. If you then like the old setting better, just press default and you’re right back to factory settings. You can’t hurt anything by making a mistake.

Once your engine is addressed, these “SEQUENCE TUNING” adjustments are all made in the INFO menu, and they stay with your engine until you change them again. You have the choice to adjust them if you like. You can just turn them off and run your train directly with the standard controls by touching the Sequence Control soft-key on the touchscreen. You can even use both methods at the same time.

When you run your engines in a lash-up, the head-end engine sequences will be the default setting for all the lashed-up engines. Sequenced sound effects like Whistle/Horn, brakes, bell and crew-talk only come from the head end unit.

TABLE OF OPTIOS

Throughout this manual references to Options are made. In the IFO menu, Options can be selected. The following Table of Options shows the possibilities that are available to you in tuning the performance of your Lionel products. From time to time, more Options may be added to particular product types. Use the “otes” pages in the back of this manual to keep up to date on the latest advances.

This manual will be updated regularly to include options added for new products. A good example of options coming in the future would be “Railsounds tuning”. Another appropriate example would be “Prophecy” products, which will introduce more and more features to the Lionel Legacy Control system. Manuals that come with future controllers will be updated to reflect these advances, both in the text, and the Options tables.

Stall

Insert diagram 43.5 stall set sequence ( set button and graph) here

Introduction

“Stall” is used to establish the amount of power required as a locomotive first starts moving. Once “stall” is set, it ignores any speed steps below that threshold. Engines without speed control (Odyssey or Legacy Speed Control) may benefit from a new “stall” setting.

CAB MODES

Your CAB 2 is already in its default CAB 2 MODE.

Insert CAB 2 diagram with CTC button and Cab Mode screen here

Press SET (headlight will blink)

Operate your engine on a straight piece of level track, decelerating until it

just stalls (stops moving).

Press SET again (headlight will stop blinking)

STALL condition is set. Now decelerating will take your engine to this

new STALL condition. Your engine will always start motion right from

the STALL condition.

You can go to the CAB MODE section of the Central Train Control menu

by pressing the CTC button and scrolling to the CAB Mode screen.

There you can select between Cab 1 and Cab 2 operation.

Cab 1 is just like the traditional TMCC Cab 1 operation, with the

addition of the display screen.

Cab 2 operation contains all the Legacy features.
