Thanks, when I clicked the video I had no idea how to control the remote , now I know about everything on it. Good job 👍
Awesome video! I’ve had my legacy set up since December 2018 and still learning new things with this command system! Thank you!
Steve, your videos are awesome. I know it's been a while, but I'd love to see/hear more of your presentations.
Great informative video for someone that is new to Lionel and O Gauge trains. Looking forward to setting up and learning my Lionel system.
Good Stuff! I didn’t know O Scale control was different from DCC. I’m getting back into Modeling Railroads. I was torn between HO and O (started with HO), but I think I’m going O this time. BIG DETAILS look great on BIG locomotives and stock. Running 0-84 and 0-72’s will be my curves because I prefer Long Engines and Rolling Stock. 👍🏽🇺🇸😊
Thanks for your EXCELLENT video !
I am new to legacy and is still confused on how to use it.
Your video solved several questions i was having.
Good to know; thanks for your input.
Very helpful video. Just added the 990 to my layout, it's an amazing system.
I have the legacy system and the JLC big boy and it is very fun to operate, thanks!!
AWESOME tutorial Steve!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bill I appreciate your feedback. :)
Great video! Very informative! I am just trying to get started with Lionel Legacy, and need all the help I can get!! Thank you
Cool review I love mine really great looking engine thanks for sharing
Great video! Lots of good information.
This helped me out a bunch. Thank you
Good morning, TrainLine14. This is CJ commenting on TH-cam. I honor your video and I'm sure that this video has helped me out with the Lionel Legacy Control System and I look forward to someday have the Lionel Legacy Control System for a Future Lionel Layout. I love your video. It's got style!
Thank you for your kind words CJ! I wish you the best with your railroad and good luck getting Legacy!
Thanks Steve, excellent video.
joseph smolinski Thanks for your feedback! Greatly appreciated.
Great video.
Fantastic tutorial, thank you I learned a lot ! You should work for lionel !!
So cool Steve
Great vid and tutorial.
Good job , great video
Thank you for the videos
EPIC video!!!
Thanks :)
This is a perfect way to learn how to use this...once I buy it.
It's a lot of fun, you'll love it!!! :)
***** I most likely will.
great review - matt
Thanks Matt :)
Thank you for this very useful video!!!! I just got a visionline union pacific challenger #3985 today along with the legacy remote and I had no idea how to use it. Did your big boy come with a module? Mine did not and I thought was odd. Thank you.
Great videos. Is there a way in legacy diesel to scroll through different horn sounds.
You can feather a diesel locomotive horn, the newer ones you may not be able to but the older ones you can
Yes TrainLine14 I'll agree with that.
Wow I’m excited to get Legacy, hey how do you turn off the engine and the remote? Do you just cut off track power?
Having problems running a tmcc engine with legacy control system. Do you have a instructional video on this subject?
I just got the legacy system, how do you setup the remote, also how do you add engines to the remote
I want to have 2 legacy trains on one track. How can I "automate" for a train behind to slow down or stop if there is a slower train ahead? With conventional systems, I saw they used isolated blocks. But for legacy systems with CAB2 remote, how can I do it?
Diesels that use the manual horn valve can quill.
Got a question for you. Will the Lionel legacy remote work with any Lionel train? Plus other names like MTH big boy?
Awesome video. Maybe turn the sound down on the engine a little. Some of this was hard to hear. Look forward to seeing more.
Can you use any DCC system, or will Lionel trains only work with the Lionel Legacy system?
Just bought the Legacy system and it’s running on CAB 1 yet all instructions mention running on CAB 2...how do you switch to CAB2?
Get video! Just one little bit. Modern diesels can't quill the horn, however some first and second generation diesels using either a rope cord or a lever on a control stand can be quilled.
ravenhawk6910 Thanks and yeah I've heard a bit about that, but didn't know about it at the time of the video. Wish I could witness a real quilling diesel! That would be pretty cool..... :)
Question for you. Do you have the legacy command base connect to the transformer or to the track?
The command base connects to the track via the ground (black) terminal. Check out my setup tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/Lz-yt4K_b8I/w-d-xo.html
hi i was wondering can i run these new lionchief engines in these new starter sets with my legacy system? if you know please let me know
Felix Palazzolo, The lioncheif locos come with the lioncheif remote, and can not be ran with the legacy system.
and how do diesels have an electric horn...?
Are you using a zw-80
Hey I cannot reprogram my lionel legacy Kanas City Southern 3953 engine it just start up when I power up the track can you please tell me what the problem is
Hey Steve I was wondering if I could possibly have a couple words with you regarding your engine and your control system as I have the same system yours works and mine does not I believe I’m programming it incorrectly if you could reach out to me I would greatly appreciate it
Question: how do I control 2 separate tracks with one command control?
+Peter Cornejo To control two separate tracks, you have to make sure that they are running on the same circuit. So if you have an inner loop and an outer loop, join them with a switch interchange or a crossover track somewhere. That way although they are two separate lines they will still be linked to the same electrical circuit and will both be able to receive commands from your Legacy remote.
Just got a Legacy and it will not connect the Remote to the Base, no matter what channel I choose, no matter how many times I scan the channels? Lionel Tech Support was clueless I wonder if you can help? Thanks
Hmm, that's interesting. I bet your remote and base are running different versions of the software. If you power up the remote, click the CTC button and you should see what software version you have. If the base and remote have different versions, they will not find each other. If you have the blue upgrade modules, you can program the remote and base to the same software version, otherwise you can purchase a black writable utility module from Lionel that will allow you to download the latest software. If that doesn't work, you may have a faulty remote or base, unfortunately. :( It's hard for me to be entirely sure from just text, but I hope some of this helps. Best of luck! :)
I heard you could run an MTH engine with the legacy remote.
Yes, you can run an MTH engine, but you will not be able to access many features unless you use MTH's DCS with that engine.
I have a PA GP7 # 6-28573, the engine will only move in slow motion. I tried to fix the problem by unsetting the speed limit, doesn't work. How can I get the engine moving again?
If the Legacy remote isn't restricting your engine's speed, then there's probably something wrong with the engine itself. The motor may be weak, or your track may not be getting enough power. There could be numerous reasons. Is it for sure something with the remote? Also try a factory reset of the engine-that may solve the problem. I explain how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/_WeVcGkiWt4/w-d-xo.html Also sorry for the delayed response!
I noticed one of the buttons had the letter R in a circle what does that button do?
That button is a "reset" button. If at any time your locomotives aren't responding correctly to your commands, you can hit that button and it will reset the engine. It is also used to deactivate sequence control if your engine has that feature, and to initiate refueling sounds if you hold it down. (Again, your engine would have to have that feature equipped. Usually the newer Legacy engines do but the ones from around 2007, 2008ish don't)
Maybe Legecy Is easy for me to use as long if there's not to many buttons to push, making the engine go crazy out of control & that I can't use it anymore.
It does seem overwhelming at first doesn't it? But don't worry-Legacy is a piece of cake to use once you understand it. Happy railroading! :)
Modern diesels have electrically operated horns, but they are not electric horns they are air operated.
+Thunder Bolt Yea now that I think about it you're right. Good catch, thanks for the comment!
I wish I had enough money for my that but I’m a kid but I really want a Lionel big boy
What kind of curve do you use
+Chase Stjohn Surprisingly enough, on this layout I'm using O-36. The only reason the Big Boy can make it around is because it's a Lionmaster Big Boy, so it's able to handle the tighter turns, at the sacrifice of some body detail.
Wait you forgot to talk about the record button. I always wanted to know how to work it.
Christian Hickman Yeah good catch. I thought about that earlier, I think I'm going to make another video showcasing some other Legacy features, such as that one. Thanks for your input.
***** thanks, no problem
I just got legacy, can't figure out how to reverse yet
Push the boost/brake wheel straight down like a button, until it clicks. You're now in reverse. :)
how many trains can you run with just the legacy remote
Last I heard you could run up to six with one remote, but I could be wrong. Just make sure you have enough power supply to do so.
lionel train mastet 101 you can run 99
99
does it work on n scale
No, Lionel Legacy is only for Lionel O Scale trains, but I'm sure there's a different system for your scale.
does this require a Transformer
Yes. Lionel Legacy Control System requires a transformer to power up the track, since the Legacy system is not a source of power for the trains. It is only a source of control.

Hi
horribly organized video
