I've been asked many times which systems can control what engines, so here's a video that will hopefully answer those questions. Enjoy. Check out my train blog at www.ericstrains.com

  • If your running a power distribution block (terminal block) off of the tiu, where exactly does the wire get hooked up coming from the legacy base? The terminal block I'm using is just for power to the track. I'm running 2 lockons for power to one track ( large oval)

    Thanks for any info

  • @DEATHWISHYT2 The legacy wire can be connected to the ground wire on the output side of the TIU.

  • Ok, i am buying 2 or 3 Legacy engines, but will be buying tons or Proto 2 and 3's, i have the DCS, do you think i should also get Lionel's legacy controller to access all of the legacy features, like quill able whistle?

  • @ELMSLines I wouldn't buy a legacy engine without having the legacy system. You just miss out on too much cool stuff without it.

  • Eric - I have an MTH z4000 transformer, a TIU, and a DCS remote w/ base. I want to run my Legacy, TMCC, and DCS locos on the layout. I know this is possible because of your video. Can you please tell me what Lionel products I need in order to do this. Is it simply the Legacy remote and base or do I need anything else. Thanks so much.

  • @Por2gesDiesel If you want to run Legacy/TMCC engines on your layout, just get the Legacy command base and remote and hook it up to the output channel of the TIU. It's pretty simple.

see all

  • @austrobb yes

  • Would legacy also control atlas trains

  • @nukinfuts1000

    "Normal" TMCC units don't have the quillable whistle/horn feature. Only Legacy units let you do that.

  • @esiegel76 Im sorry, I didnt understand something. Can you quill the whistle/ horn on normal TMCC engines with the legacy remote?
