4 WELCOME Dec 6 06 ny changes to text Dec 13 06 ny changes to text 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
5 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!
6 STARTIG OUT 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.
7 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 away. 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.
8 . MEMORY MODULE DOWLOAD TO THE LEGACY COTROL SYSTEM • dec 4 06 ny (saving to custom read/write memory modules added) • dec5 06 ny changes reflecting UPLOAD and changed uploading directions to use “save IFO” prompt dec 12 06 ny changes to ew Lionel Legacy Control System equipped Engines • 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.
9 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.

31 SPEED GRAPH Dec 5 06 y changed text Dec 12 06 ny removed text The Speed Graph reveals the control power of the Velocity 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,
32 representing the movement of your train, moves toward its new target speed at a rate governed by the Momentum Control setting.
33 DIRECT COTROL SECTIO Dec 5 06 ny changes….removed “ing” and “will” for simplicity in many areas *Dec 2 06 ny mod to direction and train brake You can use this set of controls in conjunction with VTSC (see page xxx), or disable VTSC and just use this set of controls. Direction *dec 2 06 ny Simplified introduction restricts to Legacy engines only Direction Control in Legacy engines with Speed Control. *dec 2 06 ny ew changes default to standard direction Standard Direction Control is the default. Insert diagram 44 legacy dir control here Standard Direction Control in Speed Controlled Engines (DEFAULT) (Odyssey motor control, Legacy motor control) Press Direction once, underway, 1 target line goes to speed step 0 2 train stops 3 Direction is reversed 4 directional lighting is reversed Legacy Direction Control (optional) in Speed Controlled Engines (Odyssey motor control, Legacy motor control) Optional Legacy Direction Control can be enabled in the “DIRECT COTROL” section of “EGIE OPTIOS” in the IFO menu. Legacy Direction Control makes it possible to use the direction control to slow down an engine, and brake to a ROLL condition (speed step one) just by pressing Direction one time. If you want to stop the engine quickly, press Direction twice. At that point your engine will quickly be stopped with brake-sounds and still be in forward. Pressing Direction while the engine is stopped will reverse engine direction. Press direction once, underway, 1 target line goes to speed step 1 ROLL 2 Initiates auto-brake When grey –bar reaches speed step 1 ROLL

(Legacy engines only) 4 Dec 5 06 ny…removed pressing direction twice underway per John R as redundant Press direction once while stopped 1 Reverse with let-off sounds. 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) 4 Your engines STALL setting has been set Press direction once, underway

Press direction once while stopped 1 Reverse engine direction 2 Trigger a let-off sound and 3 Trigger backup lighting.
36 Train Brake Dec 2 06 ny changed to one big graph reviewing rpm levels to compress with train-brake????? Insert diagram 45 Train Brake here 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 Insert diagram 46 train brake levels(speed graph with train brake) here 1 To introduce loading effects 2 To limit the top speed of a train. 3 To increase the amount of loading used to move the train from a stopped condition. 4 To introduce more RPM levels at lower speeds as a diesel powered train begins to move. (Compress ticks) Dec 4 06 ny changes ,,,removed “moving” Train Brake value in #5 5 To generate a Train Brake value in the Speed Graph display 6 To control “Train Brake equipped” rolling stock 7 To stimulate appropriate sounds from “Train Brake equipped” rolling stock. 8 To change the engine’s default laboring level.

50 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 2 In this state the user enters the trigger commands. ie, <TR> <1> 3 The led goes out on the first key-press To erase the stored trigger and try again, press <record> and hold it down 1 The led blinks fast Release the record button 1 The trigger is erased 2 The led stops blinking 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 To save the recorded sequence, press <record> briefly 1 The led emits a steady light for 3 seconds, confirming recording done
51 To save the complete recording, 1 Press <SET> 2 The screen reads TR1 sequence saved 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. Memory There is a limit to the memory available for recording. To see how much memory you have available, 1 Press <CTC>. Scroll to “Record Options”. 2 Then Press <MEM> to view Record Memory (graph) Now you can see how much memory remains. The grey-bar represents Memory used.

54 SEQUECED COTROL SECTIO 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.
55 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. Velocity Throttle Auto-Brake Velocity Throttle Brake Control Insert diagram 20 VT Brake (Target Line at speed step 1, grey bar at 50%) here Move the target line to speed step 1 (Roll) while the grey bar is above speed step 1 1 Trigger a brake sound during deceleration 2 Continue braking and sounds until speed step 1, (ROLL condition) is attained.
56 3 Trigger a brake sound during deceleration until the target line is moved up from speed step 1 (ROLL Condition). Velocity Throttle Horn/Whistle Control Move the target line to speed step 200 (Maximum speed) while the grey bar is below speed step 200 1 Trigger a Loud warning. Move the target line below speed step 200 1 End a Loud warning. Passing through an A&D trigger or gate 1 May trigger a warning or signal sound 2 (see Legacy Sequenced Control) Velocity Throttle RPM Control Velocity Throttle Diesel RPM Control Insert diagram 24a VTSC RPM (shows rpm ticks) here 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
57 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 25 VTSC direction (show bottom 5 steps magnified) here Quickly turn the rotary counter clockwise, from a stop, at speed step 0 1 Change the direction of the locomotive 2 Produce a let-off sound 3 Produce an engineer dialog (some models) 4 Reverse locomotive lighting (back-up light) Velocity Throttle Engine laboring 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.
58 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 diagram 18 momentum select and graph 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.

67 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 Arrival-Departure 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
68 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 touch-screen. 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.

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.
80 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. 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 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.
