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!

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.

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.

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.

Dec 12 06 ny changes to content
Introduction
Insert diagram 15.5 CAB 2
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
