I have just purchased a Legacy control system. Is there more information available other than the booklet that comes with the set? I know Mike Reagan's excellent videos are online, but is there a comprehensive book available?

no. with all that is on this forum you should not have any issue.
I share the same interest, Dave. Although online resources are certainly timely and helpful, I much prefer to have a written reference by my side when I'm actually doing something with a train or a control system at the layout.
I just received Barry's DCS book today, and have spent part of the evening going through a few select chapters such as programming trolley routes (since I own a good number of PS2 trolleys and PCC cars). Learned quite a bit already.
I don't see the need but your mileage may vary.
I dont think you need to buy a third party book, ask whatever you need here or watch the lionel videos. Good luck
We talked about it a few times. Got to page 10 figured wasn't much more to say
I found the Legacy user's manual was actually pretty complete, I'm sure there are some little things that aren't covered, but those the the kinds of things you find out after you try to do more complicated stuff. If you read through the user manual, you're probably going to do fine.

Chris and John, I guess that sums it up. A simpler to use system doesn't need volumes to describe it's use and operation. I've been talking about this with some members at my club, where we have only been running DCS. Now, apart from only me, two other members and the club itself have decided to install legacy, just this past few days. So many of us have run out of patience with MTH's inability to supply parts, upgrade kits and information, and I love the ease with which Lionel make the information so available. Mike Reagan has really done a first class job at Lionel.
