A simple question and answer time

Hi guys.

I run DCS (Excuse me but I think I'm on the correct channel). Please stay with me. A couple of months ago I ordered a couple E8A,s from 3rd rail. The SAL and the SRR. As you know they come with ERR cruise, TMCC, and Rail Sounds. Now their speaking in a foreign tongue to me.

The purpose of this post.. What additional Hardware do I need to start up these engines in a few months. Not used, all new hardware. Can't take the chance for a burnout. From this point I need an instruction manual similar to "Barry Bible" in DCS. I read some where that TMCC and DCS are two different languages but I must bridge the gap.

Thanks Guys, I need hardware for TMCC etc. and a simple guide for integration for DCS to TMCC.

I appreciate all your input and help

Tommy

Personally, I would get a Legacy 990 system. That would allow you to run any TMCC or Legacy engine that you might aquire in the future. This is what I have done. I run MTH with DCS and Lionel with Legacy. They work well together on the same tracks.

I did not do this as I actually liked the systems being separate, but you can connect the TIU and Legacy base together with a 50-1032 cable from MTH and control the TMCC and Legacy engines in TMCC mode with your DCS system. Also with this setup, you can add wifi to your DCS system and have control of all the Legacy features with the Premium DCS app now that it is available. The App has full Legacy capability, the DCS Remote does not, it's TMCC only.

There is no 'Barry Book' for the TMCC/Legacy products. I too wish there was one available, but there is not. I am also a big fan of Barry's DCS book. There are many folks here that can help you with the Lionel systems though.

in my opinion legacy/tmcc is much easier and therefore does not need a book.

ask questions here and also read this thread;
