I have 1 legacy 990 and 2 layouts I was thinking about getting a base 1l for my other layout but I don't know if it can be run with a cab2 I was wondering if it is a 990 base without the charging feature does it do all the same things

The base 1L does not work with the Cab2. There is not database in it for the Cab2 to connect to.
However a Cab1L will connect to a Legacy 990 base.
A 990 has the Legacy electronics and charger, a 993 is just a charger.
Why can't he connect the grounds of both layouts to the same legacy base? We do it with independent loops on the same layout. Is there a distance limitation?

how far apart are your layouts?
Jan,
Yes he can set up that way or he can use a Terminal Block, I do believe Marty was explaining the difference between the Cab1L and the Base. The Legacy itself can be used with a Terminal Block and run to many different track layouts, I do this with 4 different Track layouts all working from one Legacy Base, even controlling all my FasTrack Command Control switches on the different Tracks.
