Base-1L To DCS TIU patch Cable Question

Rod,

What interface cable do I need to connect a Base-1L to a DCS TIU? I suspect it is not the same one that was used with the original command base.

You need MTH #50-1032. Actually, in a pinch you can use the very first, original MTH cable, #50-1007, the one without a "box" in the cable.

How about for connecting a Legacy base and a Base-1L to a TIU? I seem to recall there is a Y cable needed, but don't know the PN.

 You need to use the "Y" cable that comes with the Legacy set.

This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition", available for purchase from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!

Hey thanks Barry. That is good to know.

Where is a good place to order the 50-1032 online? It would be nice to find one under the tree, but that is not too likely at this point!

Thanks,

rod

This store, in Port Orange has one in stock-across the state

Carl, Rod is in Canada, a long drive from Florida!

He's a snow bird, see profile.

Well, across the state is probably still a hell of a drive.

Hey just thought I would clarify; we are snowbirds, but we sold our Florida place and will go to Arizona this year. Leaving right after Christmas. Anyways, thanks to all for the information!

Cheers, Rod

I have a similar question. I am running TMCC with a 400 power base. 

I want to hook up DCS unit to this. When I disconnect the 400 and use the cord there's no where to hook up the 400. 

Also ,can run conventional  trains with the DCS?

this is like setting up a VCR? Any help would be appreciated. 

I have the TMCC / DCS cable

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Rod!

Thanks Carl!

And a very Merry Christmas back to you and all your Loved Ones!

What was wrong with FL?  Merry Christmas.  G

Hi George;

Nothing at all wrong with Florida. It was just time for a change. We had 5 great winters in Florida and met lots of fine folks, and did lots of great biking there as well. But putting that aside, look out Arizona, here we come!
