I’m about to pull the trigger on Base 3 and i was wondering if you can do an Engine consist with a TMCC and newer legacy engine using the base 3 controller?

The rules are the same as always. The TMCC engine should be the lead engine and I would still try them separated before assuming they'll travel at the same speed. By having the TMCC engine in the lead it will force the Legacy engine into TMCC mode. This does not guarantee they'll be compatible speed wise though which is why I'd build the train and keep them uncoupled until tested to verify they are running close to the same speed.
Heck, I’m so green i didn’t know that much. Base 3 is my first command control, So Marty i thank you for that tid bit of info!
