Cab 2 and Lionel's Acela?

When you set up the Acela you must set the Control Type to Cab1 or TMCC. If it's set to Leg (Legacy) it will sit there and do nothing. Only Legacy engines will run in LEG mode. All others ignore the commands as they're not the same as TMCC commands. Also remember to set the engine type to ACLA as this will give you the icons on the remote to operate all the extra features.

Larry Pages 55 - 58 in the manual will show you how to add an engine to the base with the remote. An engine module can do it but it is just as easy to add it yourself. Once you do a couple it becomes second nature. If you already have the Acela added to your remote you can get to the edit features screens by pressing ENG, then enter the Acela's ID Number, then press the INFO button. This will get you to the setup screens. They will be displayed across the remote.

Larry when the remote first boots up it will tell you what version it has in it and the base. Read it right after it turns on it should say 1.51. If it does your update was successful.
