Cab-2 remote will not turn on. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if this will help you or not but on the back of the cab-2 on the upper right side just below the top screw , you will see a small silver dot. press that with a pen or pin and see what happens. I believe that's a reset for the cab.

I hope it helps,like I said a stab in the dark!!

Thanks, Doug.  That is the reset button.  We've tried that several times.  I suspect it may be a failed switch.

I actually stopped by Nicholas Smith Trains as I knew I was headed that direction and both Joe and Chris fiddled with the remote for quite some time.  We all came to the conclusion that it needs a trip to Lionel.  I've emailed Lionel Service for a return authorization.  Looks like I'll be without my Legacy for Christmas.  Sigh.

I wouldn't count on that.  Lionel's turnaround is typically pretty fast.

Sorry, it's my cynical take on anything and everything that's service related in the U.S.  I hope your prediction comes true.  I have to say they responded very quickly to my email.  My hopes are elevated!  Thanks, Martye.  You made my day.

Ron,

   Your Legacy will probably need to be repaired, however try this, pop one of he batteries and then reset it, when I did this my unit would come back to life.  I used mine by doing this for a short time, before I sent mine into Lionel for repairs.

Hope this helps a might.

Dave,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I gave it a try, several times.  Unfortunately, it didn't help.  Looks like it's off to Lionel tomorrow.  tx,

Ron L,

   Lionel's turn around time has been extremely good, when they fixed mine, it was back in 10 days.  Make sure you call and they will send you an RA # via e-mail, if you are a Veteran Lionel pays the shipping Cost also.  Lionel, Still one of the best companies around.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Dave.  I got the RA# and I've already shipped it off to Lionel but forgot about the free shipping for vets.  I'll send them an email and update that.  Thanks for the reminder.
