I purchased a Lionel command control inspection car - powered track as usual and tried to address as EN 1 on Legacy remote, but it just sat there with lights on. Is there something wrong with the car or do I have to re-configure the Legacy remote - if so, how do you do this? I have my original TMCC remote packed away somewhere, so if necessary I can dig that out and try it with that.
Thanks.

The default for the Legacy CAB2 ends up being Legacy mode, so you need to hit INFO, scroll over to the command type, and use CAB1 or TMCC for the Inspection car.
I had pressed info before but didn't see Cab 1 - tried it again and found it at the bottom left of the screen after I scrolled. It then asked me to assign it to TMCC or Legacy, chose TMCC, and then it asked me about sound version, pressed "no sounds", and then it asked me to assign a name. Named it "CAR." Finally, turned dial and it growled some, and finally moved! I don't know if the growling when starting out is normal or not? Hopefully, nothing is binding inside the car.
Thanks, again, John.
From a occasional train operator I have to say this system leaves something to be desired. Like DCS, I hope it gets more familiar as time goes on. One control system would be nice, though.
Paul, if you use it enough, you'll get used to it. 
Both systems offer a lot of "goodies", but you have to learn your way around to get them working.
The inspection car has a motor that tends to make a bit of a growl as it starts
