Agreed - I think that this is a question for them rather than dealers and those who obsess over the catalogs, like me. If I knew who to ask at Lionel I'd email.

John, would this make a difference? With a CAB2 you get a special set of keypad options for the TMCC crane. I can see that you would have to enter "Legacy Railsounds" in the engine info but as the boom car has the sound equipment, not the crane, wouldn't the boom car get the right commands?
