How about a "Company Notch" for Legacy?

I AGREE WITH YOUR IDEA CONRAIL.

 

RIGHT NOW - JUST KEEP A DIARY OR NOTEBOOK TO REFERENCE ENGINES & SPEED UNTIL LIONEL COMES UP WITH IMPLEMENTING YOUR IDEA.

I like this idea also. One thing I do to sort of mimic this is set a speed limit at my ideal cruising speed. Then you can use the preset railroad speeds and get all the dialogue but only go to that speed you like. Obviously the draw back being you can't over without removing the limit. But just a suggestion until/if Lionel uses this idea.
Fingers crossed.

Thats a neat idea!

I agree that this is a great idea.  

 

At present I use the train brake slider to set my maximum speed. I just have to be careful not to move it by accident.

Cool idea but are the legacy speed sounds on the manual it says 5 mph 15 mph.. Are those the speed the engine goes because I run legacy and I Press restricted speed and the thing runs at 24 mph is this right legacy set is on 1.3

Hello Tomas

Where are you seeing that the engine is running 24mph?
The number for the speed on legacy is not equivelant to scale miles per hour but rather just what speed step out of 200 that you are on.
Someone correct me if I am wrong!

Correct.  The display is speed steps and not SMPH.  Also as I recently learned the steps are not linear but should closely match between Legacy engines. 

Marty thank you for confirmation. It was my understanding that the speed curve is the same for engines with the same profile. For example if it is set to be a diesel it will be the same as another legacy diesel but not the same as one set to subway or one set to steam or set to switcher.  Is that correct?

Ok thanks guys

I thought we settled this here?

 

>>Legacy engine are absolute so each speed step is linear.

Sorry Marty, not quite correct.  Speed steps are closer together relative to track speed at the low end, and at higher speed steps produce a larger speed change.

Non-Linear.
