How do you know if your lionel engine has railsounds 5 and which setting to use in the legacy handheld. What happens if you use the 100 speed step rating on a lionel tmcc engine?

If I remember correctly the RS5 was the first one where you could understand what the engineer was saying in the cab chatter. Using REL100 won't break anything, but its best to use TMCC for TMCC engines
Best thing though is go look at Lionel's website and get the details about your engine
If the engine has a third party cruise control, aka NOT Lionel Odyssey, then you may want to set the engine's mode to CAB-1 and access the additional speed steps this way. In general, an engine with just a TMCC receiver and no aftermarket cruise will only have 32 speed steps available and should be set that way on the CAB-2. If you have a TMC with Odyssey 1 you set the engine to TMCC.
