How well does Train America Studios Engineer on Board work under Legacy control?

TMCC engines that have EOB upgrades usually have four chuffs per revolution which is a real plus in my opinion.  The only problem I have is the delay built into the EOB combined with the delay built into the Legacy control (ramp up to speed) causes more delay in response than I like but I have gotten pretty used to it.

If I were you, I would certainly run them for several weeks before I made any changes,

Hope you enjoy your new purchases.

All my Sunset/3rd Rail steam locomotive models, equipped with EOB, plus two Lionel articulateds up-graded to EOB in order to get 4-chuffs per revolution, operate MUCH better with the Legacy Cab-2. I don't know why, and I don't care why either.

You can also tinker with the EOB parameters to improve the performance (or make it worse).   If you don't have the EOB installation/operation manual, I can attach one to a post here, I've sent it to several people.

Thanks for the input everyone. John, that would be great actually, thank you!

John,

Would you mind forwarding me an EOB manual--something I missed out on back then.

Thanks,

Norm Rish

john is a geat guy!!  Id just bought a EOB with railsound..going to try to install it in my 3rd rail PRR S1 Duplex plus buy the S1 lionel sound board.John sent me a maunal for it...I'd been reading this has 4 chuffs per revolution great for a 4 piston steamers!!

Actually a S1, T1, Big Boy etc. would more often than not exhaust at some cadence of eight not four.  Only if both sets of drivers slip into sync would the exhaust rate be four. Four pistons times two exhaust equals eight.

from what i was told from a lionel tech lionels S1 only gives 2 chuffs prerevolion..4 chuffs is better then 2 chuffs
