Just back from lionel

chiefOGR Forum Member

I just got my legacy 990 set back from lionel they said the serial output was ok but they replaced a lot of parts diodes etc and said the signal problem was also fixed. I have not had the chance to try it yet and do not know if they updated it to 1.4 I will try it tomorrow and see what has changed. I get having a problem with a wp heritage engine as well the sound kept getting all staticy, says they replaced the audio board. I have no complaints about Lionel service and they turned them very fast as well. Mike has that department working great and their techs are great to talk to on the phone. chief

I doubt you'll have 1.4. I got my 990 back a couple weeks ago and it still had 1.3. A new Cab 2 and some parts replaced in the base, probably to upgrade the charging circuit. I sent mine back for signal strength issues. All's well now. I can leave the 'train room' and still control the trains.

I imagine I'll get the 1.4 module with the ZW-L.

I'm in no hurry to get 1.4 myself. I'll wait until the beta testers get through with it and you guys post your report.

I don't see much that 1.4 is going to give me over 1.3, I don't have any immediate plans to replace my existing transformers. Perhaps when 1.5 comes out and I get a couple of new Legacy engines there'll be more reason.

Thats pretty much my take on but I am plenty good in the transformer department. chief

1.4 is now a production version. The Beta testing as far as I know is done.

1.4 does also add REL 100 for ERR products under control type.

I'll wait until the beta testers get through with it and you guys post your report.

OH, that would be a nice addition, I'd like to be able to get finer control of my ERR stuff in TMCC mode.

Maybe I'll get a Black Module when they are available and upgrade to see what happens. I guess I can always go back to 1.3 if the wheels fall off.
