@Jerryc86 posted that the new release was out!  All credit for the find goes to him! Thanks Jerryc!

Thought I'd post the direct link with the 1.72 in the title.

Here is the direct link for download!  This is a Cab2 only update.  Both Base and Cab files are included but if you are already at base 1.6 you only need the Cab file. You will need the LSU software and at least 1 writable module either black or GRJ's instructions to modify a blue one.

Legacy 1.72

ReadMe_LEGACY_Cab2_v1_72.txt this file

BAS2-v160.bas2 the Base internal software upgrade code (LEGACY System Utility required to load)
CAB2-v172.cab2 the CAB internal software upgrade code (LEGACY System Utility required to load)

The Cab2 changes made from v1.70 were as follows:
---------------------------------------------

• Fix issue with Legacy crane type
• Added new sound type for future Legacy cranes
• Additional optimizations for Base3 compatibility

IMPORTANT NOTES
---------------
If you are currently running LEGACY 1.1 or earlier, contact customer service before attempting to upgrade.
If you are currently running LEGACY 1.2, your engine roster and other settings will be erased during the upgrade and must be re-entered.
If you are currently running LEGACY 1.3 or later, the 1.72 upgrade will not erase your settings. However, we still recommend using the LSU software to back up your LEGACY database before upgrading. (see LSU manual, page 10).

Just upgraded, thanks for the info.

Lol - upgrade another obsolete device….Sell sell sell the market is high…

I recommend you do just that with all your Lionel locomotives and control systems.  That way you won't have any reason to hang around and bug us about how obsolete all our equipment is.

Lol - It is a big issue…..the parts….for everyone else, too.  John, the changes lately are not just customer related. I have two dealers that are friend of mine. They are ready to toss in the towel themselves with some of “L” decisions. So, it is more then complaining about parts. You might see the demise …..of more then parts..

This thread has nothing to do with the current Lionel Parts issues.  Please if you don't have anything to add to the topic then just move on.  There are other threads as you well know where you can post about parts.

Thanks for the find. I know folks were waiting for this!

Updated my CAB-2 (though it still doesn't seem to control my wife).

Thanks Jerry and Marty!

You need a more refined control system for that task!

I use DCS to control my wife.  It works really good as it always tells me "Wife not found".  That Mike Wolf is a genius.

Indeed!

Hey  Jerry and Marty

Thank you guys so much for the Link to Lionel V1.72.  Just updated both my CAB2's without incident. Went very Smooth!

Thanks again,

So the only two things this does, is for a crane and the new Base3. Nothing else?  I'm thinking there will be more updates to go along with the Base3 when it gets released.

According to Dave they already put some programming in on the last update too.

Hi Marty,

You kindly updated my Cab2 a few years ago at York.  My friend was wondering if you'd be willing to do the same for him in a couple of weeks?  I think he is still at 1.3, maybe??

Thank you.
