Legacy 990 / TMCC instalation

You can do without it. Following the instructions in the Legacy manual, you can manually enter the necessary info into your CAB2 remote in order to operate your locomotive. 

thanks, one thing I am confused about is how to set the tmcc mode option on the info menu. do I just select it or do I have to set it somehow? thanks herb

You hit Info, Scroll twice, and press the softkey below the TMCC.  Press Info again and you're back to normal operation.  That stores the operation type for that engine in the command base.  Of course, you might want to enter the other information like Road Name, Cab Number, locomotive type, etc.  Those are all accessed in the Info menu using the scroll key.

thanks everybody for your help. this forum is such a help to us newbies. and thanks john for simplifying it for me. herb miller
