Legacy "base not found"

The remote might be on a different channel than the base. When you're on the "Base not found" screen, press the "scan" button and see if it find the base.

When I turn my Legacy base on I wait for the 3 lights on the bottom to blink across, left to right, before I turn anything else on.

Thanks Dave & Jeff; I got the engine running but the remote says CAB-1. How to change to CAB-2?  Thanks.

If you use the orange module, it will do it automatically.

Otherwise, you can do it manually. This video shows how:

Thanks Dave; very helpful. And I need to keep reading and playing!

Wally,

Play & Play, that is the answer! I had one of the first Legacy 990's issued, and it was so New, no one knew the answers! So play, my friend ! You can read the Manual cover to cover which might help a little, but the only way to learn is by doing "Hands On" !!!! At least now it's been a number of years the System has been out, and you can ask questions!!  Someone will have the answer on this Forum, most from practical experience!! Enjoy "Legacy" it is fun!!!!

Regards

Fred

Wally,

   Welcome to the Legacy world, you are going to love it!  Command Control FasTrack switches and all!  Run both Legacy and DCS for the ultimate ride.

Thanks Fred & Dave;

   Yes I want to "play" but when it's not intuitive and complex sequences are involved, it's frustrating. Will try some more before relegating myself to LC+.

Good job Dave.  Many people panic over this and it is very easy to do.

Thanks guys;

Helpful to me: read the manual, work with the Remote with some baby steps, read the manual again, this time making notes of relevant sections/related sections (this helped to put the pieces together, which are somewhat scattered in the manual, like p. 74). 

It was great to see the AC6000 move out the first time, even though it was on CAB-1.

Onward and upward to full Legacy operation. 

Wally

Wally,

   There are also Lionel Legacy teaching films you might want to view, right on line.  IMO the Legacy HHRC is one of the best engineering advances in Lionel history and their is nothing like the Lionel low voltage, FasTrack Command Control Switches, operated wire free from the Legacy HHRC, as many as 99 on track power.
