Legacy Crane Cars

Rick, in order to get all the effects for the boom car, you have to talk to it in Legacy mode.  That would not work for the crane.  I don't know if you could drop the Legacy R4LC in there and get it to work, I do have a spare...

I remember that Rudy has already commented on this point. He said that Lionel was working on a method to pair a TMCC a crane with a Legacy boom car. It was on another crane thread a few weeks ago. This might in part account for the delivery date being pushed back to the end of this year.

P.S. Found the thread, which is here:

He says that Lionel are aiming to make the new Legacy boom cars work with the TMCC cranes without having to switch CAB2 settings.

That's great, I'll be looking for the new boom car to go with my crane.  Since I don't believe much (if anything) has changed for the crane, no reason to take the loss trying to sell that.

Yeah, it's good for current owners of the cranes that the new ones won't have anything additional that would tempt them to lay out dough for one. As for the boom cars, for my taste, the current TMCC sound versions sound plenty good, certainly good enough for me.

Sometimes it's good to have low standards. 

I'm hoping there are more folks with low standards, because I'll be looking to sell my MOW boom car!

Wow, for some reason I can hear that being said in a back room of an O guage manufacturer

I'll tell my friends. They all have low standards.  

As long as their wallet's are full, it's good.
