Legacy Options

The steam and diesel options are for specific products that have a different speed curve.  I know the original Vision Line Genset was configured as a diesel switcher, and it has VERY good low speed performance.  I believe the B6b steam switcher is properly configured as a steam switcher.  AFAIK, the only difference is the different scale speeds at a specific speed step on the Legacy remote.  The settings have no meaning with TMCC, at least none that I can observe.

John is spot on.  I'll further add, if you put a switcher in a lashup, it automatically switches to the standard speed curve. When it's not in a lashup it reverts back to its switcher speed steps. I have the genset and the b6sb, both configured as switchers. They have great low speed performance.

Right, forgot to mention that.

I realized my 0-6-0 doesn’t lashup with anything and that’s configured as a normal steamer, I think the gearbox is just too unique. Sucks tho I really wanted to lashup 89 and 31.

What 0-6-0?  Be specific as to the product number so we know what we're dealing with.

Did you just program it as a normal Legacy locomotive?  What actually happens exactly when you try to do a lash-up with #89?

Yes it’s programmed as a Legacy Steam locomotive. When I try to lash them up 31 falls way behind and 89 has to attempt to pull it.

Not sure what is going on there, I have the #89 and it's run fine with the #90, but I don't have the #31.

I think someone mentioned the gear reduction on the Legacy 0-6-0s are different than that of regular Legacy. I thought maybe setting it to steam switcher would help but it doesn’t respond to any commands when set as such

Well, not having one to experiment with, I'm kinda' out of the loop.  Sounds like a question for Dave Olsen @Dave Olson
