Legacy remote question.

I had my LEGACY Remote go dead after 3 Years. I received an RA, sent it in, and had a new one back in less than a week.. The Remote you are talking about is a CAB1-L. it won't be out until Mid-Year.  Keep your present one!!!  If you want a backup, purchase a #993 Expansion Set. You will be a whole lot better off!!!

I don't think its any different, it appears that the knob has a silver logo but I think thats just the image being used. The recent batch of remotes was shipped some time ago and the only difference is the software version 1.4 versus 1.3.

An expansion set is one way to go you only need one base and you already have that, the expansion set base is stictly a charger. Keep in mind you'll likely have to upgare the software in the expansion set as many of these are older as they don't sell like the command set. I believe many of the expansion sets are 1.2.

I get a bit nervous with my kids holding the legacy remote with the glass screen. I'll probably be looking into the simplified Legacy Cab 1L Fred mentioned as an extra remote especially for the kids.

I attached a wii remote strap to my legacy handheld.

Wish they had gone with Gorilla glass like some of the smart phone manufacturers. It is unbreakable.

Hi Bigdodgetrain,

It's OGaugedreamer here (Luis).  I just found the 2 car add-on your Mrs. is looking for.  Shoot me an email and I'll send the details.  My email address is in my Forum profile.  Thanks!

Gromet, good move on the 993. Worth having two controls. Got the ZW-L...awesome. Please keep us informed what you think of it and how it fits into your current setup. I do not need one but I have a feeling I will be getting one...too cool to pass up.

I grabbed a #993 some time back, it really is nice having the extra remote.  Also, the #993 base charges the remotes without getting them so hot, another bonus.

I agree with John, I have had the 993 for two years or more. Also nice to have more then one when the guys from the club come over to run trains. And great to have a remote in hand when the grand children are running the trains.

I got the second one before I'd let my grandson run the trains, and I have had to use the red button more than once!

You will get it back sooner than you think.  I dropped mine on Christmas eve and sent it out the day after Christmas and received it back in 7 days.
