Legacy Speed Limit and Train

Try this for speed limit

And use your train link button to access vision line reefer coupler option. Not the main screen on cab2  Hope this is helpful.

Thanks Tedw.  When I press the rear coupler from the main train screen both couplers open - I think that only the last engine in the train should work not the front engine.

I must not have it right. Are you running more than one engine?  If so then the "lashup" created should fire the appropriate rear engine coupler from the main screen, and from the train link screen the rear coupler press will fire the reefer car  coupler and break your train at that spot. Do I understand correctly?  Ted

Tedw I am just running the ESE Steam engine and the sound car, and have set them up per the directions

Have you made sure the type of the reefer is sound freight?  If so, try deleting the train and rebuilding it.  If that didn't work, then delete the train and delete the reefer from the Legacy system and readd it.  Make sure you reassign the ID number to the reefer.

My reefer sometimes fires as well as the back of the locomotive.  Usually a complete power down fixes it for me.

I expect that the tender coupler WILL Not fire when operating as a train!!!  I ran the lashup - MTH term - with the MTH WiFi and Lionel SER2 box and the freight car coupler fired BUT the tender DID NOT - just like I expected.  What am I doing wrong when I set up the train with the Legacy controller?  Thanks

If the Locomotive and freight car are entered correctly in the Legacy system, and the train built correctly, the reefer's coupler should only fire when it's selected via Train link.  Pushing the rear coupler button should only fire the locomotive's coupler.

As for how to set it up, sorry, it's been a long while since I've done it, and my layout isn't is a runnable state so I can't go mess with it again.  Perhaps that's what I need to do this weekend...

The vision line reefer car needs to be added to the Legacy system just like an engine with number id, name, type, sound, etc, using the program/run switch on bottom of the car to set id.  Then you build a train with engine add first, then your reefer id added second, then build the train. Your Legacy system may need to be upgraded to base 1.60; remote 1.61. Although I'm not sure this is required. Here's a link to the VL reefer car manual. As you read, you will see all reefer car commands are in the train link menu.  Hope this helps.

I am running the latest software.  Thanks to this forum I found out how to set eliminate the speed limit.  I deleted the sound reefer and readded it.  Both the Legacy handheld and MTH wifi systems did not fire the tender coupler when the train rear coupler button was pushed.  Now the sound car reefer coupler fires!  In both systems my workaround was to add a nonexistant rear engine, so the sound reefer coupler doe not fire - it now only fires with the train link screen.  Thanks Bruce
