Legacy track voltage control problem | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Bought Legacy set last August. Ran briefly and have been away from trains since mid-September.

Rechargable batteries in remote are 0 volts and won't charge. Oh well, I have lots of Energizer AAs.

A real problem: I have a 2003 ZW with 2 180w bricks. All is well when Legacy disconnected. With Legacy I can raise the voltage on ch D (TR 4) to ~17-18v but on ch A (TR 1) only to 3.5-4v. And in this case the measured voltage at A-U is proportional to the handle settings, e.g 4v at full throttle, ~2 at mid-point.

I think it is me not the equipment but I don't know what I might be doing wrong.

Is it possible you set the speed limit on the Legacy remote for that track? How to erase it is covered on page 35 of the Legacy manual.
