My permeant layout is set up with a legacy command base/remote in a different city. I would like to get another remote for at the house for testing/running any trains I have here. My question is, would I be able to take it to the out of town layout and use it as a slave/expansion legacy system rather than the main system and have two remotes? Is this possible, or would they interfere with each other without one being the expansion set? Thanks for any help in advance.

It would be two #990 sets together rather than a #990 and expansion to clear up any confusion.
The CAB2's are identical for all kits. The Expansion Base has a battery charger, but it does not have the circuitry for receiving the CAB2 signal and converting that into a signal for the track.
Your remote will work just fine both places, and it will come up with the appropriate train data stored in the Base at each location.
you would be doing exactly what I do now. the wife and I each have our own Cab2's. makes for a great run, we each control our own trains.
