Just received my Legacy remote.. so I unhooked my three seperate cw's and hooked up a modern zw with the 180 bricks( I have two bricks and have them plugged into the correct spots... plus the jumpers). I do not have power on the a and d posts.... but I do on the two middle ones... b and c ... so what am I doing wrong?

You have to turn those on with the cab2. Hit train 1 for one and train 4 for the other.
Thanks for the reply ... do I just hit tr 1 and then address the engine? Or do I hit tr1 and then turn the wheel on the remote to turn up the juice? Because when I hit tr 1 and then the engine I still don't get any power ..
Yea hit train 1 and turn the wheel to get the power up. Then engine hit the engine number.
ok I've got power but the train seems to only run when i punch in tr 1 and then turn the wheel up... it's a tmcc engine that I addressed to the legacy and put in the generic chip and added that but it only runs when im in track 1 like conventional almost? Gosh I didn't think it was going to be this difficult.
If you wish to use the TMCC remote to control the ZW voltage for the purpose of remote control of Conventional engines you will need to master the remote operation of the ZW. But if however, you do NOT desire to use the remote to control conventional engines then follow the instructions for the ZW and change it's address to " 0 ". This will remove the ZW from TMCC control for everything but the emergency stop button and allow it to function just like a regular ZW.

ALWAYS RUN TRAINS ON 14 TO 15 VOLTS WHILE USING TMCC. IT IS HARD ON THE LIGHTS AND SMOKE UNIT IF YOU RUN THEM AT 18 VOLTS. I RUN ALL MY TMCC ENGINES ON 13 TO 15 VOLTS THEY WORK FINE.
