After working just fine for several years, here's what's happening now on my DCS+TMCC+Legacy RR:
1. DCS on MTH engines: Works fine
2. TMCC on TMCC engines: Ditto.
3. DCS on TMCC engines: [Suddenly] VERY POOR. The engine often stops dead; for no apparent reason. It even stops multiple TMCC engines running. This behavior also occurs when given a command such as BLOW HORN, or CHANGE SPEED.
4. A FINAL blow: Unders DCS control, I experienced a MAJOR problem: Several TMCC engines that were on the RR but not powered-up suddenly launched at full speed and crashed! It was as if they were operating under conventional control at full track voltage….
My ad hoc ‘fix’ was to disconnect the cable between the Lionel Legacy Base and the associated TIU. Result: A return to items 1 & 2 above. No surprise.
Now I need to determine the root cause of the DCS-on-TMCC engines problem……and I solicit your advice.
