I just upgraded to a Lionel legacy remote. When I was setting up my engines I was getting confused on what selections of control I should use for my tmcc commodore Vanderbilt and lionchief plus 2.0 docksider. Should I be selecting cab1 or tmcc control for these? The type of rail sound is also confusing, (railsounds or railsounds 5). Thank you all in advance for input.

Both the TMCC CV and the Docksider should be operated as TMCC.  This will give you the proper icons  The CV is early RS and should be set RS and the Docksider should default to RS5.

Thank you Marty, I was trying to read the manual to set everything up while my 6yr old couldn’t wait to get his hands on running the trains, it was overwhelming trying to put all the information in for the engines. It didn’t help that I have never used a legacy remote either haha.

The Docksider works better, at least IMO, using R100 mode.  It eliminates the four detents for each throttle step and still gives you the proper Icons on the CAB2.
