Programming Legacy Engines Back in the Legacy Base after kindly Lionel Repair and upgrading!

Dave, that is one very cool train room.  Well done.

MartyF,

   Coming from you that is high praise, thank you sir very much, she is about 1/2 way constructed at the present time.

Too bad you couldn’t have backed up the base before shipping it off to Lionel to be repaired.  Recovery would only take about a minute.

Don't overthink it. If you can log on to this forum, you can manually enter a loco into the legacy remote.

When compared to the average smartphone, the Legacy handheld is extremely low tech.

RickO,

Thanks for the Lionel educational video, I definitely needed it.  Looks like I will also need to pick up a FT Programming Track also.

Just so you know I do not own a Smart Phone either!

MRMOE50,

Do not know how to back up the Legacy Base, maybe MartyE can show me how to due this when he pays me a visit sometime after York.  

I appreciate the help and suggestions form you gentlemen very much!

Dave,

You may want to get comfortable with backing up and recovering your Legacy base.  With your recent purchase of another base from a forum member, if you take regular backups after changes to your primary base, you can recover it to your backup base should you encounter any issues with your primary.

Gary,

   Now that sir is a seriously good idea!

RichO, MartyE and Gary,

Now when I manually program my TMCC JLC GG1 into the Cab2, do I enter it as TMCC or Legacy, this Engine has the Odyssey System with Rail Sounds 5.0.  I think I remember programming this engine as a Legacy Engine for some reason.  

I am actually starting to like messing around with this programming stuff, it's like a sickness!

PCRR/Dave

It would be as TMCC.

MartyE,

   When I pick up a FT Sensor Track, will it ( work ) Program both Legacy and TMCC  Engines or just Legacy Engines only.

Thanks for letting me know to enter the GG1 as TMCC.

PCRR/Dave

Just Legacy engines with a IR sensor in them.  Early Legacy engine before or around 2012 do not have the IR sensor and require using the module or manual entry.  All of the pre sensor Legacy engines had modules.

Marty E,

  Thanks once again for the knowledge.  Now where can I get one of these FT Sensor Tracks for a reasonable cost?

PCRR/Dave

Gentlemen,

   Thank you all for helping me get these TMCC/Legacy Engines reprogrammed into the Legacy Base.  The TMCC JLC Odyssey GG1is on the ceiling shelf layout pulling a Tin Plate Consist, will post pictures for you in a little while.

RickO,

I saved this entire thread because you posted Lionel Dave's Instructional Programming Video in it.  For some reason my Mac will not let me save just the Lionel Programming Video by itself.  Thanks much again for providing it!

Next I have to reprogram the 249ERR back into the Cab2/Legacy Base.  Guns had a full step by step instruction sheet he worked up for me, can't find it right now.  This home movement has been a nightmare for finding certain individual items.

Pictures of the Scale TMCC JLC GG1 Pulling & Pushing a Tin Plate Consist on the shelf ceiling layout.  The big girl runs smooth as glass on FasTrack!

The Scale TMCC Odyssey Brunswick GG1 has to be a city block long, pulls well also.
