running Legacy and TMCC

To answer your question, I would start calling other hobby shops, put a "wanted to buy" ad on the forum here and also keep an eye on e-bay.  I'd focus on calling around though.

I have Legacy and TMCC but I am curious as to why you'd want to connect them.  Is it just to avoid reprogramming things?

All new Legacy Units come packed with this cable. There is a slot for the cable in the foam that is in the Legacy System box if you purchased a new system i would contact Lionel and explain your situation to them. We run both systems on our modular layout.

I bought the Legacy system new about 3 years ago and the box did not have that cable in it.   It looks like nobody knows where the cable is.

I want to use both systems (TMCC and Legacy) together because I have a 50/50 split on engines that use both systems, and it looks too complicated to switch over to Legacy only.

If you need the cable heres the p.n. 61000RS232. Lionel has them in stock.

You couold use the cab-2 to run the TMCC engines as well as the Legacy ones. In fact, the cab-2 will operate the older TMCC engines, especially the ones with pullmor motors, that much smoother on start ups and on braking.

That Y-cable is included in all Legacy systems. If you bought your Legacy from someone else, they stiffed you on the cable.

thanks guys.    I bought the Legecy set from my LHS dealer and it came from Lionel all sealed from the factory. (but no cable)

My dealer says now that Lionel has these cables on back order for the last 6 months.

Bill, does that mean that Lionel has them now?(because u have a part number)  How would I order that cable direct from Lionel?

Go here http://www.lionel.com/CustomerService/   click on replacement parts, type the part number in the search box, in the search by box click on the down arrow and select part number and then search. You should see this

Seems to me your dealer should be ordering this for you since it was missing.

thanks Bill,  I just ordered the cable from Lionel, thanks for your part number and web site.

MartyE.... I tryed ordering this part from my Lionel dealer since Dec2011 and he kepted saying that the part was on back order from Lionel.  Don't know what that was all about, unless he's supplyer was telling him this, I don't know.
