Setting Speed w/Cab2 for TMCC Loco

Setting the speed limit, is the same for TMCC and legacy.

Check to see that the Train Brake Slider is not below half way, this will limit the top speed. The further down this is, the slower the top speed of the loco will be.

The "train brake slider", is actually a "train loader" so-to-speak. It creates the illusion of a load for legacy locomotives slowing them down and making them sound like they are working harder. Turning the throttle higher against the load indicated on the screen will also increase the laboring sounds, and make it harder to gain speed. Lighter drift sounds will occur when the train brake is lessened. Its a neat effect that simulates realistic train situations.

The "train brake slider" will not effect the load and drift sounds on a TMCC loco but it will slow it down when the load is increased.

** Be sure your TMCC loco is setup under TMCC Mode on the cab 2. TMCC Mode operates TMCC locos much smoother than the default, CAB1 Mode.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the reply. I'll check out your suggestions when I get home from work tonight. On my way into work, on the train, I was reviewing the Legacy manual and from most of what I've read, it refers mostly to Legacy locomotives and only glancing on the TMCC locomotive applications.

Hi Rick,

The Train Brake Slider was all the way down. That was the answer. I didn't realize it had any effect on a TMCC engine.

Thanks,
