My Cab 2 Legacy rather suddenly stopped working - well at least the throttle control (all other TMCC functions OK) on ALL my engines (so I know its not them) I re-booted the 1.3 software (my system has been updated by Lionel) and tried re-setting the RL2 chips in a few engines.  Swapped in the CAB 1 on the layout to eliminate other possible issues - it worked so I conclude a legacy controller issue?  Anyone have similar problems?  Ideas?  Any thoughts most appreciated!

Thanks guys, tried new batteries and no avail....but I did re-boot the software and it seems to work now - but a caution I had Lionel do the V 1.3 upgrade and all my problems started since then.  In fact I could NOT re-boot using the V1.3 software modules- only the 1.0 version seemed to work?  Who knows -but I suspect sitting all summer somehow corrupted the software.  I like the Legacy system but cannot in good faith call is "Stable" as I have had to re-load software/reboot a few times now.

Well, the original 1.0 units had to go back to Lionel for a boot firmware upgrade.  The user can upgrade from 1.3 to any of the later versions, I've upgraded a 1.2 unit to 1.52 a couple of times.

 

The wheel not working is almost surely a hardware issue.  Note that if you're a veteran, Lionel will pay the shipping on warranty repairs both ways, a nice bonus.
