TMCC Comand Control FasTrack Switches

They are completely self-contained, just connect them to the track and start running.  Yes, they also come with wired controllers, they work just like the standard remote switches in that case.

You will need at least a TMCC Command Base and CAB1 at a minimum to run them, you can't operate them with the DCS remote.

I'd probably look at the Legacy Lite system, aka the CAB-1L/BASE-1L set.

GunRunner,

    Thanks John this exactly what I wanted to know.  John does the hand held remote come with the Legacy light System CAB 1L/BASE 1L?

Dave,

If you need to test any of your tinplate equipment, we have 036 and 072 fastrack switches on our layout with the latter being the Command Control variety.

We're in Canonsburg.

Mike

The Cab1L comes either as a base/remote set or remote only. You choice. 

And I'd certainly like to hear more about your "railroading buddy". 

Obviously, unless you already have a Legacy base or a BASE-1L, you'll want both.

graz,

   That is a very generous offer, I might just take you up on sometime.

Marty E,

   I will talk to you privately about my railroad buddy, seems you like to read.

Thanks for the education on the base/remote coming seperately.

RunGunner,

    John as usual you provide exacting knowledge, and I appreicate it greatly.

PCRR/Dave

I look forward to it!

Thanks!

I just bought the Cab 1L set. I'm going with fastrack, and I'm thinking of the command control switches for my layout. Do I need the TMCC Accessory Switch Controller to operate the switches? Or do just put them in and operate the switches from the cab 1L controller?

No.

You only need the ASC if you want to make plain old remote control non-TMCC switches command controllable via the remote.

-Dave

For the command switches, you need nothing else.

As John states, the command switches are purely plug-and-play. Just connect them to your track, program in the switch numbers, and away you go. You can even remove the wired lever switches if you wish. 

The Command Fastrack switches have been a great addition for our carpet layouts. As Nicole mentioned, we remove the wired controllers altogether for a clean set-up. Now hoping that Lionel rounds out the offerings with a command version of the uncoupler and operating track sections (assuming that they fix the ongoing quality issues with those pieces at the same time)

Ladies & Gentlemen,

   Thanks everyone for your advise, I am now in the process of pre-ordering a new Legacy to add to my DCS FasTrack layout, I have tested the WYE CC FasTrack switches with my Tin Plate and now I am adding Legacy with the recargable hand held with ability to control the CC switches from the Legacy remote. 

PCRR/Dave

Ladies & Gentlemen,

   Got to say I have run DCS on FasTrack for quite some time now, however MTH did not produce the Command Control type Switches I wanted and when Lionel came out with the FasTrack CC switches it spurred me on to adding Legacy with the rechargable hand held remote to my DCS. Further I am in the processs of up grading my DCS hand held remote, to make it rechargable also.  Now that I know the CC 072 FasTrack WYE switches will accommodate my Tin Plate Trains, I will eliminate all switch wiring form my new layouts, by using all FasTrack CC switches,  to me this is a big time advancement in our Hobby.  Pine Tree Junction these CC switches are the cooliest thing to happen in our Hobby in many many years, definitely pick up a couple and test them out for yourself.

PCRR/Dave

I plan on buying those for my layout. Thanks for the info.
