Legacy Train Brake Not Working

Sorry subject should read train brake.

You can either load the module or input the data using the info button and scrolling thru the options. Then you will of course select LEG and the remote will operate in CAB2 and the train brake will function. It is very loose and you will at some point accidently lower it and wonder why your engine won't move .

Your title can always be edited fyi

If nobody has responded yet it can even be deleted.

As stated, the train brake slider stays where you put it, and it has very low resistance.  It's only effective in TMCC or Legacy modes, CAB1 and R100 modes ignore that setting.

Or you never use it yourself, but your grandson does. When he leaves you scratch your head and say now what's wrong, why won't this %^#$ thing run? I am wise to him now though and always check the brake first after he has been here, but he got me a couple of times with it.

Something you may not realize is, you can use the train brake on one remote and cause the guy running with the other remote to go crazy trying to figure what is happening.

Fun!!

I did not know about that one, that's a good one to know about too. I can see where that would drive someone nuts.

I'll be sure not to tell my grandson if I ever get a second remote.  Of course he will probably figure it out anyway...
