Well, as the subject line hints at, I had an unfortunate incident this morning with my Legacy remote. I was repairing some wiring under the train table and i had my remote with me as I was using the remote to help diagnose an issue I was having. Any way, when I came up from under the table I grabbed the remote from under the table and found the screen damaged.I apparently leaned on it while looking at something under the table.It looks like a golf ball hit it. The remote still functions as it should;however, it looks bad. 62 yrs old and still learning: pay attention to what I'm leaning against while under the table and be careful with the remote.I've had it for over ten years. This is unfortunate indeed. I know I can use my Iphone.I like the Legacy remote.

Contact Lionel customer service. They still have parts for these.
If your lucky, maybe they will fix it under warranty. If not, I'm sure it will be way cheaper than buying another one.
Wait till your 76 and have a hard time bending over at all…….."
Rich, 3 back fusions and bad knee. I can still pee ok.
those days are rushing at me at what seems 1000mph!

I didn't know that Lionel sold parts for the Legacy system, remote or base.

I do hope you can get it fixed. Resellers are getting more $1300 for new ones on eBay.
