I had to send my newer (2012) Legacy base and cab 2 to Lionel to repair sticky boost/break control.  In the meantime, I installed and restored an older Legacy base (2007).  Initially operated O.K. on version 1.4.  Upgraded base and cab 2 to v 1.52 and started having problems with lashups (TR).  Intermittently, when operating a lashup (TR), the cab 2 will start beeping, red l.e.d. flashes ... the engines in the lashup stop, horns/whistle sound and lights flicker.  Here is a list of symptoms:

 

1.  Affects both Legacy Engine lashups and TMCC engine lashups

2.  Changing the TR number on the cab 2 stops the problem, return to original lashup TR number and it will run, sometimes up to 1/2 hour, before the problem reoccurred.

3.  Does not make any difference if I am holding the cab 2 or it is sitting on the train table, problem still occurs at random intervals

4.  TMCC base (connected through Legacy base) and cab 1 work O.K. with lashups (and all other functions)

5.  I am not experiencing any problems with any other Legacy or TMCC functions.

6.  I tried returning to v 1.4, but the cab 2 would not work at all.  Reinstalled v 1.52 and problem returned as described

 

Although the Legacy base I am currently using was one of the original batch, it was upgraded by Lionel and the cab 2 was replaced by Lionel a couple of years ago.  Any thoughts on what I could try next?

 

Thanks
