Can I use a legacy 990 base as just a charger along side my other 990 base. Having both turned on assuming the second base is not hooked to the track. Having the second base pluged in during operating sessions is no less harmfull I asume than having the main 990 base hooked to track while operating right?

Well the signal can be robust. I wouldn't be surprised if you have some issues. They specifically made the 993 for this purpose.
If I were going to do this, I'd probably connect a .01uf capacitor between the track post and pin 5 of the serial port. This will tend to attenuate the track signal and hopefully minimize the interference.
I agree with Marty however, I'd look for a #993 charging base. One issue with using the #990 for charging is the internal electronics and the heat from charging tend to really heat up the batteries in the CAB2. I specifically don't use my #990 for charging for that very reason and instead have turned off it's charger and use the #993 that's next to it.
Thanks guys.
