Am certain this is a simple oversight due to unfamiliararity as I've not operated our Legacy equipment much this past year. The club layout has been under construction most of this time and not operational very often. Today I took a couple of pieces over to run and photograph and noticed that our C&O Berkshire wouldn't come on in Legacy mode - just TMCC. Also had the Legacy Santa Fe Geep pair which functioned normally.  What am I missing please? 

 

Thanks

I only had a few minutes at the layout today and was drawing a 'blank' as to what to do. Yes John, it's the Empire Builder No 2696. It has run in Legacy last fall when I first got it but it's been 6-7 month since I had it on the track.

 

That sounds familiar Jeff.

 

If I can get some time later this evening (wife's family coming for a visit) I'll set up a length of track here and try again.   I just don't remember what little I knew about operating Legacy last year when I bought it. Our  layout came down shortly afterwards and I've lost track of the way to do things with it!

 

I do have a LUGNUT shirt however...

Sam the pictures you posted begs the question is it a 2696 as pictured or is it a 2699 from the Empire Builder set as you stated?

Whew - You had me concerned for a few minutes here Ron! 

 

Just checked the Lionel site and C&O 2699 is the TMCC version from 2004.

I edited my earlier post.  Was pretty sure this one (2696) has Legacy....

Family has left and I have my room back. Its all cleaned up too (an added bonus).

 

Was able to recheck the Berkshire and set the Cab2 to Legacy. I feel silly that it was such a simple fix. Since our move I've not had much chance to operate anything in Legacy and I'm still very unfamiliar with the functions.

 

Thanks guys for all the input and suggestions. What a great Forum!
