I would like to buy Legacy sometime in the near future but I only have one Legacy equipped locomotive. How can I upgrade a few of my conventional locomotives so they can run in command control mode?
You can’t upgrade them to Legacy(yet), but you can upgrade them to TMCC. TMCC engines can be controlled just fine under Legacy, although you don’t get all of the Legacy features.
www.digitdynam.com and www.electricrr.com will supply you with the necessary electronics to do this. Either one is great to buy from and great to deal with, and about comparable in price. Both also supply detailed step-by-step instructions for installation.
Aren’t there Electric RR products in Lionel’s catalog?
Yes but I buy direct from ERR. I have let DD go to the wayside. Great guy but hard to contact. ERR TMCC is easy to install and is compact. Get the Sound Commander Combo. You get TMCC, sounds and cruise.
