The wifi unit cost more but if you have been fighting this issue for three years it will be worth it just to make forward progress. If the LCS system is good enough you can stop there. From there you can add the SER2 and JMRI if you want more. This will get you in a good position to see what is what. It you like what you see buy the wifi module 6-81325 and 6-81499 LCS Power Supply and DB9 cable. Then download the LCS app into an ipad and build your layout onto the ipad and see if you like what it has to offer (this is free). Download the iCab into an Apple device and see if you like that interface. Some are happy with the LCS product lines and being able to control via the iphone and ipads is enough but other are wanting to have the ability to control via PC like the HO and N Scale guys. It is the easiest way to transition smart devices into their layouts. The LCS iPad application is the comparable system to JMRI but it has pluses and minuses With Lionel modelers I suggest going with the LCS system. JMRI will allow a PC to interact with the layout. Lionel has the record feature that operates much of the same functions but JMRI gives you a separate visual representation of those events. JMRI will allow you expanded control over commands being sent to the Command Base. As stated before 95% of my responses is from experience. In any case I posted the answer its up to the reader to use it on not. Notice that Gary stated he has been fighting with this for 3 years and labeled it another "Holiday Failure". Just because you are ok with running your Legacy engines at TMCC-1 level doesn't mean that others are ok with it. Just as well forget Legacy and stick with TMCC-1. There are clients that have the Legacy Big Boy that's $1699.99 It would be absurd to have them to run it as TMCC-1. To pay $1499 for an engine and not utilize those features doesn't make too much sense. It has current speed and fuel dialog playback and refueling sound effects. A 6-82534 Legacy New York Hudson cost $1499.00 some of the features are sound effects that can play out an entire trip, with warning sounds, announcements, and playback based on the movement and speed. Being that money talks lets reference it. Because you operate at TMCC you cannot utilize these speed steps. Legacy has 200 speed steps where as TMCC only has 32. ![]() Because you don't have a Cab2L system you do not know this. The LCD screen will give you the icons to control the Crane and all its features. When you have a Legacy system you must program the handheld to utilize the crane commands. Then you will see that it works "Better" when you configure it to utilize the 9 bit commands (F8). You will continue to argue that it works until you get a Cab2L system. ![]() Jim, I have both Cab1L and Cab2L on my bench and know how the programming works.
