LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
Welcome to the world of LIONEL LEGACY Command Control. Congratulations
on your purchase of this new operating system. It is the system others will be
judged by in the years to come.
The LIONEL LEGACY Control System controls every product made over the
history of LIONEL, 107 years at this date, in a way that is superior to any control
available. It is truly the LIONEL LEGACY Control System.
Contemporary control systems for all model train gauges have been developed
over the years to enhance your experience with electric trains. Command control is
the most advanced way to control a layout and many operators are using command
control systems on their layouts today.
This system is different. It integrates all of the new effects that LIONEL has
made so popular. Sounds, smoke effects, servo-controlled speed and more are
easily accessed during the normal course of operation. The LIONEL LEGACY Con-
trol System makes these features and effects available to you in an unprecedented
variety of operating possibilities.
The LIONEL LEGACY Control System improves operation of every LIONEL ever
made, starting in 1900. Enhanced speed resolution brings new realism to our pre-
war and post-war products, whether they are the originals that made history, or the
TMCC equipped engines and operating cars that celebrated our heritage by bring-
ing the latest technology to these great products. This control system is another
milestone in LIONEL history.
The LIONEL LEGACY Control System improves all of the interfaces operators
have become accustomed to using with modern command control trains. The
new real-time "quilling" Whistle-Horn control is a great example. In place of our
pioneering original method, pressing a button and triggering an onboard sound
device, or hearing a pre-recorded sound from an electronic source, the LIONEL
LEGACY Control System pioneers new control of the warning sounds through a
spring-loaded lever that makes it possible for you to "play" the whistle just like
real engineers did in the hey-day of steam operations. But that's not all. You will
also experience revolutionary new ways of controlling brake, boost, bell, direction,
switches, routes and more. It is all new.
The LIONEL LEGACY Control System is here! Congratulations! You are onboard
and right on time!

LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
V1.4 Feature Summary
The V1.4 release improves usability, stability and adds some new features based on
feedback from users and requirements to support future products. Below is a list of the
major enhancements and differences from V1.2 and V1.3.
Faster Boot Up
•The remote splash screen has been removed to speed up the time it takes
to power up a remote. In addition, the remote remembers the last addressed
device when booting up.
ekarb-otuAdevorpmI
•Velocity throttle controlled autobrake has been improved. The new behavior
of auto-brake allows you to control the brake sounds intensity, much like the
legacy brake rocker. The more you turn the knob below zero the brake sounds
increase.
Base Serial Improvements
•The base now has the ability to be accessed via serial port. This allows LIONEL
computer applications to read and write the internal memory and/or memory
module. LIONEL computer applications are not available as of this writing.
Improved Radio Driver
•The communication link between the base and remote has been improved in
both distance and reliability.
Manual RPM control
•Manual RPM control has been added that creates control similar to TMCC
manual RPM mode. See page 20 for more details on how to use this feature.
Improved RPM control in TMCC engines.
•Train brake no longer causes TMCC engines to ramp down the RPM, and using
high momentum with TMCC engines no longer causes the RPM to change over
time. RPM's will only change when you turn the knob.
Routes
•All routes are now double digit. This gives you time to view the route name
before ring the route. It also allows them to be con gured in the same manor
as all other devices (Scroll, addressing history, info, name). See page 69 for more
information on this feature.
Engine Queue
•The CAB now has an ‘engine queue’. This system allows changes to continue
in the background. When you have an engine or train that has not reached its
target speed and you ‘deselect it’ (change to another engine or leave the main
operating screen) the queue will take over controlling that engine. Currently the
queue will run up to 5 engines in the background. See page 58 for more details
on this feature.
Labor (EFX) Bias Control
•More labor can now be applied without affecting the speed of the train. Two
new touchpad keys have been added on the speed page to control this feature.
See page 30 for more details.
Page 5

LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
sepyTenignEcificepS
•Additional device types have been added to the ENGINE INFO page to support
the new TRAIN LINK function. See page 57 for more details.
Engine Info Page Improvement
•The ENGINE INFO screen has been streamlined to make it simpler to use. In
addition, Memory Modules can now just be inserted to be recognized. See page
46 for more details.
Train Builder Improvements
•SOUND MASKING has been implemented giving the ability to move the dialog
and horn output on the newest LEGACY engines and some TMCC/LEGACY
combinations such as Super Roar. See page 61 for details.
•TRAIN LINK has been implemented to give quick access to operating cars
within a train. TRAIN LINK devices are indicated with a LINK over the engine
icon. See page 28 for more details.
•Each train device has a graphic representation in the consist. For example, if
you add a crane, you see a crane icon. See page 64 for more details.
•HYBRID MODE support has been implemented for the Super Bass Roar Unit
sihT)raerniedomYCAGELnitinUraoRssaBrepuS,daehsaenigneCCMT(
will output labor commands in TMCC mode to trigger the Super Bass Roar Unit.
See page 62 for more details.
•Support for LEGACY Switchers has been implemented. If a switcher is lashed
up with other LEGACY engines, they will all run at the same speed and allow
LEGACY switchers and road engines to run in a lashup. See page 62 for more
details.
•AUTOMATIC SPEEDLIMIT has been implemented to resolve lashing problems
with engines having different top speeds. See page 62 for more details.
•Accessories can be placed in a consist and accessed with TRAIN LINK. See
page 65 for more details.
•The name of engine will be displayed in the Train Builder. See page 61 for more
details.
•The htiwsenigneddaotredliuBniarTnidesuebwonnacsyekllorcsdnatceles
ease. See page 64 and page 65 for more details.
•ENGINES CAN NOW EXIST IN MULTIPLE TRAINS making it easier to manage.
See page 62 for more details.
Additional Icons
•Several new icons were implemented into the LEGACY software for Legacy
passenger and Acela cars for lighting scenes and Speed Control for the Acela
Power management for extended battery life
•Cab-2 Remote Controller will turn off sooner, preserving batteries; new
selections for 15, 30, and 60 minutes to power off state
.

LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
SETTING UP
Here's How
Take your system out of the box and become familiar with the contents. There
are three available options for connecting the transformer and base to your track.
Choose the right one that ts your layout.
• Direct Connection
• Using a TPC controller
• With a LEGACY and TMCC base
First, connect your LEGACY Command Base/Charger binding post to both
outside rails on the track using a single wire (or the solid black wire on your Fas-
track terminal track). Ensure the Command Base cord is connected to a properly
grounded 3-prong socket.
Connect wires as shown in diagram above. Check out the diagram and see
if you have everything right. The lights should be on. Remember, this system
requires a three-prong socket for power.
It is not necessary to add your new engine to your system's roster now. (You can
just operate it as engine #1 to get started quickly.) Later on you can add it to your
roster of engines by giving it a unique ID# using the directions that came with
your new locomotive or refer to page 54 in this manual.
Note: Your new LIONEL LEGACY Control System equipped engine comes with a
factory ID# 1 and will respond to that address immediately.
Direct Connection
Page 7
LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
"Clean and Lubricate Your Equipment" "Wipe Your Track Regularly"
LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
LEGACY Base with a TMCC Controller
Use the Direct Connection instructions on page 6 to connect up the LEGACY
Command Base/Charger to your track. Then connect wires between the TPC and
the LEGACY Command Base, the TPC and the track, and the TPC and Power Sup-
ply as shown in the above diagram.
With this conguration, you will be able to control the power supply to your
track through the CAB-2 remote.
Using a TPC Controller
Note: The above 6-14191 Command
Base Cable a separately sold item.
Note: The 6-14194 TPC
Cable Set is a separately
sold item.

LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
"Clean and Lubricate Your Equipment" "Wipe Your Track Regularly"
LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
Lionel LEGACY Control System and TMCC Dual set-up
Some operators may wish to continue using their TMCC CAB-1 remotes along with their
CAB-2 to control Power-Masters and all other Lionel products, even "Lionel LEGACY Control
System Equipped" Engines.
Power-Master Bridge
A separate component called the #994 Power-Master Bridge (#6-24279) is required to
operate a Lionel Power-Master with the Lionel LEGACY Control System CAB-2 and Command
Base/Charger.
Sharing Control
Two operators, one with a CAB-2 and one with a CAB-1, should not operate the same Engine
or Train simultaneously. It is not recommended to "go between" CAB-2 and CAB-1 while
operating the same Engine or Train. Doing this will make the graph on the CAB-2 incorrect.
Two Systems at Once
It is possible for operators with CAB-1 to control any Engine or Train while other operators
with CAB-2 control any other Engine or Train. Switches and Routes can still be thrown, but
remember the limits of TMCC and CAB-1. A TMCC CAB-1 can only throw Routes 1-9 and
control Trains 1-9. The higher addresses (10-99) must be reached with a CAB-2.
The "Y" cord that comes with your Lionel LEGACY Control System makes it possible to
continue using your CAB-1 alongside your new Lionel LEGACY Control System. Set it up like
the diagram below. The "Y" cord also allows for RS232 (DB9) connection to your computer
for future applications.

then power up the track. Then "address the engine" so it can be controlled by your
CAB-2 remote and learn to use the Velocity Throttle,
Whistle, Bell, Brake and Direction commands.
Location
For smaller layouts you can locate the LEGACY
system anywhere on the layout.
For a large model railroad layout, the best position
ehtotesolcsasiesaBdnammoCYCAGELruoyrof
center of your model railroad as you can get. This gives
maximum communication strength to every corner of
your layout. The signal strength of the CAB-2 allows
you to communicate 30 feet. If you have a bigger
layout, or need to relocate the reception point due to

help. See page 80 for a list of factory spec'd antennas.
Experimentation for most advantageous position is
recommended in system limit conditions.
Setting Up
Before you begin to run trains, make sure the
LEGACY Base is plugged in, powered up and con-
nected to the track as illustrated in the "Setting Up"
diagram on page 6.

is on page 80. It is alright to leave your LEGACY Base
powered on to charge the CAB-2 .
Power Up The Track
.dohtemtcerrocroflaunamWZro,CPTotrefeR
With your engine on the track and ready to roll, power-up your track to a constant 18
VAC. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the LIONEL power supply, check the
wheels of your locomotive and any cars to make sure they are all securely on the track.
Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.

Page 12
LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
"Clean and Lubricate Your Equipment" "Wipe Your Track Regularly"
LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
Address Your Engine
First, you must address the engine. This "tells" your CAB-2 which locomotive
you want to control. This is important when you have more than one engine on
your layout.
NOTE: CAB-2 will revert to CAB-1 mode for any engine, train or accessory UNLESS you enter the
options for that addressed unit either manually or with a memory module. (See page 46 or page 74
respectively)
To address an engine with an ID# of 1:
Start 'Er Up
Now it is time to start up your engine's sound system.
To start the engine's RailSounds system, Tap Start-Up on the Touch-Screen
or any action key (Whistle, Bell, Velocity Throttle, etc.)
Your engine sound system will start up and the Touch-Screen Control Panel
will appear.
NOTE: Press and Hold Start-Up and you will hear Tower-Comm or Crew-Talk
before engine start.
1. Press ENG 2. Press 1 3. Press Start Up
Quick Start (continued)
Note: Refer to your Engine Manual or page 54 for the procedure to CHANGE THE
ENGINE ID.
Page 13

LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
4. Turn the Velocity Throttle clockwise
a small amount. Your engine will begin
to move.
5. Experiment with the engine’s
response to the Velocity Throttle. Turn
the Velocity Throttle clock-wise and
counter-clock-wise.
6. Slow and stop your engine by
turning the Velocity Throttle counter-
clockwise.
7. Press the Multi-Controller
once. Your engine's lights will
change directions.
8. Experiment with
Boost and Brake.
Notice how your engine
responds to the Multi-
Controller.
Quick Start (continued)
THE VELOCITY THROTTLE
The Velocity Throttle (that big red rotary knob in the middle of your LIONEL
remote) is used to start your engine moving, slow it down or speed it up. Use it
simply by turning it clockwise (speed up) or counter-clockwise (slow down).
THE MULTI-CONTROLLER
Direction
The direction of your engine
toggles between forward and
reverse at the touch of the
Multi-Controller.
Boost & Brake
Boost and Brake give you another way to control the speed
of your train. Boost gives your loco a temporary increase in
tractive power, and returns to the previous speed when you
release the control, while the Brake command slows you
down quicker than the Velocity Throttle alone and holds
your speed at the adjusted level (if "Hold Braked Speed" is
programmed in the system settings, refer to page 49 for more
details).
Note: Make sure that the Train Brake slider is moved up to the "-" or the engine will be sluggish or not move.
See page 14 and page 23 for more informatiom on the Train Brake.

Page 14
LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
"Clean and Lubricate Your Equipment" "Wipe Your Track Regularly"
LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
Quick Start (continued)
THE TRAIN BRAKE SLIDER (Does not apply to CAB-1 mode)
A Train Brake is used to slow down and limit the top speed of your train by adding a load.
The more the Train Brake is applied by pulling the Train Brake Slider down, the more
laboring is heard from the engine. Applying more Train Brake will eventually slow down the
train and it is even possible to stop a train by pulling the Train Brake Slider all the way down
to the "+" symbol.
A tremendous amount of laboring can be heard whenever you apply the Train Brake in a
large amount.
9. Experiment with the Train Brake. Try a small
amount of the Train Brake when your engine is
moving down the rails at a medium speed
THE WARNING SOUND CONTROLLER
Warning sounds are an important part of LIONEL Railroading. Your LIONEL LEGACY
Control System equipped engines have a real-time variable "quilling" whistle and horn
(LIONEL TMCC engines do not have this feature).
10. Blow the
Horn/Whistle by pulling
down on the Warning
Sound Controller.
11. Try pulling down
the Warning Sound
Controller various
amounts and listen.
Notice the difference
in intensity of the
Whistle or Horn.
12. Push the Warning Sound Controller up
once and quickly release. Notice that the
bell rings once.
13. Push the Warning Sound Controller up
and hold it for 1 second. Notice that the
Bell is sounding continuously.
14. Push the Warning Sound Controller
up once. Notice that the continuous Bell
stops.
15. Experiment with ringing the Bell in your
own rhythm or continuously, depend-
ing on how you push the Warning Sound
Controller

release of a different RR Speed key.
19. Tower Comm dialog occurs each time you
press and hold a RR speed key.
20. The speed of the engine changes as soon as
you release the RR speed key.
21. If you touch a RR speed key and release
it quickly, a speed change is enabled with no
dialog scene.
22. You can also use the Velocity Throttle and
other action controls in this mode and continue
to use Ofcial RR speeds at the same time.
23. Press AUX-1 to leave the RR speed mode and
return to the standard control panel.
24. Press the Speed Button to toggle between
the Ofcial RR Speed Control Panel and the

CAB-2 INTRODUCTION
LIONEL LEGACY addressing and controls are described in this section. This is the way
your new CAB-2 and LIONEL LEGACY Control System products will operate the rst time
you try them.
There are a lot of new features available with CAB-2. Take the time to read the following
descriptions of how the LIONEL LEGACY Control System CAB-2 controls work. It will be
helpful. Although the signal on the track is similar to Train-Master Command Control, the
command-set has been expanded. This allows for much more control of your LIONEL Rail-
road. Please note that the Touch-Screen is Glass and should be used/handled with care.

CAB-2 Introduction (continued)
SPEED GRAPH (Does not apply to CAB-1 mode)
Target Line
The black Target Line moves across
the graph quickly or slowly, depending
on how you turn the Velocity Throttle.
It indicates your "Target Speed." That is
the speed you want your train to travel.
Grey-Bar
The Grey-Bar is your engine's "Com-
manded Speed."
The Grey-Bar always seeks the target
line. The Grey-Bar moves across the
speed graph at a pre-set rate.
The Momentum setting L, M, and H, is how you decide a pre-set rate of acceleration or
deceleration for your train and the speed graph Grey-Bar on the display. Momentum setting
is default pre-set to "M," Medium.
For more info, see the Momentum section on page 27.
Train Brake
The speed graph indicates how much the overall speed capability has been trimmed by
adding the Train Brake load. Monitor the Train Brake by watching and checking the Train
Brake Indicator as you move the Train Brake Slider (see gure Speed Graph: Overview
above).
Laboring Generation
The difference between the Target Speed and the commanded speed creates a labor ef-
fect. Basically, the bigger the difference is, the more extreme the laboring effect becomes.
The laboring effects are changed by the Train Brake settings. As you apply Train Brake,
the overall laboring effects become more intense. As you release the Train Brake, the overall
laboring effects become less intense.
Summary
When your engine arrives at its "Target Speed," it holds that speed until you give it
another speed command or "Target Speed." Then the speed graph's Grey-Bar, representing
the movement of your train, moves toward its new target speed at a rate governed by the
Momentum Control setting.

direction.
The Target Line and Grey-Bar
The Target line represents the desired
speed of the train. The Grey-Bar represents
the commanded speed of the train. It is
this difference that lets you control fea-
tures like the Auto-Brake independently of
the speed of the train. Experiment with L
M and H momentum and see how it affects
your train's commanded speed compared
to the Target line.
Velocity Throttle Speed Control
Velocity Throttle Speed Control with a Low momentum setting:
1. Turning the Velocity Throttle slowly takes 4 revolutions to move the target line and Grey-
Bar from speed-step 1 to 200
2. Turning the Velocity Throttle quickly takes less than 1 revolution to move the target line
and Grey-Bar from speed-step 1 to 200
Velocity Throttle Speed Control with a Medium or High Momentum setting:
1. The target line movement is the same as with the Low
setting
2. The Grey-Bar movement is changed and moves slower
than at the Low setting
Velocity Throttle Auto-Brake
Note the Auto-Brake is optional and can be enabled
or disabled in the CTC menu options. For more informa-
tion see the CTC section on page 48.
Move the target line to speed step 0 while the
grey bar is above speed step 1
1. Trigger brake sounds during deceleration
2. Continue braking and sounds until stop is attained.
Move the target line above speed step 0
1. Stop braking sounds
Note that in Auto-Brake mode the braking rate is governed by your engine's momentum
setting. The Auto- Brake will not stop your engine faster than the momentum setting will
allow. For faster braking, use the Multi-Controller "Independent Brake" control or change
your momentum to a lower setting while underway.

Note that the rpm indicator in the speed graph (see diagram) will only change one step
until a period of time passes.
Moving the Velocity Throttle slowly will not change RPM. This allows you to change
speeds in varying amounts without changing the RPM settings more than one step at a time.
Conversely, it enables you to change the RPM levels any amount of steps without dramati-
cally changing the speed.
the manual RPM mode, the RPM will only change when the user utilizes the UP/
DOWN touchscreen keys.
To utilize this feature simply press and hold the RPM up or down arrow and the
"MANUAL RPM" message will appear indicating that RPM is in manual mode. Each
press of the RPM key (up or down) will change the RPM respectively one level. Press
and hold the RPM button again to revert back to auto mode or press the reset key.
Velocity Throttle Direction Control (V.T.D.C.)
Note the V.T.D.C. is, by default, ON. This is an optional feature that can be disabled in
the CTC menu options. The V.T.D.C. is best used with Momentum set to M3 or higher. If
Momentum is set at M2 or L it is recommended that you disable this feature. The V.T.D.C.
is another method of changing the direction of your Engine or Train in addition to using the
Multi-Controller. Experiment with this method of changing direction.
Slow the locomotive down to speed step 0 and wait approximately 1 second (listen for
an air release or steam blow down sound when the locomotive stops) then turn the Velocity
Throttle counter-clockwise up to a half of a turn. This will
1. Change the direction of the locomotive
2. Enable a let-off sound
3. Change direction of locomotive lighting
4. (On some models this will enable an engineer dialog)
Velocity Throttle Engine Laboring
Note that higher momentum levels allow more control
of the laboring effect. Experiment with different momen-
tum levels for different engines.
When the target line is above the grey bar
1. Laboring sounds will intensify as the target line is moved farther
above the Grey-Bar
2. The laboring sound is affected by the distance between the
Grey-Bar and the target line
When the target line is moved below the grey bar
1. Laboring sounds will weaken in intensity
2. Laboring sounds will gradually increase to normal (default) as
the Grey-Bar reaches the target line
Note: Adding the Train Brake will make the laboring ef-
fects more extreme.

Independent Engine Brake
In real-life, railroad engineers use Independent Engine Brakes to brake the locomo-
tive only. Independent Engine Brake Control is braking that you can hold, and adjust, and
release anytime with the Multi-Controller. When the Engine Brake is applied, RPM levels
and engine labor are reduced. When you release the Brake, the train maintains its current
speed in a coasting condition. Apply the Velocity Throttle to leave "coasting" condition and
maintain the speed with appropriate laboring level.
Turn the Velocity
Throttle one notch
1. Maintain speed and
restore normal laboring.
A Note about operating TMCC Engines:
The Boost and Brake with TMCC Engines are NOT controlled by
the graph as LEGACY is, but by the Engine electronics responding to
a command. With a TMCC Engine, the graph will stay at the speed
the engine will return to AFTER you release Brake or Boost.
Experiment with braking a TMCC Engine and watch the graph to
see how the speed returns to the graph when released. BUT, if you
stop the Engine, It will stay stopped and the Target Line will be at 0.
When you use Boost in TMCC mode against the Train Brake, the
graph stays where it was and after you release Boost the speed
returns to the setting that is still on the graph.

THE TRAIN BRAKE
In real life, a Train Brake is used to stretch out a train by applying
air brakes to the wheels of the rolling stock. In doing this, it creates
drag, which makes the engines work harder to pull the load.
Applying more Train Brake is an important part of slowing and
stopping a train.
Train Brakes are also used to stop passenger train cars from
banging together at the couplers by stretching out the train, which is
useful for providing a smooth ride for passengers.
Operating the Train Brake
The Train Brake Slider can be pulled down varying amounts and used in conjunction with
the Velocity Throttle. It can be used to stop a train.
Apply the Train Brake.
1. Introduce loading effects
2. Limit the top speed of a train
THE TRAIN BRAKE SLIDER (Does not apply to CAB-1 mode)
A Train Brake is used to slow down and limit the top speed of your train by adding a load.
The more the Train Brake is applied by pulling the Train Brake Slider down, the more la-
boring is heard from the engine. Eventually Train Brake application will slow down the train
and it is even possible to stop a train by pulling the Train Brake Slider all the way down.
Note: Check to see that the slider is moved up to the "-" or engine will be sluggish or not move.
A tremendous amount of laboring can be heard whenever you apply the Train Brake in a
large amount.

When operating with the Train-Brake, the Independent Engine Brake can be used at the
same time. See more information on the Independent Engine Brake on page 22
7. Experiment with the Train Brake. Try a
small amount of the Train Brake when your
engine is moving down the rails at a medium
speed
Notice the effect the Train Brake has on sound and
speed. Try adding more Train Brake and notice that the
Train Brake can limit the top speed available to your
engine

Train Brake and Velocity Throttle Levels
Another way to add intensity to the RailSounds load-
ing effects is by using the Train Brake Slider. You will
hear the difference as soon as you introduce the Train
Brake into the control of the locomotive. Laboring effects
become more and more intense as the Train Brake is
applied.
Eventually the Train Brake will stop a rolling train. By
using the Train Brake you can also model laboring effects
without slowing the train down. As you introduce Train
Brake watch the Train Brake indicator as it moves across
the display from right to left, making it possible for you to
judge when the Train Brake setting will impact the speed
and actually slow down or stop your train.

Labor (EFX) Bias control
Another way to add intensity to the RailSounds loading effects without affecting
the speed of the train is to set the Labor Bias. This feature is new in V1.3.
These are two new touchscreen keys that can be found in the speed page. They
allow you to increase or decrease the labor ‘offset’. All the previous laboring effects

there is the possibility of rotating the Velocity Throttle target speed to maximum with the
locomotive still traveling very slowly. The difference between this high target speed and the
actual speed of the locomotive governs the intensity of the loading effects in the locomo-
tive's onboard RailSounds sound system, putting the laboring control in the Velocity Throttle.
The higher the Labor graph rises the more intense the laboring sounds become in your
LEGACY equipped locomotives.
