LEGACY and Command Control Remote
Operations
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the LEGACY Base and connect it to the
track.
2. Place your reefer car on the track.
3. Increase track power (no more than 18 volts AC).
If a circuit breaker trips when you
turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your reefer car 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.
4. Moving your Vision Reefer after powering up the track automatically turns on
the sound.

Choosing an ID for your VISION Reefer
Y
our VISION Reefer Car is designed for operation with the Lionel LEGACY system. It will also
operate on the original Lionel Trainmaster System (TMCC1) with limited features and also
on the LEGACY Cab-1L / Base-1L operating system (again with reduced features.) Using a Lionel
LEGACY set (6-14295) will allow you to access ALL the features this reefer car has to offer.
Your commands are sent by the Remote Controller to the Command Base, which broadcasts a
radio frequency that is distributed through the outside rails of the track to your sound equipped reefer
car. Moving your train after you power up your track will turn the sounds on.
T
he VISION Reefer must be given a unique Engine ID. Use the Program / Run switch and follow
the instructions on Page 4. Setting it to the same LEGACY or TMCC ID as the locomotive pulling
it will result in undesired operation. Once a unique ID is set, the VISION Reefer should be assigned to
a train along with your locomotive.
If you have more than one VISION Reefer, for best results set them all to unique ID’s. You may
also choose to set them all to the same ID. In this case, set one reefer’s min/max switch to the MAX
position (see page 5) and all others to MIN.
