Congratulations!

Your layout has always been more than the sum of its parts. But until now, combining

those parts into a complete system could be a challenge. Lionel’s new Layout Control

System or “LCS,” fulfills the LEGACY promise of integrated locomotive and layout control.

What is Lionel’s Layout Control System?

LCS doesn’t replace your existing Lionel Legacy Control system. It adds to it! You can control your

layout from Lionel Cab Remote controllers or from smart devices like an Apple iPad and run

locomotives, operate track switches, accessories and lighting. Create automatic events to control

passing locomotives and other layout accessories or switches.

LCS is a modular system, with each product offering unique features. No single LCS product

will do everything and not every layout will require every type of LCS device. But a fully realized LCS

system will likely include the following:

• A Lionel Command Base (Legacy or Base-1L) for locomotive control

• LCS WiFi so you can control your layout from smart devices like an iPad®

• LCS ASC2, to operate switches, lighting and accessories

• LCS BPC2 for block power control

• LCS SensorTrack (one or more) which adds a new level of interactivity with compatible Lionel

Legacy and Vision locomotives

• LCS SER2 for computer control and use of existing Lionel serial devices like the TPC-300 and

TPC-400

How it works!

As you know, your Lionel Cab Remote sends commands to your Command Base. In turn,

the base controls your locomotives via a one-way communication link. LCS works in

parallel with your existing command base, adding a wired network of control modules. Spread

across your layout, these LCS modules operate switches, lighting, accessories and track power

blocks. LCS is bidirectional, meaning modules can send and receive commands.

And here’s where it all comes together: Since LCS can also send commands back through

the command base, LCS devices can operate your locomotives as well as your layout! For

example, a module like SensorTrack™ can make a loco blow a grade-crossing signal as it

passes. And the LCS WiFi module connects devices like an Apple iPad®to your layout so you

and your friends can easily operate switches, locos and more.

LCS ASC2 Module

The ASC2 module is designed to be connected to track switches and accessories on your

model railroad layout. Then you can control these connected switches and accessories

from a Lionel hand-held remote or a smart device such as an Apple iPad® and an LCS

WiFi module.

• When configured in switch mode, an ASC2 operates up to four remotely operated switches

from Lionel and other manufacturers.

• The ASC2 has eight Normally Open relays, with four banks of two complementary outputs.

One pair of relays will activate the “THRU” position with one set of contacts, and the other

set of contacts will activate the “OUT” position.

• Each relay is rated at 20 amps.

• When configured in accessory mode, up to eight lights, uncoupling tracks or basic on/off

accessories can be controlled.

• Accessory mode is configured as 8 normally open relays, split into two banks of four. Each

of these two banks has a common terminal feed.

Installing Your First LCS Device

The following section describes installation of a new LCS system. If you already have installed

your first LCS component, please skip ahead to the next section titled “Installing additional

LCS devices.”

When installing a new LCS system, the process you will follow depends on which (if any) Lionel

Command Base is to be connected to your LCS system. Following sections describe starting a new LCS

installation with a Legacy Base, a Base-1L or without any command base.

The LCS DB-9 Cable with Power Supply

Every LCS system requires exactly one 6-81499 LCS DB-9 Cable with Power Supply. This special

cable has three connectors: (A) a DB-9, with a “pig-tail” cable-mount power supply connector

The cable receives power from the included DC wall-pack (12VDC at 1A). Power for each LCS

device is supplied through the single LCS data cable. The LCS DB-9 Cable with Power Supply wall-

pack is capable of powering dozens and dozens of LCS devices, depending on type. An additional

power booster/cable extender is available for extremely large LCS installations.

Figure 3. The LCS DB-9 Cable with Power Supply (sold separately)

Installing a new LCS system with a Legacy Base

To install a new LCS system on a layout with a Legacy Command Base:

1. Turn off power to your layout and Legacy Base

2. Connect the DC wall-pack to the female cable-mount connector of the LCS DB-9 Cable.

3. Connect the DB-9 connector of the LCS DB-9 Cable to your Legacy Command Base.

4. Connect the LCS PDI cable end of the LCS DB-9 Cable to either connector on your LCS device,

such as an LCS WiFi or LCS SensorTrack or any other Layout Control System product.

5. Restore power to your layout and Legacy Base.

6. Plug in the LCS wall-pack power supply.

If using a Legacy command base, it must have software rev 1.52 or

higher installed.

Your system should resemble the figure below.

Once connected and powered-up, the yellow LED on the Legacy Base will blink once every second.

With this setup, you can control Lionel locomotives and Layout Control System products using

a Legacy Remote(s) and optionally CAB-1L remote(s).

If you have additional LCS devices to install, see “Installing additional LCS devices.” If not, skip

ahead to the next section of this manual, “Configuring your LCS Device.”

Installing a new LCS system with a Base-1L

To install a new LCS system on a layout with a Base-1L Command Base:

1. Turn off power to your layout and Base-1L

2. Connect the DC wall-pack to the female cable-mount connector of the LCS DB-9 Cable.

3. Connect the DB-9 connector of the LCS DB-9 Cable to your Base-1L.

4. Connect the LCS PDI cable end of the LCS DB-9 Cable to either connector on your LCS device,

such as an LCS WiFi or LCS SensorTrack or any other Layout Control System product.

5. Restore power to your layout and Base-1L.

6. Plug in the LCS wall-pack power supply.

Your system should resemble the figure below.

Once connected and powered-up, the red LED on the Base-1L will blink once every second.

With this setup, you can control Lionel locomotives and Layout Control System products using

a CAB-1L remote(s).

If you have additional LCS devices to install, see “Installing additional LCS devices.” If not,

skip ahead to the next section of this manual, “Configuring your LCS Device.”

Figure 5. Installing a new LCS system with a Base-1L

Installing Your First LCS Device

Installing LCS with Legacy AND TrainMaster Command Bases

The following instructions apply ONLY if you are using one or more original CAB-1 remotes with

a Legacy command base. It is not necessary to follow these instructions to use the CAB-1L remote

with a Legacy command base.

In order to complete this installation, you will need a CAB-1 remote, an original TMCC

Trainmaster command base, a Legacy Command Base with Legacy CAB-2 remote and the Legacy

serial Y cable (included with the Legacy command base).

This is the ONLY supported application for the Legacy Y cable. The “Command base” end

of the Legacy Serial Y cable cannot be directly connected to any accessory other than the

original TMCC TrainMaster command base.

To install a new LCS system on a layout with a Legacy Command Base, an original TMCC

Command Base and a Legacy Serial Y Cable:

1. Turn off power to your layout, Legacy Base and TMCC TrainMaster command base.

2. Connect the DC wall-pack to the female cable-mount connector of the LCS DB-9 Cable.

3. Connect the DB-9 connector of the Legacy Serial Y cable to your Legacy Command Base.

4. Connect the “Command Base” end of the Legacy Y cable to the DB-9 connector of your TMCC

Trainmaster Command Base.

5. Connect the DB-9 end of the LCS DB-9 Cable to the “Serial Comm” connector of the Legacy

Y cable.

6. Connect the LCS PDI cable end of the LCS DB-9 Cable to either connector on your LCS device,

such as an LCS WiFi or LCS SensorTrack or any other Layout Control System product.

7. Restore power to your layout, Legacy Base and TMCC TrainMaster command base.

8. Plug in the LCS wall-pack power supply.

Note!

Note! If using a Legacy command base, it must have software rev 1.52 or higher installed.

Installing LCS with Legacy AND TrainMaster Command Bases

(continued)

Your system should resemble the figure below.

Once connected and powered-up, the yellow LED on the Legacy Base will blink once every second.

With this setup, you can control Lionel locomotives and Layout Control System products using any

combination of LEGACY Remotes, CAB-1L remotes and original CAB-1 remotes.

If you have additional LCS devices to install, see “Installing additional LCS devices”. If not, skip

ahead to the next section of this manual, “Configuring your LCS Device.”
