Here is the response from Lionel:

Edward,

 

If you send the SC-2 to us we can fix it so that you can use 6 switches.  Otherwise the manual is correct because port 1 cannot be used for switches.

 

Thank You,

By the manual being correct I assume they mean the O-90 switch manual, because that is not what is in the SC-2 manual, and it sure is not what is shown in the Mike R. video.

I am confused as to how to use the SC-2 with Fastrack switches. The manual for the SC-2 says it can control up to 6 switches. I watched Mike Regan on the Lionel SC-2 page wire a Fastrack switch to the first position on the SC-2.  I then read in the manual for a Fastrack O-60 switch and it said the SC-2 can only control 5 switches and to "NOT" use position 1.  I am confused

On a Cab2 when setting up a TMCC based engine, what is the difference between the choice of setting it up as Cab1 or TMCC?

Thanks,

Dave,

Thank you for the reply.  From what I can see, the one that came in the set has lighted number boards and railsounds 5.0.  The other one looks like it does not have lighted number boards and it only said it has railsounds. Since it was produced in 2002 what version of railsounds might it have as the manual does not state.

Thanks,

Ed

Could some tell me the difference between Santa Fe U28 CG 6-182293 (2002 Vol. catalog) and the Santa Fe 6-28249 (I believe part of the 6-31748 train set 2007 Vol. 1).  I know the paint schemes were different, I am talking electronically, railsounds, etc. 

Thanks,
