TrainMaster Command Control operations
T
rainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. To
operate your locomotive in the Command Control environment, you need a Command Base
(available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which then
translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails to your
locomotive, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster Command
Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same
track at the same time.
Keep in mind that track power is like gasoline in the tank of a car—it gives you the power
to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how fast to get there.
Operating your locomotive in the Command Control environment
1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base.
Be sure that the
Command Base is connected to the outside rail or to the Common/Ground/U terminal on
your track power supply.
2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power or 19 volts AC.
On PowerMasters, slide the
CMD/CONV switch to CMD. Program Track Power Controllers to Command Control
operation.
4. Press ENG, and enter the locomotive’s unique ID#.
All Lionel locomotives come
factory-programmed as ID# 1. To change the ID#, see page 22.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out!
Your locomotive will respond to every command from
your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
