The loco will continue to run at the speed
selected until you increase the speed by turning
the knob further round, or go slower if you turn
the knob in the opposite direction. Once you
have come to a halt, (v = 0) then there must be
a pause of at least 0.5 of a second when you
wish to change direction ( the engine driver will
need to turn his head around too).
If you turn the red knob now in the oppo-
site direction, the loco will run backwards. In the
display, the speed block will now be shown to
the left of the arrow symbol, which will now
itself be pointing downwards.
Information about the number of speed steps
can be found in the chapter
