It is a commonly accepted practice in the United Kingdom that when a locomotive is in operation,
other than when shunting, the front of the locomotive normally faces left.This is easy to determine
when operating steam locomotives but not quite so obvious when a diesel or electric locomotive
has double cabs. As a rough guide the front of a diesel has the roof fan closest to the front, while
an electric locomotive’s front is determined by having the pantograph furthest away. These are
general guides but are not necessarily absolute.
After assigning an address to a locomotive, it may not move in the direction indicated by the arrow
shown on the main screen.This can be corrected by the following procedure.Although the following
instructions show the programming in Direct mode changing direction can be done on the main
line using the Operate mode.

Step 2: Power
6. Screen shows “ Power DCC
Only ” or “ Power DCC & DC ”.
Please note that “ DCC Only ”
means that the Elite will support
only digital equipped locomotives.
(This is a default setting).
“ DCC & DC ” means that the Elite
supports digital or analogue locos.
7. For this example rotate Control 1
so that screen shows “ Power
DCC Only ”. Press Control 1 to
confirm.
Step 1: Direction
1. Press Menu . Screen shows
“ Loco ”.
2. Press Control 1 . Screen shows
“ Direct ”.
3. Press Control 1 . Screen shows
“ Address ”.
4. Rotate Control 1 until screen
shows “ Config ”.
5. Press Control 1 . Screen shows
“ Dir Normal ”. By rotating
Control 1 the screen shows either
“ Dir Normal ” or “ Dir Reversed ”.
For this example rotate the Control
1 until screen shows “ Dir Normal ”
and press Control 1 to confirm.
The following describes and provides direction for the overall programming of a locomotive as well as providing
instruction on programming Direct CV settings to both locomotives and accessories.
It is important to note the Elite is capable of changing the CVs on decoders, however not all decoders have
the facility for their CVs to be changed. Therefore it is important to check the specifications of the decoder
first before trying to change any of the CVs.
