Conventional transformer operations
Conventional operations
Y
our locomotive set is capable of operating in the conventional environment with nothing
more than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.
In the conventional environment, your powered A-unit locomotive cycles through a
repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to the
next operation, press the
DIRECTION
button on your transformer. Alternately, you could use
the throttle to briefly turn off track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operation
when power is restored.
Once you cycle the powered A-unit locomotive into forward or reverse, you control your
locomotive set’s speed by varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase the
speed of the locomotive, you increase track voltage. To decrease the speed, you decrease track
voltage. To stop the locomotive and to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage is
turned off or interrupted.
Use the
HORN
and
BELL
buttons on your transformer (or separate buttons if your
transformer is not equipped with these controls) to activate these features. Only the powered
A-unit is equipped with sounds.
To experience all of your locomotive set’s features, we recommend operating in the
TrainMaster Command Control environment. With a simple one-wire connection, you can use
the CAB-1 Remote Controller to access all of the functions of your locomotive set. Refer to
pages 17-25 to see how to operate your locomotive set in the TrainMaster Command Control
environment.
