Conventional transformer operations
Locking your locomotive into a single direction
W
hen the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive sequences
through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.
To “lock” your locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only),
you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function. Refer to Figure 1 for the
location of the Command reverse unit switch.
1. Use your transformer’s
DIRECTION
button or interruptions in track power to get your
locomotive moving in the desired direction or into neutral.
2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off track
power).
3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PROG position. At this point, the locomotive is
“locked” into your chosen direction.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, turn off track power and slide the
Command reverse unit switch back to the RUN position.
