introduction to the Powermaster Bridge

T

he #996 PowerMaster Bridge provides a bridge between the LEGACY Control System 
transmitting at 2.4 GHz and the TrainMaster Command Control system which transmits 

at 27 MHz. The PowerMaster Bridge provides this bridge by accepting a serial stream of data 
from the LEGACY Control System and transmitting the data on 27 MHz. Using the LEGACY 
Control System with the PowerMaster Bridge and PowerMaster (PM-1) module(s), you are now 
able to use the LEGACY Control System CAB-2 remote controller to control both Command 
and conventional trains. Before the introduction of the PowerMaster Bridge it would have 
required the use of the LEGACY Control System CAB-2 remote controller and the TrainMaster 
Command Control CAB-1 remote controller to control your trains using a PowerMaster (PM-1) 
module(s). The PowerMaster Bridge only transmits 27 MHz when there is serial data supplied 
to be transmitted.

The operation of the PowerMaster Bridge also allows you to control the voltage on a section 

of track by using a PowerMaster (PM-1) module. Refer to the PowerMaster Owner’s Manual for 
further operating information.
