The Velocity Throttle (the red rotary knob on the bottom of your Lionel
remote) is used to start your engine moving, slow it down, or speed it up. Use it
simply by turning it clockwise (speed up) or counter-clockwise (slow down)
.
Direction
The direction of your engine toggles between forward and reverse at the
touch of the Multi-Controller. Press the center of the Multi-Controller once,
and your engine's lights will change directions and the engine will stop until
you throttle up again in the new direction.
Boost & Brake
Boost and brake give you another way to control the speed of your train.
Boost gives your locomotive a temporary increase in tractive power, and returns
to the previous speed when you release the control, while the brake command
slows you down more quickly than the Velocity Throttle alone.

The Train Brake is used to slow down and limit the top speed
of your train by adding a load. The more the Train Brake is
applied by pulling the Train Brake Slider down, the more labor-
ing is heard from the engine. Eventually Train Brake applica-
tion will slow down the train and it is even possible to stop a
train by pulling the Train Brake Slider all the way down. If your
smoke unit is turned on, you'll also see more smoke as the slider
is pulled down.
