Conventional transformer operations
Locking your locomotive into a single direction
W
hen the program-run 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.
1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to
get your locomotive moving slowly in the desired direction or into neutral.
2. Slide the program-run switch on the powered unit to the PGM position. At this
point, the locomotive is “locked” into your chosen direction. See Figure 4 on
page 9 for the location of this switch.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the program-run switch back to
the RUN position.
