We recommend that you chose an easy
to remember ID# for your engine.
Some possibilities are part of the
engine road number, your age, any two
digit number that is not used by anoth-
er engine. Write the number on a small
piece of tape and put this on the bot-
tom of the fuel tank to aid in remem-
bering.
Note!
For lash-up building in the advanced TrainMaster command section (pg.14), we rec-
ommend that you assign your F3B unit the same I.D.# as your powered A unit.(sold
separately)
