F
or operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you need a TrainMaster
Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Refer to your TMCC
System Manual for complete information.
To access all the coach car's features, you
must operate in the LEGACY environment, as discussed on the previous page.
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which
translates the command and broadcasts a radio frequency that is distributed through the outside
rails to your coach car, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster
Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives and
coach cars on the same track at the same time.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the
track.
2. Place your coach car on the track.
This will improve operation by allowing electrical
pickup through the tender wheels.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).
If a circuit
breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your coach car to
make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals
that may cause a short circuit.
4. Press ENG and 1 to address your coach car with your CAB-1 Remote
Controller.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.
For more information, please refer to the TrainMaster Command Control operations section of
this manual or the TMCC System Manual, available online at
