Coach Car Basics
Assigning your sound car a new ID#
F
or operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give your
sound car a unique ID#. Your sound car will respond to commands associated with its ID# while
all other units will disregard these commands.
This procedure is not necessary for con-
ventional (non-Command) operation.
1. Slide the program/run switch on the sound car to the PGM position as per
Figure 7 on page 15.
2. Place the sound car on the track.
3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.
4. Power up the track.
5. Press ENG on the CAB-1 or CAB-2 remote.
6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that is available. It is
recommended to use part of the locomotive or sound car’s road number.
All LEGACY engines respond to ENG 99. We recommend that you reserve ID# 99 as a
"universal" ID#.
7. Press SET. The sound car’s whistle will sound.
8. Slide the program/run switch back to the RUN position.
The sound car's ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.
It is recommended to use the same TMCC ID# for the sound car as is used for the
corresponding locomotive. This will allow for seamless operation.
