Operations
The Drive Window provides an overview
of your currently selected locomotive
and other important status indicators.
When no locomotive is selected, an “E”
will be displayed in the top left corner
which stands for “Empty”. If you had previously acquired a locomotive
address prior to powering down, the throttle will attempt to re-acquire it.
In order to operate a locomotive, use the Select Locomotive button.
By default, pressing the left thumb switch inwards defaults to the
quick recall function which will swap between the two most recently used
locomotives.
Select A Locomotive
Press the button on the keypad to access the locomotive selection
screen. Users are given two options for selecting a locomotive.
1. Enter the cab number manually using the numerical keypad.
2. If you have a roster stored in the LT-50, you can start entering the
address to filter your available options. Use the thumb switches or knob
to navigate to the desired locomotive, then press the Enter button
or a thumb switch inwards to select it and return to the Drive Window.
To assume control of a different locomotive, press the locomotive
button on the keypad again.
Reverse Direction
The direction of the locomotive is indicated by the arrow displayed under
the cab number. The upward facing arrow indicates the unit will travel
in its forward direction, and the downward facing arrow indicates it will
travel in reverse. Users may change the direction of the unit by using the
Reverse Direction button directly below the knob.

Pro Tip: If you would like to relinquish control of your currently
selected address, enter the Menu and select “Operations”
followed by “Release”. Once a locomotive address has been
released, it will become the first option available in the recall list.
