Address your steam engine using the CAB-1 Remote Controller®. Press
ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 Remote®. This command is sent by
the CAB-1 Remote® to the Command Base, which then translates your command into
a digital code. That code is sent around your railroad's outside rails in the form of a
digital "halo". All command equipped engines listen to this digital communication, but
they do not respond until they hear their individual ID number - in this case, 1. The
digital language of TrainMaster®Command - and not track power - controls the actions
of command equipped engines.
All command equipped engines come factory programmed with an ID# of 1.
See page 5 for information on changing this ID#.
Throttle up or press any command button on the CAB-1 Remote®. Your
engine will respond to every command. CAB-1 Remote Controller® Commands
