Assigning your Alco PA-1 a new ID#
A
s your fleet of Command-equipped
Lionels grows, you’ll want to give
your Alco PA-1 a more individualized
number. Choose from any between 1
and 99. To make things easy, use a por-
tion of your Alco PA-1’s cab number.
Turn the Command Base ON and
place the Alco PA-1 on track. Power up,
then set the Alco PA-1’s reverse unit con-
trol switch to PROGRAM/LOCK (see
the illustration). Using CAB-1, press
ENG, the locomotive ID# (example: 20),
then press the SET button located under
CAB-1’s removable panel. Hear the horn
blow (or see the headlight flash if
Signalsounds is off); that’s the DCDR
confirming the new ID#. Set the reverse
unit control switch to FORWARD/RUN.
Your Alco PA-1 is ready for operations
with its all-new ID#.
