static, and the nature of electricity,
it is possible that your LCRU could some-

steps:

Move switch on locomotive from
run to program.

Turn on Command Base.

Place locomotive on track, then turn
on power to track.
STEP 4: Press “ENG” then input locomotive’s
ID#. Press “SET”
STEP 5: Press “ENG”, then the ID#, “AUX1”,
then press #5 and #0 for your B40-8. (see list
for other engines)
STEP 6:
Turn off power to track, wait ten sec-
onds.
STEP 7:
Remove locomotive from track,
move switch from program to run.
STEP 8:
Place locomotive back on track, turn
power on to track.
STEP 9: Press “ENG” and ID#, then operate as
normal.
