T
o select a single operational state for your
Lionel locomotive (for example, forward
only), you can deactivate the Command reverse
unit’s sequencing function with the Command
reverse unit switch.
Get your locomotive moving in the desired
direction, then
slow it down without stopping.
Set the Command reverse unit switch to PGM.
Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switch.
The locomotive is now “locked” into your
chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction
operation, just slide the Command reverse unit
switch back to RUN.
Using your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the non-Command
environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment, you must rely
on a piece of rolling stock equipped with
Lionel magnetic couplers coupled directly to
your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers. The
magnetic coupler on the rolling stock will
then react to the magnetic field generated
by a Lionel Remote-Control Track section
(available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge;
6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; and
6-12020 for FasTrack layouts). Place your
rolling stock’s coupler “trigger disc” over
the central coil of a Remote-Control Track
section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the
magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and
the coupler opens.
See page 11 to learn how to release the
couplers in the Command Control
environment.
Your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers will NOT open manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section.

Your locomotive’s reverse unit will “reset” to forward after any power interruption
lasting five seconds or longer, regardless of the original locked-out direction.
