Assigning your locomotive a new ID# (LEGACY and TMCC)
Locomotive basics
F
or operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give your
Legacy Steam Locomotive a unique ID#. Your locomotive will respond to commands associated
with its ID# while all other units will disregard these commands.
This procedure is not nec-
essary for conventional (non-Command) operation.
1. Slide the Program-Run switch on your locomotive to the PROG position. See
Figure 4 on page 9.
2. Place the locomotive on the track.
3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.
4. Power up the track.
5. Press ENG on the CAB-1 or CAB-2 remote.
6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that has not been
assigned to another locomotive (ENG). We recommend using a part of your
locomotive’s road number.
All LEGACY locomotives respond to ENG 99. We recommend that you reserve ID# 99
as a "universal" ID#.
7. Press SET. The locomotive’s horn will sound or the headlights will flash if the
RailSounds sound system is off.
8. Slide the Program-Run switch back to the RUN position.
The locomotive's ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.
Note!
