Running your locomotive
Powering your locomotive in excess of 19 volts, may result in damage to sensitive elec-
tronic components.
Your locomotive requires curves that have a 36” or larger diameter, measured from cen-
ter point between rails to center point between rails.
TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC) operations
F
or operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you need a TrainMaster
Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Refer to your TMCC
System Manual for complete information.
To access all the locomotive's features, you
must operate in the LEGACY environment, as discussed on the previous page.
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which translates
the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails to your locomotive,
which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster Command Control gives you
the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the
track.
2. Place your locomotive on the track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).
If a circuit
breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to
make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals
that may cause a short circuit.
4. Press ENG and 1 (or the ENG ID# you set) to address your locomotive with
your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.
For more information, please refer to the TrainMaster Command Control operations section of
