TrainMaster Command Control operations

Tuning your locomotive’s performance

T

rainMaster Command Control allows you to fine-tune the performance of your locomotive. 
Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to make these adjustments. See page 16.

These settings will be lost if you assign a new ID#.

RPM RUN LEVEL

Your locomotive has eight levels of RPM sounds, corresponding to the eight run levels in 

a real diesel locomotive. The three ways in which you can control your locomotive's RPM 
sounds are discussed below. 

Automatic RPM Mode

In Automatic RPM Mode, your locomotive's RPM run level is controlled by movements of 

the throttle on your CAB-1 Remote Controller. A small clockwise motion of the throttle knob 
will cause the RPM sounds to ramp up one run level, while a small counter-clockwise motion 
of the throttle knob will cause the RPM sounds to ramp down one run level. 

While the locomotive is ramping between run levels, it will ignore additional throttle 

movements. Once the RPMs have finished ramping to the next run level, additional throttle 
motions will again trigger another RPM ramp. This feature will allow you to "fine-tune" your 
RPM run level, regardless of the locomotive's speed, using only the throttle knob. This mode is 
the default setting for your locomotive on power up.

Manual RPM Mode

In Manual RPM Mode, you can set your locomotive's RPM run level to a constant value by 

pressing the 

AUX1

3

 or 

AUX1

6

 key sequences on your CAB-1 Remote Controller. When your 

locomotive is in this mode, its RPM run level will not vary with throttle movements or with the 
speed of the locomotive.

To enter Manual RPM Mode, press the 

AUX1

3

 key sequence while the locomotive is 

stopped, or press either the 

AUX1

3

 or 

AUX1

key sequence while the locomotive is 

moving. Pressing 

AUX1

3

 will cause your locomotive to enter Manual RPM Mode and ramp 

up one RPM run level; pressing 

AUX1

will cause your locomotive to enter Manual RPM 

Mode and ramp down one RPM run level. You may then press the 

3

 or 

6

 key additional times 

to ramp your locomotive's RPMs through all the run levels. Once you set your locomotive's 
RPM run level it will remain there until you change it with the 

3

 or 

6

 keys, or until you exit 

Manual RPM Mode.

You may cause your locomotive to exit Manual RPM Mode in several ways: reset the 

locomotive with 

AUX1

0

 key sequence; enter the shutdown sequence with the 

AUX1

5

 key 

sequence; or turn off the track power and allow the locomotive to reset.

Speed RPM Mode

In Speed RPM Mode, your locomotive's RPM run level is controlled only by the actual 

speed of the locomotive.

Note!
