Example
We recommend that you choose an
easy to remember ID# for your
engine. Some possibilities are part of
the engine road number, your age,
any two digit number that is
not
used by another engine.
Write the
number on a small piece of tape and
put this on the bottom of the fuel
tank to aid in remembering.
A
s your fleet of Command-
equipped Lionels grows, you’ll
want to give your FT a more individual-
ized number. Choose from any between
1 and 99. To make things easy, use a por-
tion of your FT’s cab number.
Turn the Command Base ON and
place the FT on track. Power up, then set
the FT’s reverse unit control switch to
PROGRAM/LOCK (see the illustra-
tion). Using CAB-1, press ENG, the loco-
motive ID# (you select: ?), then press the
SET button located under CAB-1’s
removable panel. Hear the horn blow
(or see the headlight flash if Railsounds
is off); that’s the R2LC confirming the
new ID#. Set the reverse unit control
switch to FORWARD/RUN. Your FT is
ready for operations with its all-new
ID#.
Set the FT’s reverse unit program switch
to PROGRAM. When you’ve finished
programming the ID#, set the switch to
RUN.
