F
or operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give your
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 necessary for
conventional (non-Command) operation.
1. Slide the RUN/PGM switch to PGM per Figure 5.
2. Place the locomotive and tender on the track and connect the wired tether per
Figure 1 on page 5.
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 headlight will flash.
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.
