Example
A
s your fleet of Command-
equipped Lionels grows, give
your ‘A’ Class locomotive its own
ID#. Choose from any between 1 and
99. Turn the Command Base O
N
and
place the locomotive on track. Power
up, then slide the locomotive’s
PROGRAM/RUN switch to PRO-
GRAM. (See page 4 for location)
Using CAB-1, press ENG, the loco-
motive ID#, then press the SET but-
ton located under CAB-1’s removable
panel. See the locomotive’s head-
light flash; that’s your signal that
the programming has been accept-
ed. Now slide the switch to RUN.
We recommend that you choose an easy-
to-remember ID# for your engines. Some
possibilities are part of the engine road
number, your age, or any two-digit num-
ber that is not used by another engine. If
you like, write the number on a small
piece of tape and put this on the bottom of
the frame to aid in remembering.

ue to the inevitable derailments, static,
and the nature of electricity, it is possi-
ble that your R2IR could someday lose its
setup program.The symptoms of this condi-
tion would be unresponsiveness in Command
mode. This can be easily remedied by “repro-
gramming” your R2IR using the following
steps.
