Y
ou’re clear for departure! Move the throttle control handle forward to increase power to
the track. The farther forward you push the handle, the faster your train will go.
Quickly shutting off or throwing the throttle all the way forward will not result in

When operating in the conventional (non-Command) environment, remember that the great-
er the load on the engine (adding more cars for the engine to pull, for example), the farther
forward the handle must be pushed before it will operate the locomotive.
