Basic Operation
Horn/Whistle
- To sound the horn,
firmly press the Horn/Whistle
button. The horn will sound for as
long as you continue to depress the
button. It will stop when you
release the button.
Bell
- To sound the bell, firmly
press and release the Bell
button. To turn the bell off,
press and release the Bell button
again. The bell will continue to
ring from the time you turn it on
until you press and release the
button again to turn it off.
Cycle Phases
Direction
Your train is
programmed to start in neutral.
The train will always cycle
neutral-forward-neutral-reverse
with each press and release of the
direction button. The engine is
programmed to restart in neutral
each time the track voltage is
turned off for 25 seconds or more.
Emergency Stop
Press the
Emergency Stop button and all
trains on the track controlled by
the remote will stop until you
reapply voltage. This is an easy
way to shut down your trains at
the end of a session or to stop
suddenly if the train's path
becomes obstructed.
Operation Buttons
Throttle Up
Throttle up the power to your track by turning the throttle on the controller
or (if so equipped) by pressing the top end of the Throttle Control Rocker Switch on the
remote control firmly for about 5 seconds, until the engine's headlight and lighted cars
burn bright. Then put the engine into motion by firmly pressing the Direction button
(hold it for approximately 1 second) on your remote once. If the engine does not begin to
move as soon as you firmly press the Direction button, you may not have sent enough
voltage to the track to make the train move. Press the throttle up for a few more seconds
until the train begins to move. To increase or decrease track voltage, and therefore train
speed, press the throttle control rocker switch. Pressing the top end of the throttle will
increase voltage and speed. Pressing the bottom end of the throttle will decrease voltage
and speed. The engine will maintain the speed you set after you release the throttle until
you press it again to change the voltage and speed.
