CAB-1 Remote Controller® Numeric Keypad Commands
When you press the AUX1 on CAB-1 Remote Controller®, you turn the numeric keypad into 10 command buttons. The keypad lets you
control extra command features (until you press any top row button).
0
Stops and resets the steam locomotive to forward. Whistle blows. Headlight flickers.
1
Raises the volume of RailSounds™.
2
CrewTalk™ is the sound of inaudible walkie talkie communication.
3
Starts up RailSounds™. Startup sequence commences. Steam blowoff sound.
4
Lowers the volume of RailSounds™.
5
Activates the RailSounds™ shutdown sequence. Just like the real thing, your steam locomotive must be at idle for shutdown to occur. Steam
shutdown commences. Remember, the whistle and bell will not sound until you restart RailSounds™.
6
Steam release sound.

TowerCom™ is an audible announcement from the tower.
8
Turns the smoke unit off.
9

Turning Your Locomotive's Performance Momentum
TrainMaster® Command's momentum feature simulates the labored performance of a locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press L,M, or H
(located under the CAB-1 Remote Controller's® removable panel) for light, medium, or heavy momentum. The LCRU2 remembers the setting until
you change it. For delayed response, use H. For quick response use L.
Braking and Boosting
There's more to starting and stopping than just turning the CAB-1 Remote Controller® throttle. Use the BOOST and BRAKE command
buttons - they give you incremental control of speed and are the superior way to handle grades, gradual stops-and-starts and more. Plus, using
BRAKE in the Command environment gives you a bonus RailSounds™ effect - the realistic sound of squealing brakes.
Stall
Make your locomotive feel more responsive by setting a stall voltage. Get your locomotive moving, then press SET; the engine will stop.
Turn the throttle clockwise to get the locomotive moving, then decrease the speed until the locomotive just stops. Then press SET again; the LCRU
remembers the stall setting until you change it. To clear stall, press SET twice, holding it for one second each time.
Assigning Your Locomotive A New ID#
As your fleet of command equipped engines grows, new engines require a different ID#. Choose from any between 2 and 99.
Remember, all command equipped engines ship as ID#1.
We recommend that you choose an easy to remember ID# for your engine. Some possibilities are part of the engine road number, your
age, or any two digit number 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
engine chassis to aid in remembering.
Step 1: Turn the Command Base ON and set the engine on the track.
Step 2: Power up, then slide the PROGRAM / RUN switch to PROGRAM.
Step 3: Turn track power on (Powermaster®).
Step 4: Press BOOST.
Step 5: Press ENG and new ID#.
Step 6: Press SET located under the removable cover.
Step 7: See the headlight flash and hear the horn blow; that's your signal that programming has been accepted.
Step 8: Set the PROGRAM / RUN switch to RUN.
Your engine remembers its ID# forever, change it any time with these steps.
