TrainMaster® Command Operations
Lionel® TrainMaster® Command is the advanced model railroad
control system from Lionel. Your diesel is equipped with the Lionel®
Command reverse unit and an LCRX for digital RailSounds® control.
TrainMaster® Command gives you the power to operate multiple Command
equipped locomotives on the same track, at the same time. To operate in
Command mode, you need a Command Base and a CAB-1 Remote
Controller®. These can be purchased from your train retailer.
Place your engine on the track. Make sure track power is OFF
before placing the engine on the track. Make sure your Lionel® Command
Base is ON and its communications wire is connected to the COMMON post
on your transformer or the U on any of your installed Powermaster®. Once
positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on Powermaster®,
slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).
Address your diesel using the CAB-1 Remote Controller®. Press
ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 Remote Controler®. This
command is sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller® to the Command Base,
which then translates your command into digital code. That code is sent
around your railroad's outside rails in the form of a digital "halo". All
command equipped engines listen to this digital communication, but they do
not respond until they hear their individual ID number - in this case, 1. The
digital language of TrainMaster™ Command - and not track power - controls
the actions of command equipped engines.
All command equipped engines come factory programmed with an
ID# of 1. See page 5 for information on changing this ID#.
Throttle up or press any command button on the CAB-1 Remote
Controller®. Your engine will respond to every command. Your command
equipped engine comes factory programmed with an ID# of 1. To get your
locomotive in action, set Powermaster® to CMD or set all power supplies on
full. Press ENG and 1 on CAB-1 Remote Controller®. Turn the throttle or
press any command button; your engine is ready for command operations.
