Locking Your Locomotive Into A Single Direction - Lionel GP-7 Owner's Manual

Conventional transformer operations

Locking your locomotive into a single direction

W
hen the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive sequences
through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.
To "lock" your locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only), you
can deactivate the Command reverse unit's sequencing function.
1. Use your transformer's DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get your
locomotive moving in the desired direction or into neutral.
2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off track power).
3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PGM position. At this point, the locomotive is
"locked" into your chosen direction. See Figure 1 on page 13 for the location of this switch.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the Command reverse unit switch back
to the RUN position.
