Locomotive basics
Assigning your locomotive a new ID#
F
or operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give each unit
a unique ID#. The locomotive will respond to commands associated with its ID# while all other
units will disregard these commands. This procedure is not necessary for convention-
al (non-Command) operation.
1. Slide the program run switch on your locomotive to the PROG position. See
Figure 4 on page 8.
2. Place the locomotive on the track.
3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.
4. Power up the track.
5. Press ENG on the CAB-1 or CAB-2 remote.
6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that has not been
assigned to another locomotive (ENG). We recommend using a part of your
locomotive's road number.
All LEGACY locomotives respond to ENG 99. We recommend that you reserve ID# 99 as a
Note!
"universal" ID#.
7. Press SET. The locomotive's horn will sound, or the headlights will flash if the
RailSounds sound system is off.
8. Slide the program run switch back to the RUN position.
The locomotive's ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.
Building a lash-up
T
his LEGACY-equipped locomotive can be operated in conjunction with other LEGACY-equipped
locomotives, forming a multiple unit lash-up. Just like with the real railroads, lash-ups
allow you to pull longer trains and climb steeper grades. You will find that the lighting operates
prototypically—the lead unit's headlight and interior lights are illuminated when the train is in
forward, and the rear unit's headlight and interior lights are on when the train is in reverse. When
addressing the locomotives as a lash-up, the front ElectroCoupler on the lead unit and the rear
ElectroCoupler on the trailing unit are activated using the ElectroCoupler buttons on your remote.
For more information, refer to your complete LEGACY Control System manual.
