TrainMaster Command Control operations
I
n addition to your transformer, to operate your non-powered locomotive in the Command
Control environment, you need a Command Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a
CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which
then translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails
to your non-powered locomotive, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#.
TrainMaster Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped
locomotives on the same track at the same time.

Ground lights

Y
our non-powered locomotive is equipped with
functional Ground Lights. There is one Ground Light
located on each side of the frame, near the center of the
front truck. Prototypically, it is difficult to determine
when a diesel locomotive is moving at very slow speeds
in extreme low light, or darkness. When operating the
locomotive under these conditions, the Ground Lights
provide the engineer and fireman with a visual reference
to the ground and allow them to more accurately judge
the motion of the locomotive.
The Ground Lights function automatically and are not user controlled. With the
Momentum set to "L", the Ground Lights are ON when the locomotive is stopped and they
remain ON when the locomotive is in motion through speed step 4. At speed step 5 and above,
the Ground Lights are OFF. When the locomotive slows to speed step 4, the Ground Lights will
turn ON.
With the Momentum set to "M" or "H", the Ground Lights are ON when the locomotive
is stopped and they remain ON when the locomotive is in motion through speed step 12. At
speed step 13 and above, the Ground Lights are OFF. When the locomotive slows to speed step
12, the Ground Lights will turn ON.
For optimal effect of the functional Ground Lights, operate your non-powered
