A
s your fleet of Command-equipped
Lionel locomotives grows, you'll want
to give your locomotive a more
individualized number. Choose from any
between 1 and 99. To make things easy, use
a portion of your locomotive's cab number.
Set the locomotive's Command reverse
unit switch to PGM (see Figure 1 on
page 5). Plug in the Command Base and
place the locomotive on track, then power
up. Using your CAB-1 Remote Controller,
press ENG, the locomotive ID# that you
select and then press the SET button
located under your CAB-1 Remote
Controller's removable panel. Hear the horn
blow (or see the headlight flash if the
RailSounds sound system is off); that's the
Command reverse unit confirming the new
ID#. Set the Command reverse unit switch
to RUN. Your locomotive is ready for
operations with its all-new ID#.
We recommend that you choose an easy to
remember ID# for your engine. Some possi-
bilities are part of the engine road number,
your age, or any two digit number that is not
used by another engine. Write the number on a
small piece of tape and put this on the bottom
of the fuel tank to aid in remembering.
