TrainMaster Command Control operations
T rainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel.
To operate your 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). Both products are offered together in the TrainMaster Command Set (6-12969).
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 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.
Keep in mind that track power is like gasoline in the tank of a car—it gives you the power
to go places, but it doesn't tell you where to go or how fast to get there.
