Tuning your steam locomotive's performance
MOMENTUM
Simulate the labored performance of a loco-
motive pulling a heavy load with momentum.
Press L, M, or H (located under CAB-1's remov-
able panel) for light, medium, or heavy
momentum. The R2LC remembers the setting
until you change it. For delayed response, use
H. For quick response, choose L.
BOOSTING AND BRAKING
Use the BOOST and BRAKE command but-
tons for incremental control of speed and a
superior method for handling grades, stops-
and-starts, and more. Plus, using BRAKE in
the Command environment gives you a bonus
Railsounds effect—the ultra realistic sound of
squealing brakes.
STALL
Make your locomotive feel more responsive
by setting a "stall" voltage. Get your locomo-
tive moving, then press SET; the locomotive
will stop. The headlight will flash, indicating
it's in the SET mode. Turn the throttle clock-
wise to get the engine moving, then decrease
speed until the locomotive just stops. Then
These settings will be lost when you assign a new engine ID number.
Note!
press SET again; the R2LC remembers the stall
setting until you change it. To clear stall, press
SET twice, holding it for one second each time.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press ENG, the locomotive ID#, then press
SET, headlight will flash. Get your locomotive
moving to the maximum speed you want it to
run, press BOOST. Use this to keep your loco-
motive from accidentally being derailed at
high speed.
To clear setting, press ENG,
Note!
the ID#, then immediately
press BOOST.
SOUND QUALITY
To achieve your preferred Railsounds master
volume level, use the volume control dial
located on the bottom of the tender. Turn the
dial left or right to adjust the volume to your
liking.
For quick remote-control of volume below
the master setting—like muting—use the
CAB-1 numeric keypad's volume control.
Pressing AUX1 and 4 on the keypad lowers
overall Railsounds output.
