Tuning Your Locomotive's Performance - Lionel Canadian Pacific Freight Owner's Manual

TrainMaster Command Control operations

Tuning your locomotive's performance

T rainMaster Command Control allows you to fine-tune the performance of your locomotive.
Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to make these adjustments.
Note! These settings will be lost if you assign a new ID#.
Momentum
The TrainMaster Command Control momentum feature simulates the labored performance
of a locomotive pulling a light, moderate, or heavy load. Press L, M, or H (located under the
removable panel on the CAB-1 Remote Controller) to adjust the momentum setting. For
quicker response to your commands, press L, which is the factory default setting. Your locomo-
tive will keep this setting until it is changed.
Adjusting the speed
The BRAKE and BOOST buttons give you incremental control of your locomotive's speed
while you press and hold these buttons, allowing you to make small, gradual adjustments
around curves and over grades. The locomotive will resume its initial speed when the buttons
are released. Listen for the squeal of your locomotive's brakes when you use the BRAKE but-
ton.
Sound volume
Press AUX1, 1 or 4 on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to raise and lower the overall vol-
ume of the RailSounds sound system. To limit your locomotive's volume, we recommend that
you adjust your locomotive's volume control knob (see Figure 6 on page 14 for the location).
Setting the maximum speed
You may use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to set your locomotive's maximum speed. This
will prevent locomotives from derailing as a result of excessive speed.
1. With the Command reverse unit switch in the RUN position, address your locomotive by
pressing ENG and entering the ID#.
2. Press SET on the CAB-1 Remote Controller. The headlight will flash.
3. Get your locomotive moving at your desired maximum speed.
4. Press BOOST.
The maximum speed has been set. To clear this setting, press SET and then BOOST, hold-
ing each button for one second.
