Locking your locomotives into a single operational state
T
o select a single operational state for your
Lionel locomotives (for example, forward
only), you can deactivate the Command reverse
unit's sequencing function with the Command
reverse unit switch.
Get the locomotive moving in the desired
direction, then slow it down without stopping.
Set the Command reverse unit switch to PGM.
Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switch.
The locomotive is now "locked" into your
chosen direction. Repeat these steps for the
other locomotive.
When you no longer want single-direction
operation, just slide the Command reverse unit switch back to RUN.
Your locomotive's reverse unit will "reset" to forward after any power interruption
Note!
lasting five seconds or longer, regardless of the original locked-out direction.
Using your locomotives' ElectroCouplers in the non-Command
environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotives' ElectroCouplers in the non-
Command environment, you must rely on a
piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel
magnetic couplers coupled directly to the
ElectroCouplers. The magnetic coupler on the
rolling stock will then react to the magnetic
field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control
Track section (available separately, 6-65530
for O gauge; 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27
gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts).
Place your rolling stock's coupler "trigger disc"
over the central coil of a Remote-Control Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the
coupler opens.
See page 12 to learn how to release the couplers in the Command Control environment.
Your locomotives' ElectroCouplers will NOT open manually or by using a
