CAB-1 numeric keypad commands for your locomotive

Press AUX1, 0 on your CAB-1 to stop and reset the locomotive direction to FORWARD.

Tuning your locomotive's performance

MOMENTUM
TrainMaster Command's momentum
feature simulates the labored performance
of a locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press
L, M, or H (located under CAB-1's
removable panel) for light, medium, or
heavy momentum. The locomotive's
Command reverse unit remembers this
setting until you change it. For quick
locomotive response, choose L.
BRAKING AND BOOSTING
There's more to starting and stopping
than just turning the CAB-1 throttle. Use the
BOOST and BRAKE command buttons—
they give you incremental control of speed
and are the superior way to handle grades,
gradual stops-and-starts, and more.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press SET, and the headlight will flash.
Get your locomotive moving to the
maximum speed you want it to run, then
press BOOST. Use this to keep your
locomotive from derailing at excessive
speeds. Turn off the high voltage setting by
pressing SET, then BOOST, holding each
for one second.
STALL
Make your locomotive feel more
responsive by setting a "stall" voltage. Get
your locomotive moving, then press SET;
the locomotive will stop. Turn the throttle
clockwise to get the locomotive moving,
then decrease speed until the locomotive
just stops. Press SET again; the Command
reverse unit remembers the stall setting
until you change it. To clear the stall
setting, press SET twice, holding it for one
second each time.
Note!
These settings will be lost when you
assign a new engine ID number.
