Odyssey II Speed Control system operations

Odyssey II Speed Control system operations
T
he Odyssey II Speed Control system is "cruise control" for your locomotive. Once the speed control
is set, your locomotive will maintain a constant speed, no matter what load is placed on the loco-
motive or what grades you have on your layout. The Odyssey II Speed Control system also allows for
extremely slow movement that will amaze any scale enthusiast.

Odyssey II Speed Control System LEGACY Control operation

I
n LEGACY Control System CAB-2 mode, Odyssey II Speed Control system provides 0-199 speed steps.
For a more in-depth explanation of the LEGACY Control System features, please see your LEGACY
Control System operations manual, available online at www.lionel.com.
Odyssey II Speed Control system TrainMaster Command Control
operation
W
hen the Odyssey II Speed Control system is activated, changes in the speed of the locomotive
will correspond to each signal from the Command Base. For example, when you address the
locomotive and slowly turn the throttle knob, the first flash of the red light on the Command Base
corresponds to the first speed step, which is the slowest speed of the locomotive. The locomotive will
maintain that speed until you increase or decrease the throttle.
In TrainMaster Command Control CAB-1 mode, Odyssey II Speed Control System now
provides selectable resolution and momentum. See the momentum settings listed on page 15.

Odyssey II Speed Control system conventional transformer operation

T
he Odyssey II Speed Control system is automatically operational when you operate your locomo-
tive in conventional (non-Command Control) mode. This means that your locomotive will
maintain a constant speed, compensating for grades, loads, and turns. Simply use your transformer's
throttle to adjust the speed of your locomotive.
Note!
Because of the way that speed control operates in conventional mode, you will
notice a slight delay between adjusting your transformer throttle and the change in
the speed of your locomotive.
