Locking your locomotive into a single operational state
T
o select a single operational state for your
Lionel locomotive (for example, forward
only), you can deactivate the Command
reverse unit's sequencing function with the
Command reverse unit switch.
Get your locomotive moving in
the desired direction, then slow it
down without stopping. Set the
Command reverse unit switch to
PRG. Refer to Figure 1 for the
location of the switch. The
locomotive is now "locked" into
your chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-
direction operation, just slide the
Command reverse unit switch back
to RUN.
Using your locomotive's ElectroCouplers in the non-Command
environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotive's ElectroCouplers in the non-
Command environment, you must rely on a
piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel

will "reset" to forward after any

the original locked-out direction.
magnetic couplers coupled directly to your
locomotive's 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 11 to learn how to release the
ElectroCouplers in the Command Control
environment.
