Odyssey II Speed Control system operations

Odyssey II Speed Control 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 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 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 table on page 20.

Odyssey II Speed Control 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, as long as the Odyssey II Speed Control
system switch is in the ON position (see Figure 4 on page 8). 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.
Because of the way that speed control operates in conventional mode, you will
Note!
notice a slight delay between adjusting your transformer throttle and the change
in the speed of your locomotive. If you desire instantaneous response to throttle
changes, turn off the Odyssey II Speed Control system using the Odyssey II Speed
Control switch (see Figure 4 on page 8).
