Locking your locomotive into a single direction

W
hen the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive sequences
through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.
To "lock" your locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only),
you can deactivate the Command reverse unit's sequencing function.
1. Use your transformer's DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to
get your locomotive moving slowly in the desired direction or into neutral.
2. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PROG position. At this point, the
locomotive is "locked" into your chosen direction. See Figure 6 on page 8 for the
location of this switch.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the Command reverse unit
switch back to the RUN position.
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.
