Your Commodore in the TrainMaster Command environment

L
ionel TrainMaster Command is the fun
and sophisticated model railroad control
system from Lionel. Your Commodore fea-
tures the Liontech Command reverse unit,
which acts as both a conventional reverse
unit as well as the key to unlocking many
extra features when you operate in
Command mode.
TrainMaster Command gives you the
power to operate multiple Command-
Place your Commodore on Lionel or Lionel-
1
compatible O gauge track.
• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.
• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications
wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or
the U on any of your installed PowerMasters.
• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on
PowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).

Address your Commodore with CAB-1.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This com-
mand is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates
your commands into digital code. That code is sent around your rail-
road's outside rails in the form of a digital "halo. " All Command-equipped
Lionels listen to this digital communication, but they do not respond
until they hear their own ID number.
• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—
controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is
simply like gasoline in the tank of your car—it gives you the power to
go places, but it doesn't tell you where to go or how fast to get there.
• All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an ID#
of "1. " To change your Commodore's ID#, see page 12.

Move 'em out!
• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your Commodore will
respond to your every command. Read on. The fun is just beginning!
