Controller operations

Operating the controller

A s you turn the throttle control knob to the right, power to the track is increased. Refer to
Figure 5. When the indicator reaches the green band, there should be sufficient power to
operate the locomotive. The further into the green area the knob is turned, the faster your train
will go. Remember that the greater the load on the engine (adding more cars for the engine to
pull, for example), the further into the green the knob must be turned before it will operate the
locomotive.
The yellow band indicates the average power range that the train will be operating in. The red
band represents maximum power output.
