SPEED GRAPH

(Does not apply to CAB-1 mode)
Target Line
The black Target Line moves across
the graph quickly or slowly, depending
on how you turn the Velocity Throttle.
It indicates your "Target Speed." That is
the speed you want your train to travel.
Grey-Bar
The Grey-Bar is your engine's "Com-
manded Speed."
The Grey-Bar always seeks the target
line. The Grey-Bar moves across the
speed graph at a pre-set rate.
The Momentum setting L, M, and H, is how you decide a pre-set rate of acceleration or
deceleration for your train and the speed graph Grey-Bar on the display. Momentum setting
is default pre-set to "M," Medium.
For more info, see the Momentum section on page 27.

Train Brake

The speed graph indicates how much the overall speed capability has been trimmed by
adding the Train Brake load. Monitor the Train Brake by watching and checking the Train
Brake Indicator as you move the Train Brake Slider (see fi gure Speed Graph: Overview
above).
Laboring Generation
The difference between the Target Speed and the commanded speed creates a labor ef-
fect. Basically, the bigger the difference is, the more extreme the laboring effect becomes.
The laboring effects are changed by the Train Brake settings. As you apply Train Brake,
the overall laboring effects become more intense. As you release the Train Brake, the overall
laboring effects become less intense.
Summary
When your engine arrives at its "Target Speed," it holds that speed until you give it
another speed command or "Target Speed." Then the speed graph's Grey-Bar, representing
the movement of your train, moves toward its new target speed at a rate governed by the
Momentum Control setting.

CAB-2 CONTROLS

LEGACY VELOCITY THROTTLE
Rotating the Velocity Throttle at differ-
ent rates will result in control of engine
sound effects as well as fi ne to coarse
control of train speed, brake sounds, and
direction.
The Target Line and Grey-Bar
The Target line represents the desired
speed of the train. The Grey-Bar represents
the commanded speed of the train. It is
this difference that lets you control fea-
tures like the Auto-Brake independently of
the speed of the train. Experiment with L
M and H momentum and see how it affects
your train's commanded speed compared
to the Target line.
Velocity Throttle Speed Control
Velocity Throttle Speed Control with a Low momentum setting:
1. Turning the Velocity Throttle slowly takes 4 revolutions to move the target line and Grey-
Bar from speed-step 1 to 200
2. Turning the Velocity Throttle quickly takes less than 1 revolution to move the target line
and Grey-Bar from speed-step 1 to 200
Velocity Throttle Speed Control with a Medium or High Momentum setting:
1. The target line movement is the same as with the Low
setting
2. The Grey-Bar movement is changed and moves slower
than at the Low setting
Velocity Throttle Auto-Brake
Note the Auto-Brake is optional and can be enabled
or disabled in the CTC menu options. For more informa-
tion see the CTC section on page 48.
Move the target line to speed step 0 while the
grey bar is above speed step 1
1. Trigger brake sounds during deceleration
2. Continue braking and sounds until stop is attained.
Move the target line above speed step 0
1. Stop braking sounds
Note that in Auto-Brake mode the braking rate is governed by your engine's momentum
setting. The Auto- Brake will not stop your engine faster than the momentum setting will
allow. For faster braking, use the Multi-Controller "Independent Brake" control or change
your momentum to a lower setting while underway.
