LIONEL LEGACY CONTROL SYSTEM
CAB-2 Controls (continued)
Velocity Throttle Diesel RPM Control
Rotate the Velocity Throttle Clockwise
1. Raise RPM levels one step
Rotate the Velocity Throttle Counter-Clockwise
1. Lower RPM levels one step
Note that the rpm indicator in the speed graph (see diagram) will only change one step
until a period of time passes.
Moving the Velocity Throttle slowly will not change RPM. This allows you to change
speeds in varying amounts without changing the RPM settings more than one step at a time.
Conversely, it enables you to change the RPM levels any amount of steps without dramati-
cally changing the speed.
Manual RPM
Manual RPM controls have been added that are similar to TMCC manual rpm mode. In
the manual RPM mode, the RPM will only change when the user utilizes the UP/
DOWN touchscreen keys.
To utilize this feature simply press and hold the RPM up or down arrow and the
"MANUAL RPM" message will appear indicating that RPM is in manual mode. Each
press of the RPM key (up or down) will change the RPM respectively one level. Press
and hold the RPM button again to revert back to auto mode or press the reset key.
Velocity Throttle Direction Control (V.T.D.C.)
Note the V.T.D.C. is, by default, ON. This is an optional feature that can be disabled in
the CTC menu options. The V.T.D.C. is best used with Momentum set to M3 or higher. If
Momentum is set at M2 or L it is recommended that you disable this feature. The V.T.D.C.
is another method of changing the direction of your Engine or Train in addition to using the
Multi-Controller. Experiment with this method of changing direction.
Slow the locomotive down to speed step 0 and wait approximately 1 second (listen for
an air release or steam blow down sound when the locomotive stops) then turn the Velocity
Throttle counter-clockwise up to a half of a turn. This will
1. Change the direction of the locomotive
2. Enable a let-off sound
3. Change direction of locomotive lighting
4. (On some models this will enable an engineer dialog)
Velocity Throttle Engine Laboring
Note that higher momentum levels allow more control
of the laboring effect. Experiment with different momen-
tum levels for different engines.
When the target line is above the grey bar
1. Laboring sounds will intensify as the target line is moved farther
above the Grey-Bar
2. The laboring sound is affected by the distance between the
Grey-Bar and the target line
When the target line is moved below the grey bar
1. Laboring sounds will weaken in intensity
2. Laboring sounds will gradually increase to normal (default) as
the Grey-Bar reaches the target line
Note: Adding the Train Brake will make the laboring ef-
fects more extreme.

and LEGACY modes.
The V.T.D.C. feature is not available in the
CAB-1 mode of operation.)

THE MULTI-CONTROLLER
Toggle Direction
Press the Multi-Controller
straight down
(in the center)
1. Target line goes to speed
step 0
2. Train stops
3. Direction is reversed
4. Directional lighting is
reversed
Boost
Controllable by pushing the Multi-Controller increasing amounts, including a "hold"
position, Boost enables the operator to hold the boosted power at any level. A release of
the Multi-Controller will return power to the original level set by the Velocity Throttle.
Pushing the Multi-Controller
up a small amount and hold-
ing will
1. Introduce light laboring
sounds
2. Hold the current speed
Pushing the Multi-Controller
up all the way and holding will
1. Increase engine speed
continuously at a high
rate
2. Introduce heavy laboring
sounds
3. Increase feedback
vibration

Absolute Direction Control
1. Press the Multi-Controller
straight down
2. While holding it down, roll
(push) it up
3. Direction will be Forward
4. Press the Multi-Controller
straight down
5. While holding it down, roll
(pull) it down
6. Direction will be Reverse
Pushing the Multi-Controller
up halfway and holding will
1. Increase engine speed
continuously at a
medium rate
2. Introduce and hold me-
dium laboring sounds
3. Introduce feedback
vibration
Releasing the Multi-
Controller will
1. Let laboring sounds
taper off to original
"pre-boost" level
2. Return speed to origi-
nal pre-boost value
3. End feedback vibra-
tion
