Special Reverse Unit Options

Locking Out The Reverse Unit Into A Single Direction
Your locomotive's electronic reverse unit may be locked out into one of three
positions; forward, neutral or reverse. Locking the engine into one of these
three positions prevents the locomotive from cycling through the reverse unit
phases and is useful for operators employing block signal operations on their
layout. Once locked into a position, turning the throttle OFF and then ON
again will not allow the engine to enter the next reverse unit phase and instead
keeps the engine in the current locked direction.
To lock the engine into one of the three positions, simply enter that position
using the transformer throttle or direction button. Once in the desired
direction, remove the locomotive from the track and slide the ON/OFF switch
located on the bottom of the tender (See Figure 1) to the OFF position. This
locks the engine into the desired direction. Sliding the switch back to the ON
position resets the reverse unit into its normal cycling phases.
