The Command Control environment
Lionel TrainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from
Lionel. TrainMaster Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-
equipped locomotives on the same track, at the same time.
To operate in Command mode, you need a Command Base and a CAB-1
remote Controller. Find them both at your authorized Lionel retailer.
Place your Missile Launch Sound Car on Lionel or
Lionel-compatible O gauge track.

2Address your Missile Launch Sound Car using the CAB-1.
•Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
This command is sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base,
which then translates your command into digital code. That code is sent around
your railroad’s outside rails in the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-
equipped Lionel locomotives listen to this digital communication, but they do not
respond until they hear their individual ID number—in this case, “1.”
•The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track
power—controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionel
engines. 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.
•our Missile Launch Sound Car comes factory-programmed with
an ID# of 1. To change the ID# of your Missile Launch Sound Car, see page 9.

• We recommend that you couple the Sound Car directly to the
Missile Launcher Locomotive for the best effect.
•Set the Command switch to the RUN position. Refer to Figure 2 on
page 5.
•Make sure your Lionel Command Base is plugged-in and its
communications wire is connected to the COMMO post on your Lionel
transformer or the U terminal on any of your installed PowerMasters.
• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (no more than
19 volts). On PowerMasters, slide the CMD/CO V switch to CMD.
