TrainMaster Command Control operations
TrainMaster Command Control operations
In addition to your transformer, to operate your Subway set in the Command Control
environment, you need a Command Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1
Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which
then translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails
to your locomotive, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster
Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives
on the same track at the same time.
Operating your locomotive in the Command Control environment
1. Turn off track power and plug in the Command Base. Be sure that the
Command Base is connected to the outside rail or to the Common/Ground/U terminal on
your track power supply.
2. Place your Subway set on Lionel or Lionel compatible O-36 or larger
track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). On
PowerMasters, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD. Program Track Power Controllers to
Command Control operation. Do not power with 50 HZ AC.
Power your Subway set with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.
Powering your Subway set with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
4. Press ENG and enter the ID# to address your Subway with your CAB-1
Remote Controller. All Lionel Subway sets come factory-programmed as ID# 1.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out! Your Subway set will respond to every command from
your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
Operating the car doors in the TMCC environment
Each car features a lighted interior, and opening doors. In the TMCC environment, the doors are
opened and closed using the CAB-1 Remote Controller. To open the left side doors, press AUX1
and F. To open the right side doors, press AUX1 and R. To close the doors on the left side, press
AUX2,F,AUX2. To close the doors on the right side, press AUX2,R,AUX2. You may choose to
lock the doors from opening on a certain side using the switches located under the roof-top hatch on
each car. The switches are illustrated in Figure 3 on page 7.
Any open door will close automatically as the train begins to move, unless they are locked
in the open position.
