To select a single operational state
for your Lionel locomotive (for
example, forward only), you can
deactivate the Command reverse unit’s
sequencing function with the
Command reverse unit switch.
Get your locomotive moving in
the desired direction, then slow it
down without stopping. Set the
Command reverse unit switch to
PGM. Refer to Figure 1 for the
location of the switch. The
locomotive is now “locked” into
your chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction operation, just slide the Command reverse unit
switch back to RUN.
Your locomotive’s reverse unit will “reset” to forward after any power interruption
lasting five seconds or longer, regardless of the original locked-out direction.
Using your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the non-Command
environment
To uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the non-
Command environment, you must rely on a piece
of rolling stock equipped with Lionel magnetic
couplers coupled directly to your locomotive’s
ElectroCouplers. The magnetic coupler on the
rolling stock will then react to the magnetic field
generated by a Lionel Remote-Control Track
section (available separately, 6-65530 for O
gauge; 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; and
6-12020 for FasTrack layouts). Place your rolling
stock’s coupler “trigger disc” over the central coil
of a Remote-Control Track section and press
UNCOUPLE on the controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc
downward, and the coupler opens.
See page 11 to learn how to release the couplers in the Command Control environment.
Your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers will NOT open manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section.
