Command Control operations

The Command Control environment

Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. Command

Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped vehicles on the same

track, at the same time.

To operate in Command mode, you need a Command Base and a CAB

Remote Controller. Find them both at your authorized Lionel retailer.

Place your vehicle on Lionel or

Lionel-compatible O gauge track.

2Address your vehicle using CAB-1.

• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1. This command

is sent by the CAB-1 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

engines 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.

• All Command-equipped vehicles come factory-programmed

with an ID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your vehicle, see page 14.

3Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on the CAB. Your vehicle will

respond to your every command. Read on.

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing your vehicle on

the track.

• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is plugged-in and its

communications wire is connected to the COMMON 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 20 volts). On PowerMasters, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD.

Running your vehicle in the TrainMaster Command environment

Command Control operations

Your Command-equipped vehicle comes factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” To

get your vehicle in action, set PowerMasters to CMD or set all power supplies on full

(no more than 19 volts). Press ENG and “1” on your CAB. Turn the throttle or press any

command button; your vehicle is ready for Command operations.

CAB commands for your vehicle

The CAB commands for the vehicle are outlined below.

Throttle

Turn the THROTTLE to the right to accelerate, left to decelerate.

AUX1, 0

Stops and resets the vehicle to the idle position; ready to start in the forward direction.

AUX1, 8

Turns the strobe light off.

AUX1, 9

Turns the strobe light on.

AUX2

Toggles the headlights on and off.

DIR

The DIR key is used to change the directional state of your vehicle. Use the DIR button to decelerate to a

complete stop; turn the throttle up, and the vehicle will accelerate in the opposite direction. There is no

neutral state.

BRAKE AND BOOST

The BOOST and BRAKE command buttons give you incremental control of speed and are the superior

way to handle grades, gradual stops-and-starts, and more.

In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, the Boost and Brake keys will increase and decrease

the speed of your vehicle only as long as the keys are held down.

In the LEGACY environment, the Boost and Brake keys can be set to maintain the speed without

reverting back to the previous set speed.

These settings will be lost when you assign a new engine ID number.

HALT

Press HALT to shut down all PowerMaster electrical output on your railroad. Stops all Command-

equipped Lionel locomotives in operation.

Use HALT only in emergency situations.

Note!

Reprogramming the Command reverse unit to restore features

Due to the inevitable derailments and static, it is possible that your Command reverse

unit could someday lose its setup program. The symptom of this condition would be

unresponsiveness in Command mode. This can be easily remedied by “reprogramming” your

Command reverse unit using the following steps.

STEP 1: Move the Command Reverse Unit switch on your vehicle to the PRG position.

STEP 2: Plug in your Command Base.

STEP 3: Place the vehicle on track, then turn on power to your track.

STEP 4: Press ENG then input the vehicle’s ID#. Press SET.

STEP 5: Turn off power to your track and wait ten seconds.

STEP 6: Remove the vehicle from your track, and move the Command Reverse Unit switch to

the RUN position.

STEP 7: Place the vehicle back on track, then turn power on to the track.

STEP 8: Press ENG and the ID#, then operate as normal.

Command Control operations

Assigning your vehicle a new ID#

We recommend that you choose an easy to remember ID# for your engine. You may choose a

part of the engine road number or any two-digit number that is not used by another engine.

Write the number on a small piece of tape and put this on the bottom of the fuel tank to aid in

remembering.

s your fleet of Command-equipped Lionel vehicles grows, you’ll want to give your vehicle

a more individualized number. Choose from any between 1 and 99. To make things easy,

use a portion of your vehicle’s cab number.

Set the vehicle’s Command reverse unit switch to PRG (see Figure 1 on

page 9). Plug in the Command Base and place the vehicle on track, then power up. Using

CAB, press ENG, the vehicle ID# that you select and then press the SET button on the CAB

remote. See the headlight flicker; that’s the Command reverse unit confirming the new ID#.

Set the Command reverse unit switch to RUN. Your vehicle is ready for operations with its all-

new ID#.

Meijer.com

3Move ‘em out!

Get your vehicle moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your Lionel

transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit to the next operating state.

Adjust track voltage until your vehicle moves at your desired speed. To increase

speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the vehicle,

turn-off track power, or cycle it to neutral.

Place your vehicle on Lionel or Lionel-compatible

O gauge track.

2Power up your vehicle with your transformer.

Your vehicle is designed to operate on 7-18 volts alternating current

(AC). Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current

transformers are suitable.

Do not power your vehicle with direct current (DC). Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

When you first power up your track, the vehicle will wait between

three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the

TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it has determined that it’s

on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the vehicle’s headlight will illuminate

and RailSounds will fire up. At this point, the vehicle is in neutral. (This occurs

when placing the vehicle on your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it will start

in forward following every three-second power

interruption.)

Transformer operations

Switch overview

Use the Command Reverse Unit Switch to “lock” your locomotive in a single direction, or

neutral, in the Conventional environment when the switch is placed in the PGM position.

See Figure 1 below.

Also, the switch is used to assign an ID# and reprogram the locomotive in Command

operation when the switch is in the PGM position.

Using your vehicle’s ElectroCouplers in the non-Command

environment

To uncouple rolling stock from your vehicle’s rear ElectroCoupler in the non-Command

environment, you must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel magnetic couplers

coupled directly to your vehicle’s ElectroCouplers. The magnetic coupler on the rolling stock will

then react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control or Uncoupling Track section

(available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge, and 6-12020 or

6-12054 for FasTrack layouts). Place your rolling stock’s coupler “trigger disc” over the central

coil of a Remote-Control or Uncoupling Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the controller. The

magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the coupler opens.

Your vehicle’s ElectroCoupler will NOT open manually or by using a Remote-Control

Track section.

Maintaining and servicing your vehicle

Lubricating your vehicle

elp your Lionel vehicle lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it

properly.

We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (no. 6-62927),

available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate (a small

amount will do), and avoid getting grease or oil on the vehicle’s wheels or your track. You’ll know

your vehicle requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the parts indicated in

Figure 3 below. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and always lubricate any

vehicle emerging from prolonged storage.
