TrainMaster Command operations The Command control environment Lionel TrainMaster Command is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. Your NW-2 is equipped with the Lionel Command reverse unit and features digital Railsounds control. TrainMaster Command gives you the power to operate multiple Commandequipped locomotives on the same track, at the same time. To operate in Command, you need a Command Base and a CAB-1 remote. Find them both at your authorized Lionel retailer. 1 2 3 Place your NW-2 locomotive on Lionel or Lionelcompatible O/O27 gauge track. • Make sure track power is OFF before placing your NW-2 on the track. • Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U post on any of your installed PowerMasters. • Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on PowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD). Address your NW-2 locomotive using CAB-1. • Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This command is sent by 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 Lionels 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 Lionels. 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 Lionels come factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your NW-2, see page 12. Move ‘em out! • Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your NW-2 locomotive will respond to your every command. Read on. 8
