73-7147-250 6/13 Lionel CAB-1L & BASE-1L Owners Manual Welcome to LEGACY command control The CAB-1L is the simple way to start operating in the LIONEL LEGACY Command Control environment and an economical way to add operators when running trains with friends!
Whether you want to access the basic features of the LEGACY control or operate our older TrainMaster command control (TMCC1) equipment, the CAB-1L remote controller allows you to walk around your layout while controlling your trains. The Base-1L receives signals from the remote and sends your commands across the layout. If you already have a LEGACY Base (6-14295), you can simply add one or more CAB-1L remotes to your existing LEGACY layoutno need for the Base-1L. If you are looking to get started with the LEGACY Control System, the combination of CAB-1L and Base-1L are an affordable way to start unlocking many of Lionels celebrated features. Only one Base (either the LEGACY Base or the Base-
1L) should be used on a layout. You may use a combination of LEGACY CAB-2 and CAB-1L remotes with a single LEGACY Base. However, only CAB-1Ls may be used with the Base-1L. 2 Table of contents Introduction Using this manual Preparing your railroad for TrainMaster Command Command Base Installing the Command Base Command-equipped locomotives CAB-1L & Base-1L radio channel selection Programming ID#s for your Command-equipped locomotives Addressing locomotives Activating whistle quilling on LEGACY locomotives (optional) Sending basic commands to locomotives with CAB-1L Tuning your locomotives performance Sending numeric commands to locomotives Adjusting locomotives smoke level Switches Controlling switches with CAB-1L Notes on AUX1 and AUX2 Creating routes around your railroad Activating routes Clearing routes The TR button Tracks or Trains Advanced operating techniques Building lash-ups Front, middle, rear and reverse-direction locomotives Addressing lash-ups Removing locomotives from lash-ups Lash-up problem solving Notes on lash-ups Tuning lash-up performance Sticky keys Problem Solving Answers to questions Glossary The language of command control FCC Statement Notes Lionel Limited Warranty Policy & Service 3 4 4 5 6-7 8 9 9 10 11 12 13 14 14 15 16 16 17 18-19 20 20 21 22 23 24 25-36 27-30 31-33 34 35 36 Introduction Using this manual We designed this manual to give you more than just a solid start in command control. Theres detailed discussion as you learn more, so youll find plenty of helpful information, no matter what your level of expertise. Getting started is easy. Just go section by section. For additional information, refer to smaller-print sections marked Detail. Example Most important are the Example boxes. Each is designed to make learning TrainMaster Command quick and easy. Read the text, then press the button commands listed in the Example. Before you know it, youll be operating locomotives, switches, and accessories from CAB-lLs keypad like a pro. Theres even a glossary to define the terms covered in the manual. If a word or concept is new to you, look it up. The index helps you locate subjects by referencing key words. Go through each example step by step, repeating the commmands. You cant "hurt" the system by pressing the wrong button. The LEGACY Control System is more than just a sophisticated way of operating Lionel trains its also a rugged example of modern technology. The only rule: have fun. Preparing your railroad for TrainMaster Command Any three-rail, alternating current-powered model railroad can beome a LEGACY railroad. Before you install the Command Base-1L, do these things. First, make sure there are no short circuits anywhere on your railroad. Second, make sure all power supplies are in phase. Finally, consider the power requirements for everything connected to the track: switches, bulbs, operating cars, illuminated cars, and more. TrainMaster Command operates on constant, high voltage, so some bulbs may burn out prematurely. If they do, replace them with 18-volt bulbs. Remove or disconnect items you believe may not benefit from constant voltage. 4 Command Base Installing the Command Base Plug the power supplys cable into the Base-1Ls power input, then plug the power supply into a properly grounded wall outlet
(110 volts, 50/60 cycles). Connect a wire between the Command Base's binding post and the common ( U) terminal on all transformers powering your track. You can also connect the wire between the Base-1L and the outside rail of your track.
(Connect the wire to both outside rails if you use hirail track.) You need a CAB-1L remote to operate the Command Base-1L. (The CAB-2 wont work with Base-1L. However, you can mix CAB-1L and CAB-2s on the same layout by using a LEGACY Base.) To install the Command Base-1L, plug the power supply power cable into the Base input. Plug the power supply into a standard wall outlet (110 volts, 50 or 60 cycles). The outlet must be properly grounded. The Base-1Ls top-mounted green light will illuminate. The Command Base-1L doesnt have an on/off switch, so you may leave it on at all times. lf you prefer to turn it off after operating sessions, use a power strip with a circuit breaker and on/off switch. Doing so lets you electrify all transformers and the Command Base at once. Note!
COMMAND BASE POWER SUPPLY. Do not use the Command Bases power supply to power any other device. Its three-prong plug is unique. Next, connect a wire between the Command Base binding post and the common (U) terminal on all transformers powering your track. Or, connect the wire to your tracks outside rail at any convenient location. You've just installed The LEGACY Control System on your railroad. Be sure the outside (common) rail is electrically continuous throughout your entire layoutthis enables unimpeded communication around the track plan. If your layout has block control, make sure only the center (or "hot") rail is insulated with insulating pins at block boundaries. Insulating both outside rails at block boundaries will obstruct the Command Bases signaIs. Hint!
Be sure the Command Base-1L is ON before you place your Command Control-
equipped locomotive on track. Then bring up track power. When the Base-1L is ON, your Command-equipped Lionel locomotives instantly know theyre on a LEGACY railroad. If the Base-1L is OFF, the locomotive will operate like an ordinary engine when power is applied. 5 Setting the communication channel CAB-1L & Base-1L radio channel selection The CAB-1L communicates with the Base-1L at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Within this band, there are nine distinct channels available for your use, the default channel is 1. Chances are, channel 1 will be fine for your layout and youll have no need to change channels on your system. However, the 2.4 Ghz frequency spectrum is also used by WiFi, cordless phones and various other devices you may have near your layout. If you are having trouble maintaining reliable communication between your Lionel remote and layout, experiment with different channels following the instructions shown here. Note!
Remember that all your remotes must be set to the same channel number as your Base (this is true for Base-1L as well as the LEGACY Base). To see or change the current channels on CAB-2 and LEGACY Base, refer to the owners manual for those products. Hint!
When changing channels, first change your BASE-1L to the desired channel, then change the CAB-1L to match. Start by selecting the radio channel for Base-1L:
1. Press the button on the side of the Base-1L once. The Bases green LED will blink up to nine times, which indicates the current channel number. After a pause the blink pattern repeats. It will do this for a couple of minutes, and then return to normal operating mode unless the button is pressed again. 2. While the Base-1L is blinking its channel number, pressing the button a second time changes the current radio channel to the next higher frequency. Keep pressing the button until the desired radio channel is reached, as indicated by the blink pattern. Immediately proceed to the next step (see next page), and change the radio channel selection for your CAB-1L. Once that is done, the channel blinking pattern on your Base-1L will cease. Channel Select 6 Setting the communication channel CAB-1L & Base-1L radio channel selection (continued) Then Select the radio channel for CAB-1L:
1. Remove the sliding cover over the SET key at the bottom front of the CAB-1L. 2. Hold down the SET key and press a number key (1 - 9) to pick the radio channel to transmit on. 3. The speaker will beep to give feedback when the channel is configured, either one beep if a base responds, or three beeps if no base responds. The new channel number will be saved. Both types of beeps mean that a channel has been configured, but if there happens to be a base in range when the channel is set, then the one beep signal means that communication has been established with the base. Three beeps means that no base responded when test commands were transmitted by the CAB-1L during channel configuration. If this happens when a base is within range, then it may be that the base is set to a different channel than the one you just selected for your CAB-
1L (see Base-1L channel selection). Once youve heard the single-beep confirming your CAB-1L has connected to a Base (either Base-1L or LEGACY Base) youre all set. You can further confirm communication is working by turning the throttle or pressing a button on your remote. The red LED on your base should illuminate in response to incoming commands. Note!
Once you start this process, make sure to change all remotes to the new channel assignment!
SET L M H 7 Command-equipped locomotives Programming ID#s for your Command-equipped locomotives Example Assign an engine ID# to Santa Fe 2343 on Track #1 Command Base ON, track power off Slide the locomotive PROGRAM/RUN switch to PRG/PROG/PROGRAM Place locomotive on track Turn track power on Set TMCC ID to Engine #23:
Press ENG Press 23 (the ID#) Press and release the SET (under removable front panel at the bottom-front of your CAB-1L) Hear horn/whistle sound (or see the headlight flash) Slide the switch back to the RUN position. Your engine remembers its ID# forever;
change it any timejust repeat these steps SET L M H Every Command-equipped locomotive comes factory-programmed with TMCC ID Engine #1. You may wish to assign a new ID#, using any number from 1 through 98 (do not use engine 99, as this is the universal ID# that all LEGACY-equipped locomotives will respond to). To make it easy to remember, try using part of the locomotive cab number. For example, ID your Lionel F3 no. 2343 to "#23" or
"#43." We use 23 in our example. Here s how to give a Command-equipped locomotive its new ID#. Make sure the Command Base-1L is ON. Refer to the Command-equipped locomotive owners manual(s) for PROGRAM/
RUN switch locations. Holding the locomotive, slide its control switch to the PRG, PROG or PROGRAM setting. Place the locomotive on track and power up your railroad. Using CAB-1L, press ENG, the ID# (any number 1 to 98), then press and release the SET button located under the removable panel on CAB-1. Hear the horn or whistle blow, or the headlight flash. This confirms your new ID #. Slide the switch back to RUN and youre ready to go. Want to change your locomotives ID#? Just repeat these steps any time. 8 Command-equipped locomotives Addressing locomotives Example Address Engine #23 Press ENG Press 23 (the ID#) Throttle up or press any comand button To operate a Command-equippcd locomotive, press ENG and its ID# on CAB-1. Turn the throttle or press any command button; the sound system starts up
(equipped locomotives) and the engine is ready to begin operations. Activating whistle quilling on LEGACY locomotives (optional) The Quilling Whistle is a key feature of LEGACY locomotives. Quilling allows you to continuously vary the intensity of the whistle, creating your own unique signature sound. But by default, CAB-1L sends TMCC style horn commands in order to be compatible with non-LEGACY locomotives. Because LEGACY locomotives respond to these older commands, too, youll still hear horn or whistle sounds, but you wont be able to quill. To set Quilling horn/whistle for one engine or train ID:
1. Remove the sliding cover to expose the SET key at the bottom-front of the CAB-1L. 2. Select a current engine or train in the usual way by pressing either ENG and enter the ID#
or TR and enter the ID#. 3. Hold down the SET key and press the WSTL/HRN key to toggle the whistle configuration between TMCC1 and LEGACY style for the current engine or train. The CAB-1L will beep once if the TMCC1 whistle style is selected, or it will beep twice if the LEGACY quilling whistle is selected instead. Repeat this process for each LEGACY locomotive ID. Note that this horn setting for engines and trains is saved internally within the CAB-1L itself. This means that if more than one CAB-1L is being used on your layout, each one must be programmed to set the horn style for a given engine or train. Note!
Remember that older TMCC1 locomotives dont support quilling and wont sound at all in response to LEGACY quilling commands. If an engine stops responding to the WSTL/
HRN button, but its bell is working correctly, change back to TMCC1-style whistle for that particular Engine ID and all will be well. 9 Command-equipped locomotives Sending basic commands to locomotives with CAB-1L The corresponding RailSounds sound system effects are in bold italic type. Some locomotives may not support all listed features. Opens your locomotive's front coil coupler
(equipped locomotives). Coupler release sound. Opens your locomotives rear coil coupler (equipped locomotives). Coupler release sound. Toggles the locomotive's headlight on and off. Controls the speed of your locomotive. Turn the THROTTLE to the right to accelerate, to the left to decelerate. There is no stop.If you don't press a button or turn the throttle for 30 seconds, CAB-1L goes into battery-saving sleep mode. Turn the throttle or press any button to wake it up. Activates the locomotives horn or whistle as long as you hold the button. Steam whistle or diesel horn sound. Press BELL to activate the bell, again to discontinue. Steam bell or diesel bell sound. In command control, DIR operates differently than in conventional Lionel operations. Press DIRthe locomotive decelerates to complete stop; turn the throttle up, and the locomotive will accelerate in the new, opposite direction. THERE IS NO NEUTRAL. Steam or diesel letoff sound. Press and hold BOOST for extra power. Release BOOST and your locomotive returns to its previous speed. Labored chuff sound, fuller diesel prime mover. Press and hold BRAKE when you want to slow down or stop. Release BRAKE and your locomotive returns to its previous speed. Squealing brake sounds. Coasting chuff, quieter prime mover. Press HALT for emergency stops only. HALT stops all Command-equipped locomotives in action and shuts down all remotely-controlled track power transformers. 10 Command-equipped locomotives Tuning your locomotives performance SETTING MOMENTUM The LEGACY systems momentum feature simulates the labored performance of a real life locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press L, M, or H (located under CAB-lLs removable panel) for light, medium, or heavy momentum. The locomotive remembers this setting until you change it. For normal (quick) locomotive response, press L. L M H SET Get a feel for the difference in momentum settings. Select L, M, or H. Turn your throttle slightly and wait a few seconds for the locomotive to respond. Note that on LEGACY/TMCC2 locomotives, L, M and H settings change the number of individual speed steps your locomotive supports. A setting of L gives 32 speed steps, M yields100 speed steps and H provides 100 speed steps with added momentum. SETTING STALL Make your locomotive feel more responsive with stall (this tip is especially applicable to Pulmor-
powered TMCC locos). Get your locomotive moving and press SET; the locomotive will stop. Tum the throttle clockwise to get the engine moving, then decrease speed until the looomotive just stops. Press SET again. Even if your locomotive doesn't move after turning the throttle, just press SET again. Stall will be set. Your locomotive remembers the stall setting until you change it. To clear stall, press SET twice, holding it for one second each time. Detail STALL EXPLAINED. Set a command-equipped locomo tive's stall, and it skips from zero power to stall when you turn the throttle. Stall eliminates unnecessary throttle rotation making your locomotive more responsive. Note!
Not all engines support Stall. 11 Command-equipped locomotives Sending numeric commands to locomotives When you address a locomotive and press any non-numeric button such as AUXl, you enable 10 numeric command buttons. Turning the throttle or entering more than two digits for a locomotive address will also enable numeric commands. The numeric keypad issues commands listed below until you press any top-row button (SW, ACC, RTE, TR, or ENG). The corresponding RailSounds sound system effects are in bold italic type. Halts and resets a locomotive. Resets direction to FORWARD or the control switch's direction setting. Blows whistle or horn. AUX1 Raises the volume in RailSounds-equipped locomotives. Sound volume increases. Dialog sceneengineer. speaks first. Scene varies in motion vs. stop, optional leading AUX-1. Raises the RMP level in RailSounds--equipped diesel locomotives. Starts up RailSounds in any currently addressed locomotive. RPMs increase. Steam blowoff. Startup sequence commences. Lowers the RPM level in RailSounds-equipped locomotives. Sound volume decreases. When stopped, activates shutdown sound in RailSounds equipped locomotives. Horn/whistle, bell, and RPMs will not sound until you restart RailSounds by pressing 3. (In motion, triggers dialog scene). Steam or diesel shutdown sequence commences and/or dialog. Lowers the RPM level in RailSounds-equipped diesels. RPMs decrease. Steam letoff. Dialog scene--dispatcher speaks first. Scene varies in motion vs. stop, with or without leading AUX-
1. Smoke OFF Air-release. Smoke ON (see note below). Air-release. Turns headlights on and off. 12 Command-equipped locomotives Adjusting locomotives smoke level Example To adjust the smoke output level to Medium Press AUX1 Press AUX2 Press 9 Press M Press AUX2 L M H So set smoke to Low or High, simply substitue the L or H in place of the M key-press above. Sound and smoke effects of the engine can be trimmed higher or lower depending on your operating preference. 13 Switches Controlling switches with CAB-1L Example To throw Switch #1 to out Press SW Press 1 Press OUT Switch #1 is now curved or out Example throw Switch #12 to through Press SW Press 12 Press THROUGH Switch #12 is now curved or through Once youve programmed switch ID numbers
(refer to the manual that came with your switch controller for this proceedure), you can operate any TMCC remote-controlled switch using CAB-1L. Hint SWITCH SHORTHAND. After addressing a switch, you can immediately address another switch simply by entering its ID#you dont have to press SW again. This is so until you press another address button (ACC, RTE, TR, or ENG). Notes on AUX1 and AUX2 definitions As youll notice in these sections on switch and accessory control, the AUXl and AUX2 buttons on CAB-1 gain new meaning. For switches, they are defined as through and out, respectively. When it comes to accessories, they have even more (and different) functions. AUXl and AUX2 are multi-definition buttons. Their definitions depend on which top-row address button (ENG, SW, ACC, etc.) you most recently pressed. For example, press SW and AUXl/ AUX2 control the direction of switches. Press ENG or TR and AUXI opens the numeric keypad to locomotive feature control, while AUX2 controls headlight illumination. Finally, when you press ACC, the buttons change meaning again, this time to control accessory functions. As you get comfortable with jumping between locomotives, switches, accessories, routes, and multi-locomotive lash-ups (trains), youll acquire a feel for the many definitions of AUXl and AUX2. Until then, just remember our basic CAB-1 rule: AUX1 and AUX2 functions always depend on which top-row address button youve just pressed. 14 Switches Creating routes around your railroad Example Assign switches #2 (through),
#4 (out), and #14 (through) to Route #1 Every model railroad has switches, which provide plenty of operational variety, especially when thrown in certain patternsa route. Heres a common scenario: to travel from the main line to the yard, you have a preset route: Switch #2 is through (straight), Switch #4 is out (curved), and Switch #14 is through. If your switch controller supports Routes, you can throw all those switches with a single commandRTE. Command Base ON Switch controller accessory is on Begin programming, press RTE Press 1 (route number) Press 2 (the switch number) Press THROUGH Press SET Switch #2 is in the through direction on Route #1 Begin programming, press RTE Press 1 Press 4 (the switch number) Press OUT Press SET Detail Switch #4 is in the out direction on Route
#1 Begin programming, press RTE Press 1 Press 14 (the switch number) Press THROUGH Press SET Switch #14 is in the through direction on Route #1 15 SWITCHES AND ROUTES. Any switch can be part of any route. And any switch can be on any number of routes, creating a wealth of possibilities. Experiment. Discover new pathways around your railroad with RTE. Routes are remembered foreveror until you clear them . Always check your RTE programming:
throw switches opposite the RTE direction, then press RTE and the ID#; your route should immediately throw. You can add more switches to a route at any time. Switches Activating routes Address Route #1 Example Press RTE Press 1 for one full second Select any route youve programmed by pressing RTE and your chosen RTE ID#. Make sure you press and hold the ID# button for one full second. This ensures the command is issued to every switch controller on your railroad. Route #1 has been selected. Switch #2 is THROUGH, Switch #4 is OUT, and Switch
#14 is THROUGH Detail PRESS AND HOLD. When you are pressing the ID button, some of the switches may not actually throw until youve released the button. Switches activate at different times once youve selected the routethis keeps your system (and your railroads power supplies) from overloading due to simultane ous activation of multiple switches. Clearing routes Example Clear Route #1
(erase all switch assignments) Press RTE Press 1 Press SET Route #1 is now ready for new switch assignments You cannot remove an individual switch from a RTE; you must clear the entire route and start again If you make an error during re-programming, do not press SET; start overpress RTE, the switch number, its position, and then press SET Clearing an existing route requires an abbreviated version of programming new route. In this case, do not add any switces to the route. This removes any switches previously stored as part of this route. 16 The TR button Tracks or Trains?
The TR button on your CAB-1L can control two very different thingsTRains, or remotely controlled TRack power accessories. You can run both from the same CAB-1L, as long as every one has a unique ID#. Lets talk TRACK power for a moment. Lionel offers a variety of accessories which provide remote control over track power. These enable you to remotely turn on and off power to all or some of your layout. In addition, some of these accessories allow you to vary the AC voltage applied to the track so you can run conventional (non-command controlled) locomotives on a command layout. You may also use variable track voltage to fine-tune performance of your accessories and command-controlled locomotives. To operate these track power control devices (for example, a LEGACY PowerMaster), youd assign them a unique TR ID#. Then theyd be addressed in the same way youve learned to operate a locomotive: by pressing TR and the ID# of the track power accessory you want to control. Refer to your track power accessory manual for specific information on setting these IDs and other operating instructions. The second use for the TR button, as weve noted, is to create and operate Trains, a combination of two or more locomotives and/or Command Control-equipped rolling stock, also referred to as a lash-up in the world of Lionel. Once youve grouped several things into a train, they operate together, as a single locomotive. A couple of important notes. First, older TMCC1 era equipment only supports TR commands 1-9. This is true for both track power accessories such as the original PowerMaster as well as older TMCC1 locomotives. Lionel LEGACY locomotives and power accessories such as the LEGACY PowerMaster accept TR commands addressed from 01-99! So if youre having trouble getting a piece of equipment to respond to TR commands, first try assigning it to TR 01-09 and see if that works. If that works, but higher numbered TR commands (10 and up) are ignored, stick with IDs 1-9. A further note about combining locomotives into TRAINs. Older TMCC1 and newer LEGACY locomotives cannot be combined into a single TRAIN. You can make TRAINs from two or more LEGACY engines, or two or more TMCC1 engines, but you cannot assign a mix of old and new locos to the same TRAIN ID#. For more information on using remote track power accessories, refer to those products owners manuals. Continue reading this manual to learn to combine multiple locomotives into a single TRAIN. 17 Advanced operating techniques Building Trains Example Build Train #07 with Engines
#13, #15, and #84 All locomotives reverse unit control switches set to FORWARD Address each engine individually with its engine ID Move each engine into position; do not couple them Front locomotive should be positioned in the forward direction (headlight in front);
middle and rear locomotives can face in either direction In Train #7, assign the lash-ups front engine
(Engne #13) using the F (Front) button:
We we operating two, three, or even four locomotives together we call it a lash-up in the world of Lionel. Running multiple locomotives together is Lionelvilles answer to steep grades, long trains, and extra-heavy loads. In the LEGACY system, lash-ups are addressed as TRAINSthe TR button on CAB-lL. When you build lash-ups with TrainMaster Command, several engines arc grouped under a single TR ID#. Train-building should be attempted only after you've mastered ordinary TrainMaster Command operations. Press TR Press 07 Press 13 Press F Press and release SET Hear the horn/whistle blow Assign the lash-ups middle engine
(Engine #5):
Press TR Press 07 Press 5 Press and release SET Note!
Hear the horn/whistle blow
(continued on next page) 18 Pick the locomotives in your lash-up and move them together (but dont couple them) using ENG and each ones ID#. Finallly, make certain each locomotives direction switch is on FORWARD/RUN (if applicable). Perform a locomotive reset (AUX1, 0) to see what the locomotives first-start direction is. Its possible to have a contrary locomotive thats simply following the direction of the reverse unit control switch. Note!
During train configuration, train addresses must be entered as two digits, using a leading zero for train addresses 01-09 (or 01-99 for LEGACY locomotives). If you press a wrong button while building a lash-up, start over with that particular locomotive assignment of the TR command; the assignment isnt sent until you press and release SET. Advanced operating techniques Building Trains (continued) Note!
Note!
Example If any engine in the lash-up faces backwards, press DIR before SET Assign the lash-ups rear locomotive (Engine
#84 facing backwards) using the R (Rear) button and DIR button:
Press TR Press 07 Press 84 Press R Press DIR Press and release SET Hear the horn/whistle blow Note!
Couple the locomotives by addressing them as ENGINES Reset the direction of the lash-up:
Press TR Press 7 Press AUX1 Press 0 Now all engines respond together when you address them as Train #7 (or #07). Note!
If an engine is out of sync after a TR reset, read Lash-up problem solving on page 23 ITS STILL AN ENGINE. Whenever a locomotive is in a lash-up, you can still individiually address it (using its ENG ID#) to adjust lighting, open individual couplers, trigger sounds and tune performance. STROBES STILL FLASH. Diesel locomotive auxilliary lights (example:
flashing warning lights/strobe lights) are independent of the lash-ups direction-specific illumination. In other words, if a lash-up rear locomotives headlight is dark, the strobe still flashes until extinguished by pressing 8 on the numeric keypad . LOCOMOTIVE CABS FACE 0UT. When operating strobe-equipped locomotives, make sure you build your lash-ups with locomotive cabs facing outwardthat is, not facing each other on lash-up-ending units. The reason: older strobe-equipped locomotives may not include directional headlights. To ensure such units headlights operate in lash-ups, position the outside locomotives so that their cabs face out. DITCH LIGHTS. Locomotive ditch lights (equipped engines only) operate in the locomotives standard forward direction only. 19 Advanced operating techniques Front, middle, rear and reverse-direction locomotives The examples on the previous pages illustrate the general pattern for assigning locomotives to trains. The position of each locomotive within the train is defined during the train assignment, via the F and R keys. F means the unit is placed first, at the head end of the train. R means the unit is placed last. Absence of a F or R means that the unit is placed in the middle of the train. The facing of a unit in a train is determined by whether or not the DIR key is pressed in the sequence ending with the SET key. If DIR isnt included, then the unit is facing forward. If the DIR key is included, then the unit is facing backward. To properly configure the sound of a train, assign the head end locomotive first. The rest of the locomotives can be assigned to the lash-up in any order. If the head engine is a LEGACY locomotive, we recommend you set the Quilling horn/whistle option for this TRAIN ID#. Addressing Trains Address Train #7 Example Press TR Press 7 (the ID#) Throttle up or press any command button. Note: For train operation (as opposed to assignment) it is optional to use a leading zero to address trains 1-9) When first operating a lash-up, press TR and its ID#
on CAB-1. Turn the throttle or press any command button; your lash-ups RailSounds sound system starts up and the engines are ready for operation. If youve shut down a lash-ups RailSounds system by pressing the 5 button on the numeric keypad, you can restart sounds by pressing the 3 button. Generally speaking, any command that your head locomotive will respond to when addressed as an engine (ENG) will work the same when when when sent to its train (TRN) ID. See the earlier section on sending basic and numeric commands to locomotives for more information. 20 Advanced operating techniques Removing locomotives from Trains You can remove any locomotive from a lash-up by assigning it to Train #00. Remember to remove all locomotives from a lash-up after youve physically separated the locomotives that made up the Train. Example Remove Engine #84 from its lash-up by reassigning it to Train #00 Press TR Press 00 Press 84 Press and release SET Hear the horn/whistle blow Engine #84 is no longer part of the Train 21 Advanced operating techniques Train problem solving Example Im operating Train #7; one out of sync engine fights the others Press TR Press 7 AUX1 Press 0 Hear the horn/whistle blow This resets the Train; do this whenever youve finished Train building or when you first begin running a lash-up. Still trouble?
Reassign the troublesome engine to the lash-up by either using or not using the DIR button. Do another Train reset and try again. Note!
Make sure you arent trying to assign a mix of TMCC1 and LEGACY locomotives to the same train. That wont work!
Example Im operating a Train that includes a number of locomotives, but the circuit breaker keeps tripping It is possible to operate up to 16 powered and unpowered and unpowered locomotives in a Train, if there is enough power on the track. If the circuit breaker keeps tripping, reduce the number of powered locomotives on the track by removing them from your Train. Hint Single-motored locomotives usually draw less power than dual-motored locomotives 22 Advanced operating techniques Notes on Trains Detail Detail Detail TRAIN BEHAVIOR. TrainMaster Command lash-ups act like real-life ones. Press HORN;
only the lead units horn blows. The same is true for BELL. The lead locomotives headlight illuminates while the others remain dark. Hit DIR and lighting reverses to that of the rear unit (equipped locomotives only). Press COUPLER F and the lash-ups front coupler will open; COUPLER R opens the lash-ups back coupler. PICK THE RIGHT NUMBER. The TR address button talks to remote controllable transformers TRACKs as well as TRAINs. Choose TRAIN ID#s with numbers different from your track power devices. lf you have remote controllable transformers assigned to TRACK IDs 1 , 2, and 3, use TRAIN ID#s from 04 to 99 (remember that TMCC1 locomotives only support TR addressed up to 9). BE TIDY. Always clear a Train once youve seperated its locomitves by assigning each member locomotive to Train #00. This restores engine functions that may have been changed during train configuration. 23 Advanced operating techniques Tuning Train performance Example Set momentum for Train #7 Press TR Press 7 L M H Press L, M, or H (choose one) TRAIN MOMENTUM Press L, M, or H (located under the removable panel) for light, medium, or heavy lash-up momentum. Your Command Control-
equipped locomotives remember this setting until you change it. TRAIN STALL. Train #7s momentum setting has been changed Note!
Note!
Setting TR momentum erases preexisting ENG momentum settings for all locomotives in the lash-up Not all Lionel Locomotives support Stall. The following is relevant if your lash-up includes Lionel Pulmor-type locomotives. Get your Train moving slowly. Press SET; the lash-up stops. Turn the throttle clockwise to get the lash-up moving, then decrease speed until the lash-up just stops. Press SET again. Stall has been set. Even if your lash-up doesnt move after turning the throttle, just press SET again. Stall will be set. The lash-up remembers this setting until you change it. If the locomotives in your lash-up are of different types and do not all start at once (even after setting train stall), fine-tune the lash-ups performance by setting stall individually for each locomotive in the Train. See the section on setting locomotive stall voltage. Detail WHY STALL? In command control, stall voltage gives locomotives a common start threshold. When you run a lash-up with stall set, every locomotive will begin moving in unison. Turning the throttle down completely turns each locomotive down to its own stall setting. 24 Advanced operating techniques Sticky keys Example Master sticky keys by operating a variety of trains and accessories Press ENG Press 1 Engine #1 is ready; power it up Press SW Press 34 Press OUT Switch #34 throws out (curved); this switch is now stuck in CAB-1s memory; press OUT/THROUGH any time without SW and only Switch #34 will respond Press WSTL/HRN Engine #1s horn sounds; all CAB-1 command buttons are still active for Engine #1you dont need to press ENG or the ID# to get response Press and hold BRAKE Engine #1 slow and stops; release when ready to proceed Press THROUGH Switch #34 throws through; you dont need to press SW or the ID#

(continued on next page) 25 With CAB-1L, total control of your railroad is in your hands. And experiencing that control is even easier when you master CAB-1L s sticky keys. In basic terms, sticky keys mean that once youve pressed a top-row button
(SW, ACC, RTE, 11. or ENG) and a specific ID#, CAB-1L will control that engine, train, or accessory until you tell it to control another one. For example, press ENG and an ID#, and CAB-1L remembers that locomotive. Press the command buttons you want (HRN/WSTL, BELL, DIR, BOOST, BRAKE, COUPLER F or R, or AUX l and AUX2) and CAB-1L speaks to your chosen Command-equipped locomotive. You dont need to re-enter the ID#. You dont even have to press ENG again. A locomotive, switch, or accessory sticks with CAB-1L until you choose another. Sticky keys also give you the power to jump between control of locomotives, consists, switches, routes, and accessories without re-entering ID#s. Jump between ENGs and TRs simply by pressing the address buttons. Throw switches and routes, and your command buttons like HRN /WSTL activate the last engine or train you spoke to. You can even use dual-function buttons like AUXl and AUX2 to throw switches or open the numeric keypad for locomotive feature control simply by hitting SW or ENG /TR first. An ID# is stuck in CAB-lLs memory until:
1. you enter another ID #, or 2. you change CAB-lLs batteries. The CAB-1L NEVER FORGETS. Once you select an ENG or TR, SW or ACC. CAB-1 retains that ID# in its memory, even when you press other top-row address keys like SW, RTE, or ACC. THIS SYSTEM CAN HANDLE IT. The LEGACY Control System allows for the continuous operation of up to 100 locomotives. The only limitations: available power and operator capability.

Make sure each components on lamp is illuminated (if applicable). Make sure the circuit breakers on your power transformers are not tripped; reset them as necessary. Verify track voltage with a test light. If all connections are secure and a lamp does not illuminate, contact your Lionel Customer Service for assistance. Verify that your CAB-1L and Base-1L are set to the same channel. Another nearby device may be operating on the same frequency, try changing BOTH CAB-1L and Base-1L to a new channel and re-test. The Command Base-1Ls green light is off. Make sure the Bases power supply is properly plugged into a grounded 3-pin outlet. Also check the power connector to ensure it is snug in the Command Base-1Ls power input. The green light should illuminate. The Command Base-1Ls red light doesnt blink when I send CAB-1L commands. Try a new location for the Command Base; CAB-1L communications are not being properly received. Press WSTL/HORN and watch the red light for response (it should blink). Avoid metal surfaces when installing the Command Base-1L. Metal detunes the Bases antenna and causes poor reception. lf you must use a metal table or shelf, place a nonmetallic spacer at least 2 in height between the Base-1L and the metal surface. Check CAB-lLs alkaline batteries. Remove one battery; then reinstall it. Make sure batteries are fresh and properly installed. You should hear a small chirp with every button press. Tum off any interfering electronic devices in your railroad area: tele visions, computers, WiFi devices and CB radios. I programmed my ENG ID, but the engine wont move. Make sure the red light is blinking on the Command Base-1L when you send CAB-1L commands. This says your CAB-1L commands are being received by the Command Base-1L. Check your wiring connection between the Base and either your power transformer or common rails. The Base-1Ls communication wire should be attached to the common (U) binding post of your transformer or the outisde rail. Make sure no derailments have occurred. Make sure your track has power by using a test lightfor example, an illuminated freight or passenger car. Check track-power circuit breakers. Reset if necessary Make certain there are no connections between your railroad and either earth ground or power-line ground. Reprogram the locomotives ID#. Slide the program/run switch to program. Put the locomotive on unpowered track. Make sure the Command Base is on. Power up your track. Now, press ENG, the locomotives ID#, and SET. The horn or whistle should sound, indicating receipt of the new programming. Slide the switch back to run. Press ENG and the ID#, WSTL /HIRN or tum the throttle. Your locomotive should respond. I turned the throttle, but my locomotive doesnt respond. Check batteries! Press any key to make sure CAB-1L is awake and try again. Check for blinking red light on Base-1L while turning the throttle. Blinking indicates throttle commands are being sent; problem may be with loco. Readdress the locomotive: press ENG and its ID number. It should now respond to any command button press or throttle change. My locomotive is acting kind of strange. How can I reset it?
Presss AUXI and O on the keypad. This resets your locoomotive. Shut down the track power to the locomotive for 10 seconds after Raibounds finishes its shuts down
(assuming you have a battery installed in your loco). This restarts the computer inside your locomotive. 27 Problem Solving Answers to questions (continued) I want to run my conventional locomotives, but they take off at full speed. Use a track power transformer or accessory that can provide variable AC power to the track, allowing for the operation of conventional locomotives, also known as transitional command control. Note that you can only operate one conventional train per track power block. Im running one conventional locomotive and a few Command-equipped engines at the same time, but theyre all running slowly. When you operate in transitional command control, the track power level selected for the conventional locomotive (in essence, its speed) is also the maximum voltage available to all Command-equipped locomotives addressed and in action. To increase the maximum speed potential of all locomotives in operation, increase the AC voltage being delivered to the track. The conventional locomotives speed will increase, and all Command-equipped locomotives in action now have a higher maximum operating speed as well. My locomotive takes forever when I throttle it up. Reset its momentum to LOW. Your locomotive remembers the momentum setting until you change it. Make sure enough power is being applied to the track. Hint: test using a small lamp or lighted car. Why is there no neutral You dont need neutral in command control. A Command-equipped locomotive doesnt move until its been addressed, so the neutral state in the reverse unit isnt necessary. If you want a locomotive to stay put as if in neutral, simply stop it and select another locomotive. I built a consist with two locomotives, but it wont respond when I press TR and its ID number. Carefully repeat the consist set-up sequence. Make sure you selected a TRAIN (TR) ID# that doesnt identify a track power transformer accessory or another TRAIN consist on your railroad. The locomotives in my consist seem to fight each other. Do not mix LEGACY and TMCC1 locomotives in the same consist. Reset the consists direction: press TR, the trains ID#, AUXI, and 0. This re-programs each member of the consist to begin operating in their normal TRAIN start direction. Set ALL reverse unit control switches to FORWARD. Reprogram the contrary engine with or without the DIR button command during the consist build sequence. I want one of the locomotives in my consist to face backward. How can I do that?
Include the DIR command in your consist programming string. For example, if your F3 #89 is to be the rear engine in the consist facing backward, press TR, the consist ID#, 89, R, DIR, and SET. This tells the F3 that it should operate in reverse during forward consist operations. When I operate my consist, the circuit breaker on my track power accessory trips. Try reducing the number of motors in the consist. Make sure you dont have two TRAINS with the same ID#. The locomotives in my consist all seem to start differently, even though I set the stall voltage for he consist. If youre operating differing locomotives in a consist (for example, a postwar F3, MPC Geep, and LTI RS3), each locomotive will start at a different voltage threshold. Try fine-tuning the stall voltage for the consist by setting individual stall voltages for each locomotive. See Tuning consist performance. 28 Problem Solving Answers to questions (continued) I connected my switches to throw but theyre not working. You must program each switch controller accessory with IDs before you can operate the switches. Verify the switch in question is receiving power. I programmed switch numbers for every one, but now I cant remember which switch is which!
Place numbered flags or stickers at each switch. This will help you remember switch numbers; later, you can remove them. A layout diagram with numbered switch locations can also help. Small divisional diagrams positioned around a large layouts perimeter can provide another solution. When I address a switch and press AUX1 to make it go straight, it throws to the curve. Reverse the outer wires (those connected to the two outside binding post on 022 and Q-72 switches) either at the switch or at the switch controller. I incorrectly entered some information when programming a RTE. What should I do?
Making errors during route programming is no big deal. Just remember that as long as you dont press SET, you havent programmed anything. Start over at the RTE command for that particular switch; RTE. route ID#, RTE, route ID#, the switch number, the direction you want the switch to throw (AUXI or AUX2), and final ly. SET. Pressing SET commits the command string to memory. If you pressed SET already, read on. I added a switch to a route that I dont really want. How can I remove it?
You must clear the entire route and reprogram it. Press RTE. route ID# and SET. This erases all switch assignments in the route. My train derailed and I want to shut down its trackbut I dont want to deactivate the entire layout. Shut down the track power accessory controlling that block of track: press TR, the devices ID#, AUXI, and 0. To reactivate, press TR, its ID#, and BOOST. After fixing a derailment (or experiencing an accidental power interrupt), my locomotive runs finebut RailSounds isnt responding to CAB-1 commands. After a derailment has been corrected, your Command-equipped Lionel may work normally though RailSounds does not fully respond to CAB-1L button commands. If your loco has a battery installed for the Railsounds system, reset Railsounds by removing all power from the track, wait for RailSounds to completely shut down, then wait 5 more seconds. Power up the track again, address the locomotive, and full sound performance should be restored. After fixing a derailment (or experiencing an accidental power interrupts), my diesel RailSounds is still onat full RPMsand wont shut off. Power up your track. RailSounds will return to idle and is ready for operation. My kid likes running trains, but she runs em too fast. Is there anything I can do?
Set a maximum voltage output for every track power controller installed on your railroad. Bulbs keep burning out all over my railroad. Help!
Light bulbs powered by constant voltage may burn out quicker than those receiving variable voltage during If youre using a Lionel ZW or other manually operated hobby transformer, turn down its output. conventional operations. Replace them with higher-voltage bulbs. 29 Problem Solving Answers to questions (continued) 30 Glossary The language of command control Accessory Any operating accessory produced by Lionel, American Flyer, or Marx. Addressing To call a device using a numeric name, known as an ID#
Address buttons The top row of buttons on CAB-1L that selects various locomotive and layout elements. Addresses include switch
(SW), accessory (ACC), route (RTE), track and train (TR), and engine (ENG). Block An electrically isolated section of Lionel track, separated from the normal flow of transformer-supplied voltage by the presence of plastic insulating pins located in the center rail at either end of the block. Block control A form of model railroad locomotive control that uses electrically isolated blocks and manually or automatically controls the distribution of power. Coil couplers Operating locomotive couplers that feature an electromagnetic coil. When energized, the coil opens the coupler without the aid of a remote uncoupling session. Command Base-1L The component that generates digital communications in response to CAB-1L commands and narrow-casts its communication on the common (outside) rails of any Lionel railroad. Command buttons The large buttons on CAB-1L that controls locomotive functions. Command buttons include whistle/horn, bell, direction, boost, brake, coupler front and rear, and AUX1/AUX2. Command control A method for controlling model locomotives that involves the simultaneous operation of multiple locomotives;
also includes total layout control (switches, accessories, and more). In TrainMaster Command, command control involves the use of digital signaling on the track which is picked up by specially equipped locomotives, enabling the locomotives to perform individually on the same track without complicated wiring schemes. Command-equipped A description that means a locomotive is capable of responding to TMCC1 and possibly TMCC2 commands. Command-equipped locomotives run in both command and conventional operating environments. Constant (continuous) voltage A steady application of electricity applied to the track. In command control, constant voltage is usually in the 18-volt range. Only command-equipped locomotives will operate properly in a constant voltage environment. Conventional operations The transitional way of running Lionel trains: track power up the locomotive moves; track power down, the locomotive stops. Generally involves the operation of only one locomotive at a time. Division A large, electrically isolated section of model railroad. Usually encompasses a number of electrically isolated track power control accessories with the same ID#. This ID# is known as the division number. 31 Glossary The language of command control (continued) Ground The common or return electrical device. Ground is the electrical pathway that must be connected to SC-1 for proper operation. Hot The direct pathway of electricity that first passes through an electrical device. The side of a transformer that is not connected to track ground. ID#
The one- or two-digit number that helps identify a locomotive, switch, accessory, etc. to the Command Base or when issuing command with CAB-1L. Lash-up A multiple locomotive set; consist. Momentum A locomotive behavior that simulates the performance of a real-life engine laboring under load. Neutral The nonmoving operational state in a three-position reverse unit. When operating in the Command environment, Command-equipped locomotives do not have a neutral state like they do in conventional realms. Numeric keypad The 10-digit (0-9) section of the CAB-1L layout that allows you to issue ID#s as well as special locomotive commands when preceded by a press of AUX1. Phasing The act of matching power applied to a model railroad. When a railroad features multiple power supplies, each supplys output must be phased at block boundaries to prevent excess third-rail sparking and digital communication problems during operation. Route A multi-switch pathway around your railroad. Switches thrown in select directions cause a train to proceed around a layout in a specific waya route. Stall A voltage level that is not enough to energize a locomotives motor into movement but is enough to keep that locomotives reverse unit from sequencing to the next operational state. Stall can be used to tune engine performance and to match lash-up start thresholds among differing locomotive types. Not all Lionel command-
equipped locomotives need or support the stall feature. Switch A section of railroad track that allows one tract to diverge into twoor combine two tracks into one. Also called a turnout. Throttle The Circle-L knob on the CAB-1 that controls locomotive speed and PowerMaster voltage output settings. Transitional command control A way of operating TrainMaster Command that retains the digital signaling required for individual locomotive control but foregoes continuous track voltage in favor of variable track power, as a conventional operations. Variable power allows for the operation of non-Command-equipped engines. 32 Glossary The language of command control (continued) Turnout A railroad switch. ZW A high-output alternating-current transformer produced by the Lionel Corporation from 1948-1969; sufficient power for TrainMaster Command railroads. 33 FCC Statement The Lionel CAB-1L and Base-1L are covered by FCC rules for a Class B computing device.
