No. Power the locomotive only with an alternating-current (AC) transformer at 8-18 volts; a direct-current (DC) transformer may damage sensitive electronic components.
You need a Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868), both available separately.
Get the locomotive moving in the desired direction, slow it without stopping, and slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PGM position. Slide it back to RUN to restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence.
No. In the conventional environment the ElectroCouplers will not open manually or with a Remote-Control Track section; you must use rolling stock with a magnetic coupler.
