Frequently asked questions

Can I power the locomotive with a DC transformer?

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.

What do I need to operate the locomotive in the Command Control environment?

You need a Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868), both available separately.

How do I lock the locomotive into a single direction?

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.

Do the ElectroCouplers open in the conventional environment?

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.
