TrainMaster Command Control operations
Assigning new ID#’s to your locomotives
W hile you may operate your locomotive set as a lash-up, you will want to give each unit a
unique ID#. Each locomotive will respond to commands associated with its ID# while all
other units will disregard these commands. This allows you to open the appropriate
ElectroCouplers and set the directional lighting.
To restore your locomotive set’s functions, see page 24.
1. Slide the Command reverse unit switch on your locomotive to the PGM position. See Figure 1
on page 7 for the locations of the Command reverse unit switch on each unit.
Work with only one locomotive at a time.
2. Place the locomotive set on the track.
3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.
4. Power up the track.
5. Press ENG.
6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 99 that has not been assigned to
another locomotive set (ENG). We recommend using a part of your locomotive’s cab
number.
7. Press SET. The locomotive’s horn will sound or the lights will flash.
8. Slide the Command reverse unit switch back to the RUN position.
The locomotive’s ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference. Be sure
to build a new lash-up using this ENG ID#. See page 23.
