Tuning your locomotive performance
MOMENTUM
Simulate the labored performance of a
locomotive pulling a heavy load with
momentum. Press L, M, or H (located under
CAB-1’s removable panel) for light, medium
or heavy momentum. The R2IR remembers
the setting until you change it. For delayed
response, use H. For quick response, choose L.
BOOSTING AND BRAKING
Use the BOOST and BRAKE command but-
tons for incremental control of speed and a
superior method for handling grades, stops-
and-starts, and more. Plus, using BRAKE in
the Command environment gives you a
bonus RailSounds effect—the ultra-realistic
sound of squealing brakes.
STALL
Make your locomotive feel more responsive
by setting a “stall” voltage. Get your locomo-
tive moving, then press SET; the locomotive
will stop. The headlight will flash, indicating
it’s in the SET mode. Turn the throttle clock-
wise to get the locomotive moving, then
decrease speed until the locomotive just
stops. Then press SET again; the R2IR
remembers the stall setting until you change
it. To clear stall, press SET twice, holding it
for one second each time.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press ENG, the locomotive ID#, then press
SET; the headlight will flash. Get your loco-
motive moving to the maximum speed you
want it to run, then press BOOST. Use this to
keep your locomotive from accidentally
being derailed at high speed.
To clear setting, press ENG,
the ID#, then immediately
press BOOST.
SOUND QUALITY
To achieve your preferred RailSounds mas-
ter volume level, use the volume control dial
located on the bottom of the tender (see
page 8). Turn the dial left or right to adjust
the volume to your liking.
For quick remote-control of volume below
the master setting—like muting—use the
CAB-1 numeric keypad’s volume control.
Pressing AUX1 and 4 on the keypad lowers
overall RailSounds output.
These settings will be lost when you
assign a new locomotive ID number.

TrainMaster Command operations
S peed control in Command mode is auto-
matic. Simply adjust the speed to the desired level, and the Odyssey System will
maintain it over grades, etc.
