e.MOMENTUM
- If momentum is set to 0 (zero) your locomotive will accelerate
rapidly if you press and hold the UP ARROW key. Its speed will instantly
become what it is set to. As the momentum setting is increased the time that it
takes the locomotive to catch up with the speed setting you set increases. This
means that you can set the speed to 60% by holding the UP ARROW key for a
few seconds but the locomotive may take several more seconds to actually make
it to that speed. Use the t and u keys to select the amount of Momentum that
you want to apply to the locomotive you are defining.
Momentum And Step Speed (described later) both effect how quickly a
locomotive will reach its top speed.
f.DELAY
- When the direction of the locomotive is reversed this setting
determines how long, in seconds, that the locomotive will be completely stopped
before it starts up again in the other direction. The range is 0 to 5 seconds in
1/10th second increments. Use the t and u keys to select the amount of delay, in
seconds, that you want your locomotive to wait before reversing direction.
g.MOTOR
- This item sets the default direction of travel when the transmitter
says the locomotive is going forward. This can be set to NOR (normal) or REV
(reverse). If set to NOR the locomotive will go forward when the transmitter
shows that it is going forward. If set to REV the locomotive will go backwards
when the transmitter shows that it is going forward. This is used primarily when
you are operating multiple locomotives (MUing) and you want them to run back-
to-back. Use the t and u keys to select the Motor default direction.
h.HD DIR
- This can be set to NOR (normal) or REV (reverse). If set to NOR
the headlight on the locomotive will come on when the locomotive is going
forward. If set to REV the headlight will come on when the locomotive is going
backwards. This is useful if your headlights do not match the direction of travel
of the locomotive. Use the t and u keys to change the headlight direction.
i.HD LIGHT
- This can be set to ON or OFF. If set to ON the headlight will
operate normally. If set to OFF the headlight will not function. This function is
used when adding locomotives into a Multiple Unit consist. Typically only the
lead locomotive has it’s headlight on when operating and all trailing units have
their headlights off. Use the t and u keys to set the headlight to On of Off.
j.TOP SPEED
- Sets the locomotives top speed as a percentage of its possible
top speed. This comes in handy if you have visitors who are operating your trains
and have been known to run them at too high a speed. If you set this to 70% that
is all the faster the locomotive will go, 70% of its possible top speed. Use the t
and u keys to set the locomotives Top Speed.
k.START SPEED
- Sets the speed at which acceleration of the locomotive
begins. If you have a large locomotive or one that is pulling a long, heavy train
you can set the start speed so that the power level will jump to the set percentage
as soon as you begin accelerating. For example, if you have a locomotive that
doesn’t start moving till the throttle setting is at 25% you can set the start speed to
that number and not have to wait for the speed to get to that level before the train
moves. As soon as you press the UP ARROW key the speed will jump to 25%
