BASE STATION/SUPER RECEIVER CAPABILITIES
This is a base station to control the track or battery power. This receiver will control the one
track your train is running on without modifying the locomotive in any way.
However, the Receiver can also be used in a trailing car to allow multiple trains to run on the
same track.
When used as a Super Receiver you have enough power to control up to 4 locomotives
depending on grades and the number of cars pulled. You will not have the individual control of
several locos, but can operate multiple trains at the same time together. This Super Receiver
will work on either track power or battery power. If track power is used you will need leads
from the truck up to the car to supply the track power to the receiver. Battery is, of course, on
board the trailing car itself. This unit comes with sound, diesel SD or steam SS. The Base
Station/ Super Receiver should be kept inside a structure near the track or in a covered
gondola or box car to protect it from the elements.
Install the Remote Link Switch

There is a Red ‘push button’ on the receiver as an alternative Link Switch to program the
receiver, also.
When using a trailing car Locate a place to install the supplied Remote Link Switch where it
will be accessible from the outside of the car.
