Lionel
CAB-1L & BASE-1L
Owner’s Manual
Welcome to LEGACY command control
he CAB-1L is the simple way to start operating in the LIONEL LEGACY Command Control
environment – and an economical way to add operators when running trains with friends!
Whether you want to access the basic features of the LEGACY control or operate our older TrainMaster
command control (TMCC1) equipment, the CAB-1L remote controller allows you to walk around
your layout while controlling your trains. The Base-1L receives signals from the remote and sends
your commands across the layout.
If you already have a LEGACY Base (6-14295), you can simply add one or more CAB-1L remotes
to your existing LEGACY layout—no need for the Base-1L. If you are looking to get started with
the LEGACY Control System, the combination of CAB-1L and Base-1L are an affordable way to start
unlocking many of Lionel’s celebrated features. Only one Base (either the LEGACY Base or the Base1L) should be used on a layout.
You may use a combination of LEGACY CAB-2 and CAB-1L remotes with a single LEGACY Base.
However, only CAB-1L’s may be used with the Base-1L.

Introduction
Using this manual
e designed this manual to give you more than just a solid start in command control. There’s
detailed discussion as you learn more, so you’ll find plenty of helpful information, no matter
what your level of expertise.
Getting started is easy. Just go section by section. For additional information, refer to smaller-print
sections marked Detail.
Example
Most important are the Example boxes. Each is designed to make learning
TrainMaster Command quick and easy. Read the text, then press the button
commands listed in the Example. Before you know it, you’ll be operating
locomotives, switches, and accessories from CAB-lL’s keypad like a pro.
There’s even a glossary to define the terms covered in the manual. If a word or concept is new to
you, look it up. The index helps you locate subjects by referencing key words.
Go through each example step by step, repeating the commmands. You can’t "hurt" the system
by pressing the wrong button. The LEGACY Control System is more than just a sophisticated way of
operating Lionel trains ­— it’s also a rugged example of modern technology.
The only rule: have fun.
Preparing your railroad for TrainMaster Command
ny three-rail, alternating current-powered model railroad can beome a LEGACY railroad. Before
you install the Command Base-1L, do these things.
First, make sure there are no short circuits anywhere on your railroad. Second, make sure all
power supplies are in phase. Finally, consider the power requirements for everything connected to the
track: switches, bulbs, operating cars, illuminated cars, and more.
TrainMaster Command operates on constant, high voltage, so some bulbs may burn out
prematurely. If they do, replace them with 18-volt bulbs. Remove or disconnect items you believe may
not benefit from constant voltage.
Command Base
Installing the Command Base
Plug the power supply’s cable
into the Base-1L’s power input,
then plug the power supply into
a properly grounded wall outlet
(110 volts, 50/60 cycles).
ou need a CAB-1L remote to operate the Command
Base-1L. (The CAB-2 won’t work with Base-1L. However,
you can mix CAB-1L and CAB-2’s on the same layout by using
a LEGACY Base.)
To install the Command Base-1L, plug the power supply
power cable into the Base input. Plug the power supply into
a standard wall outlet (110 volts, 50 or 60 cycles). The outlet
must be properly grounded. The Base-1L’s top-mounted green
light will illuminate. The Command Base-1L doesn’t have an
on/off switch, so you may leave it on at all times. lf you prefer
to turn it off after operating sessions, use a power strip with a
circuit breaker and on/off switch. Doing so lets you electrify all
transformers and the Command Base at once.
Note! COMMAND BASE POWER SUPPLY. Do not use the
Command Base’s power supply to power any other
device. Its three-prong plug is unique.
Next, connect a wire between the Command Base binding
post and the common (U) terminal on all transformers
powering your track. Or, connect the wire to your track’s
outside rail at any convenient location. You've just installed
The LEGACY Control System on your railroad.
Connect a wire between the
Command Base's binding post
and the common ( U) terminal
on all transformers powering
your track. You can also connect
the wire between the Base-1L and
the outside rail of your track.
(Connect the wire to both outside
rails if you use hi·rail track.)
Be sure the outside (common) rail is electrically
continuous throughout your entire layout–this enables
unimpeded communication around the track plan. If your
layout has block control, make sure only the center (or "hot")
rail is insulated with insulating pins at block boundaries.
Insulating both outside rails at block boundaries will obstruct
the Command Base’s signaIs.
Hint!
Be sure the Command Base-1L is ON
before you place your Command Controlequipped locomotive on track. Then
bring up track power. When the Base-1L is
ON, your Command-equipped Lionel locomotives
instantly know they’re on a LEGACY railroad. If the
Base-1L is�OFF, the locomotive will operate like an
ordinary engine when power is applied.
Setting the communication channel
CAB-1L & Base-1L radio channel selection
he CAB-1L communicates with the Base-1L at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Within this band, there are
nine distinct channels available for your use, the default channel is 1. Chances are, channel 1
will be fine for your layout and you’ll have no need to change channels on your system.
However, the 2.4 Ghz frequency spectrum is also used by WiFi, cordless phones and various
other devices you may have near your layout. If you are having trouble maintaining reliable
communication between your Lionel remote and layout, experiment with different channels
following the instructions shown here.
Note!
Remember that all your remotes must be set to the same channel number as your
Base (this is true for Base-1L as well as the LEGACY Base). To see or change the current
channels on CAB-2 and LEGACY Base, refer to the owner’s manual for those products.
When changing channels, first change your BASE-1L to the desired channel, then change
Hint! the CAB-1L to match.
Start by selecting the radio channel for Base-1L:
1. Press the button on the side of the Base-1L once. The Base’s green LED will blink up to
nine times, which indicates the current channel number. After a pause the blink pattern
repeats. It will do this for a couple of minutes, and then return to normal operating mode
unless the button is pressed again.
2. While the Base-1L is blinking its channel number, pressing the button a second time
changes the current radio channel to the next higher frequency. Keep pressing the button
until the desired radio channel is reached, as indicated by the blink pattern. Immediately
proceed to the next step (see next page), and change the radio channel selection for your
CAB-1L. Once that is done, the channel blinking pattern on your Base-1L will cease.
Channel Select
Setting the communication channel
CAB-1L & Base-1L radio channel selection (continued)
Then Select the radio channel for CAB-1L:
1. Remove the sliding cover over the SET key at the bottom front of the CAB-1L.
2. Hold down the SET key and press a number key (1 - 9) to pick the radio channel to transmit on.
3. The speaker will beep to give feedback when the channel is configured, either one beep if a base
responds, or three beeps if no base responds. The new channel number will be saved.
Both types of beeps mean that a channel has been configured, but if there happens to be a base
in range when the channel is set, then the one beep signal means that communication has been
established with the base. Three beeps means that no base responded when test commands were
transmitted by the CAB-1L during channel configuration. If this happens when a base is within range,
then it may be that the base is set to a different channel than the one you just selected for your CAB1L (see Base-1L channel selection).
Once you’ve heard the “single-beep” confirming your CAB-1L has connected to a Base (either
Base-1L or LEGACY Base) you’re all set. You can further confirm communication is working by
turning the throttle or pressing a button on your remote. The red LED on your base should illuminate
in response to incoming commands.
Note!
Once you start this process, make sure to change all remotes to the new channel
assignment!

Command-equipped locomotives
Programming ID#s for your Command-equipped locomotives
Example
Assign an engine ID# to
Santa Fe 2343 on Track #1
Command Base ON, track power off
Slide the locomotive PROGRAM/RUN
switch to PRG/PROG/PROGRAM
Place locomotive on track
Turn track power on
Set TMCC ID to Engine #23:
Press ENG
Press 23 (the ID#)
Press and release the SET (under
removable front panel at the
bottom-front of your CAB-1L)
Hear horn/whistle sound (or see the
headlight flash)
Slide the switch back to the RUN
position.
Your engine remembers its ID# forever;
change it any time—just repeat these
steps
SET
very Command-equipped locomotive comes
factory-programmed with TMCC ID Engine #1.
You may wish to assign a new ID#, using any number
from 1 through 98 (do not use engine 99, as this is the
universal ID# that all LEGACY-equipped locomotives
will respond to). To make it easy to remember,
try using part of the locomotive cab number. For
example, ID your Lionel F3 no. 2343 to "#23" or
"#43." We use 23 in our example.
Here’ s how to give a Command-equipped
locomotive its new ID#. Make sure the Command
Base-1L is ON. Refer to the Command-equipped
locomotive owner’s manual(s) for PROGRAM/
RUN switch locations. Holding the locomotive, slide
its control switch to the PRG, PROG or PROGRAM
setting. Place the locomotive on track and power up
your railroad.
Using CAB-1L, press ENG, the ID# (any number 1
to 98), then press and release the SET button located
under the removable panel on CAB-1. Hear the horn
or whistle blow, or the headlight flash. This confirms
your new ID #. Slide the switch back to RUN and
you’re ready to go.
Want to change your locomotive’s ID#? Just repeat
these steps any time.
Command-equipped locomotives
Addressing locomotives
Example
Address Engine #23
Press ENG
Press 23 (the ID#)
To operate a Command-equippcd locomotive, press
ENG and its ID# on CAB-1. Turn the throttle or press
any command button; the sound system starts up
(equipped locomotives) and the engine is ready to
begin operations.
Throttle up or press any comand button
Activating whistle quilling on LEGACY locomotives (optional)
The Quilling Whistle is a key feature of LEGACY locomotives. “Quilling” allows you to
continuously vary the intensity of the whistle, creating your own unique signature sound. But by
default, CAB-1L sends TMCC style horn commands in order to be compatible with non-LEGACY
locomotives. Because LEGACY locomotives respond to these older commands, too, you’ll still hear
horn or whistle sounds, but you won’t be able to quill.
To set Quilling horn/whistle for one engine or train ID:
1. Remove the sliding cover to expose the SET key at the bottom-front of the CAB-1L.
2. Select a current engine or train in the usual way by pressing either ENG and enter the ID#
or TR and enter the ID#.
3. Hold down the SET key and press the WSTL/HRN key to toggle the whistle configuration
between TMCC1 and LEGACY style for the current engine or train. The CAB-1L will beep
once if the TMCC1 whistle style is selected, or it will beep twice if the LEGACY quilling
whistle is selected instead.
Repeat this process for each LEGACY locomotive ID. Note that this horn setting for engines and
trains is saved internally within the CAB-1L itself. This means that if more than one CAB-1L is being
used on your layout, each one must be programmed to set the horn style for a given engine or train.
Note!
Remember that older TMCC1 locomotives don’t support quilling and won’t sound at all
in response to LEGACY quilling commands. If an engine stops responding to the WSTL/
HRN button, but its bell is working correctly, change back to TMCC1-style whistle for that
particular Engine ID and all will be well.
Command-equipped locomotives
Sending basic commands to locomotives with CAB-1L
The corresponding RailSounds sound system effects are in bold italic type.
Some locomotives may not support all listed features.
Opens your locomotive's front coil coupler
(equipped locomotives). Coupler release
sound.
Opens your locomotive’s rear coil coupler (equipped
locomotives). Coupler release sound.
Toggles the locomotive's headlight on and off.
Controls the speed of your locomotive. Turn the
THROTTLE to the right to accelerate, to the left to
decelerate. There is no “stop.”If you don't press a
button or turn the throttle for 30 seconds, CAB-1L goes
into battery-saving “sleep” mode. Turn the
throttle or press any button to “wake” it up.
Activates the locomotive’s horn or whistle as long
as you hold the button. Steam whistle or
diesel horn sound.
Press BELL to activate the bell, again to
discontinue. Steam bell or diesel bell
sound.
In command control, DIR operates differently than
in conventional Lionel operations. Press DIR—the
locomotive decelerates to complete stop; turn the throttle up, and the locomotive will
accelerate in the new, opposite direction. THERE IS NO NEUTRAL. Steam or diesel
letoff sound.
Press and hold BOOST for extra power. Release BOOST and your locomotive returns to
its previous speed. Labored chuff sound, fuller diesel prime mover.
Press and hold BRAKE when you want to slow down or stop. Release BRAKE and your
locomotive returns to its previous speed. Squealing brake sounds. Coasting
chuff, quieter prime mover.
Press HALT for emergency stops only. HALT stops all Command-equipped locomotives
in action and shuts down all remotely-controlled track power transformers.

Command-equipped locomotives
Tuning your locomotive’s performance
SETTING MOMENTUM
The LEGACY system’s momentum feature simulates the
labored performance of a real life locomotive pulling a heavy
SET L M H
load. Press L, M, or H (located under CAB-lL’s removable
panel) for light, medium, or heavy momentum. The locomotive
remembers this setting until you change it. For normal (quick) locomotive response, press L.
Get a feel for the difference in momentum settings. Select L, M, or H. Turn your throttle slightly
and wait a few seconds for the locomotive to respond.
Note that on LEGACY/TMCC2 locomotives, L, M and H settings change the number of individual
speed steps your locomotive supports. A setting of L gives 32 speed steps, M yields100 speed steps and
H provides 100 speed steps with added momentum.
SETTING STALL
Make your locomotive feel more responsive with stall (this tip is especially applicable to Pulmorpowered TMCC locos). Get your locomotive moving and press SET; the locomotive will stop. Tum
the throttle clockwise to get the engine moving, then decrease speed until the looomotive just stops.
Press SET again. Even if your locomotive doesn't move after turning the throttle, just press SET
again. Stall will be set. Your locomotive remembers the stall setting until you change it. To clear
stall, press SET twice, holding it for one second each time.
Detail STALL EXPLAINED. Set a command-equipped locomo­tive's stall, and it skips from zero
power to stall when you turn the throttle. Stall eliminates unnecessary throttle rotation—
making your locomotive more responsive.
Note! Not all engines support Stall.
11
Command-equipped locomotives
Sending numeric commands to locomotives
AUX1
hen you address a locomotive and press any non-numeric button such as AUXl,
you enable 10 numeric command buttons. Turning the throttle or entering more
than two digits for a locomotive address will also enable numeric commands. The numeric
keypad issues commands listed below until you press any top-row button (SW, ACC, RTE, TR, or ENG).
The corresponding RailSounds sound system effects are in bold italic type.
Halts and resets a locomotive. Resets direction to FORWARD or the control switch's direction
setting. Blows whistle or horn.
Raises the volume in RailSounds-equipped locomotives. Sound volume increases.
Dialog scene—engineer. speaks first. Scene varies in motion vs. stop, optional leading AUX-1.
Raises the RMP level in RailSounds--equipped diesel locomotives. Starts up RailSounds in any
currently addressed locomotive. RPMs increase. Steam blowoff. Startup sequence
commences.
Lowers the RPM level in RailSounds-equipped locomotives. Sound volume decreases.
When stopped, activates shutdown sound in RailSounds equipped locomotives. Horn/whistle, bell,
and RPMs will not sound until you restart RailSounds by pressing 3. (In motion, triggers dialog
scene). Steam or diesel shutdown sequence commences and/or dialog.
Lowers the RPM level in RailSounds-equipped diesels. RPMs decrease. Steam letoff.
Dialog scene--dispatcher speaks first. Scene varies in motion vs. stop, with or without leading AUX1.
Smoke OFF Air-release.
Smoke ON (see note below). Air-release.
Turns headlights on and off.

Command-equipped locomotives
Adjusting locomotive’s smoke level
Example
To adjust the smoke output level to Medium
Press AUX1
Press AUX2
Press 9
Press M
Press AUX2
So set smoke to Low or High, simply substitue the L or H in
place of the M key-press above.
13
Sound and smoke effects of the
engine can be trimmed higher
or lower depending on your
operating preference.
Switches
Controlling switches with CAB-1L
Example
To throw Switch #1 to “out”
Press SW
Once you’ve programmed switch ID numbers
(refer to the manual that came with your switch
controller for this proceedure), you can operate
any TMCC remote-controlled switch using CAB-1L.
Hint
Press 1
Press OUT
Switch #1 is now curved or “out”
Example
throw Switch #12 to “through”
SWITCH SHORTHAND. After addressing
a “switch”, you can immediately
address another switch simply by
entering its ID#—you don’t have to
press SW again. This is so until you
press another address button (ACC,
RTE, TR, or ENG).
Press SW
Press 12
Press THROUGH
Switch #12 is now curved or “through”
Notes on AUX1 and AUX2 definitions
s you’ll notice in these sections on switch and accessory control, the AUXl and AUX2 buttons on
CAB-1 gain new meaning. For switches, they are defined as “through” and “out,” respectively.
When it comes to accessories, they have even more (and different) functions.
AUXl and AUX2 are multi-definition buttons. Their definitions depend on which top-row address
button (ENG, SW, ACC, etc.) you most recently pressed.
For example, press SW and AUXl/ AUX2 control the direction of switches. Press ENG or TR and
AUXI “opens” the numeric keypad to locomotive feature control, while AUX2 controls headlight
illumination. Finally, when you press ACC, the buttons change meaning again, this time to control
accessory functions.
As you get comfortable with “jumping’’ between locomotives, switches, accessories, routes, and
multi-locomotive lash-ups (“trains”), you’ll acquire a feel for the many definitions of AUXl and
AUX2. Until then, just remember our basic CAB-1 rule: AUX1 and AUX2 functions always depend on
which top-row address button you’ve just pressed.

Switches
Creating routes around your railroad
Example
Assign switches #2 (through),
#4 (out), and #14 (through) to
Route #1
Command Base ON
Switch controller accessory is on
Begin programming, press RTE
Press 1 (route number)
Every model railroad has switches, which provide
plenty of operational variety, especially when
thrown in certain patterns—a route.
Here’s a common scenario: to travel from the main
line to the yard, you have a preset route: Switch #2
is through (straight), Switch #4 is out (curved),
and Switch #14 is through. If your switch
controller supports Routes, you can throw
all those switches with a single command—RTE.
Press 2 (the switch number)
Press THROUGH
Press SET
Switch #2 is in the “through” direction on
Route #1
Begin programming, press RTE
Press 1
Press 4 (the switch number)
Press OUT
Press SET
Switch #4 is in the “out” direction on Route
#1
Begin programming, press RTE
Detail SWITCHES AND ROUTES. Any
switch can be part of any route. And
any switch can be on any number
of routes, creating a wealth of
possibilities. Experiment. Discover
new pathways around your railroad
with RTE. Routes are remembered
forever—or until you clear them .
Press 1
Always check your RTE programming:
throw switches opposite the RTE direction,
then press RTE and the ID#; your route
should immediately throw.
Press 14 (the switch number)
Press THROUGH
Press SET
You can add more switches to a route at
any time.
Switch #14 is in the “through” direction on
Route #1
15
Switches
Activating routes
Example
Address Route #1
Press RTE
Press 1 for one full second
Route #1 has been selected. Switch #2 is
THROUGH, Switch #4 is OUT, and Switch
#14 is THROUGH
Select any route you’ve programmed by pressing
RTE and your chosen RTE ID#. Make sure you
press and hold the ID# button for one full second.
This ensures the command is issued to every switch
controller on your railroad.
Detail “PRESS AND HOLD”. When you are
pressing the ID button, some of the
switches may not actually throw until
you’ve released the button. Switches
activate at different times once you’ve
selected the route—this keeps your
system (and your railroad’s power
supplies) from overloading due to
simultane­ous activation of multiple
switches.
Clearing routes
Example
Clear Route #1
(erase all switch assignments)
Clearing an existing route requires an abbreviated
version of programming new route. In this case, do
not add any switces to the route. This removes any
switches previously stored as part of this route.
Press RTE
Press 1
Press SET
Route #1 is now ready for new switch
assignments
You cannot remove an individual switch
from a RTE; you must clear the entire
route and start again
If you make an error during
re-programming, do not press SET; start
over—press RTE, the switch number, its
position, and then press SET
16
The TR button
Tracks or Trains?
he “TR” button on your CAB-1L can control two very different things—“TRains,” or remotely
controlled “TRack” power accessories. You can run both from the same CAB-1L, as long as every
one has a unique ID#.
Let’s talk TRACK power for a moment. Lionel offers a variety of accessories which provide remote
control over track power. These enable you to remotely turn on and off power to all or some of your
layout. In addition, some of these accessories allow you to vary the AC voltage applied to the track so
you can run conventional (non-command controlled) locomotives on a command layout. You may
also use variable track voltage to fine-tune performance of your accessories and command-controlled
locomotives.
To operate these track power control devices (for example, a LEGACY PowerMaster), you’d
assign them a unique TR ID#. Then they’d be addressed in the same way you’ve learned to operate
a locomotive: by pressing TR and the ID# of the track power accessory you want to control. Refer to
your track power accessory manual for specific information on setting these IDs and other operating
instructions.
The second use for the “TR” button, as we’ve noted, is to create and operate “Trains,” a
combination of two or more locomotives and/or Command Control-equipped rolling stock, also
referred to as a “lash-up” in the world of Lionel. Once you’ve grouped several things into a train, they
operate together, as a single locomotive.
A couple of important notes. First, older TMCC1 era equipment only supports TR commands 1-9.
This is true for both track power accessories such as the original PowerMaster as well as older TMCC1
locomotives.
Lionel LEGACY locomotives and power accessories such as the LEGACY PowerMaster accept TR
commands addressed from 01-99! So if you’re having trouble getting a piece of equipment to respond
to TR commands, first try assigning it to TR 01-09 and see if that works. If that works, but higher
numbered TR commands (10 and up) are ignored, stick with ID’s 1-9.
A further note about combining locomotives into TRAINs. Older TMCC1 and newer LEGACY
locomotives cannot be combined into a single TRAIN. You can make TRAINs from two or more
LEGACY engines, or two or more TMCC1 engines, but you cannot assign a mix of old and new locos to
the same TRAIN ID#.
For more information on using remote track power accessories, refer to those product’s owner’s
manuals. Continue reading this manual to learn to combine multiple locomotives into a single
TRAIN.

Advanced operating techniques
Building Trains
Example
Build Train #07 with Engines
#13, #15, and #84
All locomotives’ reverse unit control
switches set to FORWARD
Address each engine individually with its
engine ID
Move each engine into position; do not
couple them
“Front” locomotive should be positioned in
the forward direction (headlight in front);
middle and rear locomotives can face in
either direction
We we operating two, three, or even four
locomotives together we call it a “lash-up” in the
world of Lionel. Running multiple locomotives
together is Lionelville’s answer to steep grades,
long trains, and extra-heavy loads.
In the LEGACY system, lash-ups are addressed
as “TRAINS”—the TR button on CAB-lL. When
you build lash-ups with TrainMaster Command,
several engines arc grouped under a single TR
ID#. Train-building should be attempted only after
you've mastered ordinary TrainMaster Command
operations.
In Train #7, assign the lash-ups front engine
(Engne #13) using the F (Front) button:
Press TR
Press 07
Press 13
Press F
Press and release SET
Hear the horn/whistle blow
Assign the lash-up’s middle engine
(Engine #5):
Press TR
Press 07
Press 5
Press and release SET
Hear the horn/whistle blow
(continued on next page)
Pick the locomotives in your lash-up and move
them together (but don’t couple them) using ENG
and each one’s ID#.
Finallly, make certain each locomotive’s
direction switch is on FORWARD/RUN (if
applicable). Perform a locomotive reset (AUX1, 0)
to see what the locomotive’s first-start direction is.
It’s possible to have a “contrary” locomotive that’s
simply following the direction of the reverse unit
control switch.
Note! During train configuration, train
addresses must be entered as two
digits, using a leading zero for train
addresses 01-09 (or 01-99 for LEGACY
locomotives).
Note! If you press a wrong button while
building a lash-up, start over with that
particular locomotive assignment of
the TR command; the assignment isn’t
sent until you press and release SET.

Advanced operating techniques
Building Trains (continued)
Example
Note! IT’S STILL AN ENGINE. Whenever a
locomotive is in a lash-up, you can
still individiually address it (using
its ENG ID#) to adjust lighting, open
individual couplers, trigger sounds and
tune performance.
If any engine in the lash-up
faces backwards, press DIR
before SET
Assign the lash-up’s rear locomotive (Engine
#84 facing backwards) using the R (Rear)
button and DIR button:
Press TR
Press 07
Press 84
Press R
Press DIR
Press and release SET
Hear the horn/whistle blow
Couple the locomotives by addressing them
as ENGINES
Reset the direction of the lash-up:
Press TR
Press 7
Press AUX1
Note! STROBES �STILL FLASH. Diesel
locomotive auxilliary lights (example:
flashing warning lights/strobe lights)
are independent of the lash-up’s
direction-specific illumination.
In other words, if a lash-up rear
locomotive’s headlight is dark, the
strobe still flashes until extinguished
by pressing 8 on the numeric keypad .
Note! LOCOMOTIVE CABS FACE “0UT.”
When operating strobe-equipped
locomotives, make sure you build
your lash-ups with locomotive cabs
facing outward—that is, not facing
each other on lash-up-ending units.
The reason: older strobe-equipped
locomotives may not include
directional headlights. To ensure such
units’ headlights operate in lash-ups,
position the “outside” locomotives so
that their cabs face “out.”

Advanced operating techniques
Front, middle, rear and reverse-direction locomotives
The examples on the previous pages illustrate the general pattern for assigning locomotives to
trains.
The position of each locomotive within the train is defined during the train assignment, via the F
and R keys. F means the unit is placed first, at the head end of the train. R means the unit is placed
last. Absence of a F or R means that the unit is placed in the middle of the train.
The facing of a unit in a train is determined by whether or not the DIR key is pressed in the
sequence ending with the SET key. If DIR isn’t included, then the unit is facing forward. If the DIR
key is included, then the unit is facing backward.
To properly configure the sound of a train, assign the head end locomotive first. The rest of the
locomotives can be assigned to the lash-up in any order. If the head engine is a LEGACY locomotive,
we recommend you set the Quilling horn/whistle option for this TRAIN ID#.
Addressing Trains
Example
Address Train #7
Press TR
Press 7 (the ID#)
Throttle up or press any command
button.
Note: For train operation (as opposed
to assignment) it is optional to use a
leading zero to address trains 1-9)
When first operating a lash-up, press TR and its ID#
on CAB-1. Turn the throttle or press any command
button; your lash-up’s RailSounds sound system
starts up and the engines are ready for operation.
If you’ve shut down a lash-up’s RailSounds
system by pressing the 5 button on the numeric
keypad, you can restart sounds by pressing the 3
button.
Generally speaking, any command that your
head locomotive will respond to when addressed as
an engine (ENG) will work the same when when
when sent to its train (TRN) ID. See the earlier
section on sending basic and numeric commands to
locomotives for more information.

lash-up by reassigning it to
Train #00
Press TR
You can remove any locomotive from a lash-up by
assigning it to “Train #00.”
Remember to remove all locomotives from
a lash-up after you’ve physically separated the
locomotives that made up the Train.
Press 00
Press 84
Press and release SET

This resets the Train; do this whenever
you’ve finished Train building or when you
first begin running a lash-up. Still trouble?
Reassign the troublesome engine to the
lash-up by either using or not using the
DIR button. Do another Train reset and try
again.
Note!
Make sure you aren’t trying
to assign a mix of TMCC1 and
LEGACY locomotives to the same
train. That won’t work!
Example
I’m operating a Train that
includes a number of
locomotives, but the circuit
breaker keeps tripping
It is possible to operate up to 16
powered and unpowered and unpowered
locomotives in a Train, if there is enough
power on the track. If the circuit breaker
keeps tripping, reduce the number of
powered locomotives on the track by
removing them from your Train.
Hint
22
Single-motored locomotives
usually draw less power than
dual-motored locomotives
Advanced operating techniques
Notes on Trains
Detail TRAIN BEHAVIOR. TrainMaster Command lash-ups act like real-life ones. Press HORN;
only the lead unit’s horn blows. The same is true for BELL. The lead locomotive’s
headlight illuminates while the others remain dark. Hit DIR and lighting reverses to that
of the rear unit (equipped locomotives only). Press COUPLER F and the lash-up’s front
coupler will open; COUPLER R opens the lash-up’s back coupler.
Detail PICK THE RIGHT NUMBER. The TR address button talks to remote controllable
transformers TRACKs as well as TRAINs. Choose TRAIN ID#s with numbers different from
your track power devices. lf you have remote controllable transformers assigned to TRACK
IDs 1 , 2, and 3, use TRAIN ID#s from 04 to 99 (remember that TMCC1 locomotives only
support TR addressed up to 9).
Detail
BE TIDY. Always clear a Train once you’ve seperated its locomitves by assigning each
member locomotive to Train #00. This restores engine functions that may have been
changed during train configuration.
23
Advanced operating techniques
Tuning Train performance
Example
TRAIN MOMENTUM
Press L, M, or H (located under the
removable panel) for light, medium, or heavy
lash-up momentum. Your Command Controlequipped locomotives remember this setting
until you change it.
TRAIN STALL.
Set momentum for Train #7
Press TR
Press 7
Press L, M, or H (choose one)
Train #7’s momentum setting has been
changed
Note!
Setting TR momentum erases
preexisting ENG momentum settings
for all locomotives in the lash-up
Note! Not all Lionel Locomotives support
Stall. The following is relevant if your
lash-up includes Lionel Pulmor-type
locomotives.
Get your Train moving slowly. Press SET; the
lash-up stops. Turn the throttle clockwise to get
the lash-up moving, then decrease speed until
the lash-up just stops. Press SET again. Stall has
been set. Even if your lash-up doesn’t move after
turning the throttle, just press SET again. Stall
will be set. The lash-up remembers this setting
until you change it.
If the locomotives in your lash-up are of
different types and do not all start at once (even
after setting train stall), fine-tune the lash-up’s
performance by setting stall individually for
each locomotive in the Train. See the section on
setting locomotive stall voltage.
Detail WHY STALL? In command control,
stall voltage gives locomotives a
common “start threshold.” When
you run a lash-up with stall set, every
locomotive will begin moving in
unison. Turning the throttle down
completely turns each locomotive
down to its own stall setting.

With CAB-1L, total control of
your railroad is in your hands. And
experiencing that control is even easier
when you master CAB-1L ’s “sticky” keys.
In basic terms, “sticky” keys mean
that once you’ve pressed a top-row button
(SW, ACC, RTE, 11. or ENG) and a specific
ID#, CAB-1L will control that engine,
train, or accessory until you tell it to
control another one. For example, press
ENG and an ID#, and CAB-1L remembers
that locomotive. Press the command
buttons you want (HRN/WSTL, BELL,
DIR, BOOST, BRAKE, COUPLER F or R,
or AUX l and AUX2) and CAB-1L “speaks”
to your chosen Command-equipped
locomotive. You don’t need to re-enter the
ID#. You don’t even have to press ENG
again. A locomotive, switch, or accessory
“sticks” with CAB-1L until you choose
another.
Sticky keys also give you the power to

Problem Solving
Answers to questions
Everything is connected, but nothing’s happening.
• Check all power connections to track power transformers and the Command Base. Make sure each
component’s “on” lamp is illuminated (if applicable). Make sure the circuit breakers on your power
transformers are not tripped; reset them as necessary. Verify track voltage with a test light. If all connections
are secure and a lamp does not illuminate, contact your Lionel Customer Service for assistance.
• Verify that your CAB-1L and Base-1L are set to the same channel. Another nearby device may be operating on
the same frequency, try changing BOTH CAB-1L and Base-1L to a new channel and re-test.
The Command Base-1L’s green light is off.
• Make sure the Base’s power supply is properly plugged into a grounded 3-pin outlet. Also check the power
connector to ensure it is snug in the Command Base-1L’s power input. The green light should illuminate.
The Command Base-1L’s red light doesn’t blink when I send CAB-1L commands.
• Try a new location for the Command Base; CAB-1L communications are not being properly received. Press
WSTL/HORN and watch the red light for response (it should blink).
• Avoid metal surfaces when installing the Command Base-1L. Metal detunes the Base’s antenna and causes
poor reception. lf you must use a metal table or shelf, place a nonmetallic spacer at least 2” in height
between the Base-1L and the metal surface.
• Check CAB-lL’s alkaline batteries. Remove one battery; then reinstall it. Make sure batteries are fresh and
properly installed. You should hear a small “chirp” with every button press.
• Tum off any interfering electronic devices in your railroad area: tele­visions, computers, WiFi devices and CB
radios.
I programmed my ENG ID, but the engine won’t move.
• Make sure the red light is blinking on the Command Base-1L when you send CAB-1L commands. This says
your CAB-1L commands are being received by the Command Base-1L.
• Check your wiring connection between the Base and either your power transformer or common rails. The
Base-1L’s communication wire should be attached to the common (U) binding post of your transformer or
the outisde rail.
• Make sure no derailments have occurred.
• Make sure your track has power by using a test light—for example, an illuminated freight or passenger car.
• Check track-power circuit breakers. Reset if necessary·
• Make certain there are no connections between your railroad and either earth ground or power-line ground.
• Reprogram the locomotive’s ID#. Slide the program/run switch to program. Put the locomotive on
unpowered track. Make sure the Command Base is on. Power up your track. Now, press ENG, the locomotive’s
ID#, and SET. The horn or whistle should sound, indicating receipt of the new programming. Slide the
switch back to run. Press ENG and the ID#, WSTL /HIRN or tum the throttle. Your locomotive should
respond.
I turned the throttle, but my locomotive doesn’t respond.
• Check batteries! Press any key to make sure CAB-1L is awake and try again. Check for blinking red light on
Base-1L while turning the throttle. Blinking indicates throttle commands are being sent; problem may be
with loco.
• Readdress the locomotive: press ENG and its ID number. It should now respond to any command button
press or throttle change.
My locomotive is acting kind of strange. How can I reset it?
• Presss AUXI and O on the keypad. This resets your locoomotive.
• Shut down the track power to the locomotive for 10 seconds after Raibounds finishes its shuts down
(assuming you have a battery installed in your loco). This restarts the computer inside your locomotive.

Problem Solving
Answers to questions (continued)
I want to run my conventional locomotives, but they take off at full speed.
• Use a track power transformer or accessory that can provide variable AC power to the track, allowing for the
operation of conventional locomotives, also known as transitional command control.
• Note that you can only operate one conventional train per track power block.
I’m running one conventional locomotive and a few Command-equipped engines at the
same time, but they’re all running slowly.
• When you operate in transitional command control, the track power level selected for the conventional
locomotive (in essence, it’s “speed”) is also the maximum voltage available to all Command-equipped
locomotives addressed and in action. To increase the maximum speed potential of all locomotives in
operation, increase the AC voltage being delivered to the track. The conventional locomotive’s speed will
increase, and all Command-equipped locomotives in action now have a higher maximum operating speed
as well.
My locomotive takes forever when I throttle it up.
• Reset its momentum to LOW. Your locomotive remembers the momentum setting until you change it.
• Make sure enough power is being applied to the track. Hint: test using a small lamp or lighted car.
Why is there no neutral
• You don’t need neutral in command control. A Command-equipped locomotive doesn’t move until it’s been
addressed, so the “neutral” state in the reverse unit isn’t necessary. If you want a locomotive to stay put as if
in neutral, simply stop it and select another locomotive.
I built a consist with two locomotives, but it won’t respond when I press TR and its ID
number.
• Carefully repeat the consist set-up sequence.
• Make sure you selected a TRAIN (TR) ID# that doesn’t identify a track power transformer accessory or
another TRAIN consist on your railroad.
The locomotives in my consist seem to fight each other.
• Do not mix LEGACY and TMCC1 locomotives in the same consist.
• Reset the consist’s direction: press TR, the train’s ID#, AUXI, and 0. This re-programs each member of the
consist to begin operating in their “normal” TRAIN start direction.
• Set ALL reverse unit control switches to FORWARD.
• Reprogram the contrary engine with or without the DIR button command during the consist build
sequence.
I want one of the locomotives in my consist to face “backward.” How can I do that?
• Include the DIR command in your consist programming string. For example, if your F3 #89 is to be the
“rear” engine in the consist facing backward, press TR, the consist ID#, 89, R, DIR, and SET. This tells the F3
that it should operate in “reverse” during “forward” consist operations.
When I operate my consist, the circuit breaker on my track power accessory trips.
• Try reducing the number of motors in the consist.
• Make sure you don’t have two TRAINS with the same ID#.
The locomotives in my consist all seem to start differently, even though I set the stall
voltage for he consist.
• If you’re operating differing locomotives in a consist (for example, a postwar F3, MPC Geep, and LTI RS3),
each locomotive will start at a different voltage threshold. Try fine-tuning the stall voltage for the consist by
setting individual stall voltages for each locomotive. See “Tuning consist performance.”

Answers to questions (continued)
I connected my switches to throw but they’re not working.
• You must program each switch controller accessory with IDs before you can operate the switches.
• Verify the switch in question is receiving power.
I programmed switch numbers for every one, but now I can’t remember which switch is
which!
• Place numbered “flags” or stickers at each switch. This will help you remember switch numbers; later,
you can remove them. A layout diagram with numbered switch locations can also help. Small divisional
diagrams positioned around a large layout’s perimeter can provide another solution.
When I address a switch and press AUX1 to make it go straight, it throws to the curve.
• Reverse the “outer” wires (those connected to the two outside binding post on 022 and Q-72 switches) either
at the switch or at the switch controller.
I incorrectly entered some information when programming a RTE. What should I do?
• Making errors during route programming is no big deal. Just remember that as long as you don’t press SET,
you haven’t programmed anything. Start over at the RTE command for that particular switch; RTE. route
ID#, RTE, route ID#, the switch number, the direction you want the switch to throw (AUXI or AUX2), and
final­ly. SET. Pressing SET commits the command string to memory. If you pressed SET already, read on.
I added a switch to a route that I don’t really want. How can I remove it?
• You must clear the entire route and reprogram it. Press RTE. route ID# and SET. This erases all switch
assignments in the route.
My train derailed and I want to shut down its track—but I don’t want to deactivate the
entire layout.
• Shut down the track power accessory controlling that block of track: press TR, the devices ID#, AUXI, and 0.
To reactivate, press TR, its ID#, and BOOST.
After fixing a derailment (or experiencing an accidental power interrupt), my
locomotive runs fine—but RailSounds isn’t responding to CAB-1 commands.
• After a derailment has been corrected, your Command-equipped Lionel may work normally though
RailSounds does not fully respond to CAB-1L button commands. If your loco has a battery installed for
the Railsounds system, reset Railsounds by removing all power from the track, wait for RailSounds to
completely shut down, then wait 5 more seconds. Power up the track again, address the locomotive, and full
sound performance should be restored.
After fixing a derailment (or experiencing an accidental power interrupts), my diesel
RailSounds is still on—at full RPMs—and won’t shut off.
• Power up your track. RailSounds will return to idle and is ready for operation.
My kid likes running trains, but she runs ‘em too fast. Is there anything I can do?
• Set a maximum voltage output for every track power controller installed on your railroad.
• If you’re using a Lionel ZW or other manually operated hobby transformer, turn down its output.
Bulbs keep burning out all over my railroad. Help!
• Light bulbs powered by constant voltage may burn out quicker than those receiving variable voltage during
conventional operations. Replace them with higher-voltage bulbs.

The language of command control
Accessory
Any operating accessory produced by Lionel, American Flyer, or Marx.
Addressing
To “call” a device using a numeric name, known as an “ID#”
Address buttons
The top row of buttons on CAB-1L that selects various locomotive and layout elements. Addresses include switch
(SW), accessory (ACC), route (RTE), track and train (TR), and engine (ENG).
Block
An electrically isolated section of Lionel track, separated from the normal flow of transformer-supplied voltage by
the presence of plastic insulating pins located in the center rail at either end of the block.
Block control
A form of model railroad locomotive control that uses electrically isolated blocks and manually or automatically
controls the distribution of power.
Coil couplers
Operating locomotive couplers that feature an electromagnetic coil. When energized, the coil opens the coupler
without the aid of a remote uncoupling session.
Command Base-1L
The component that generates digital communications in response to CAB-1L commands and narrow-casts it’s
communication on the common (outside) rails of any Lionel railroad.
Command buttons
The large buttons on CAB-1L that controls locomotive functions. Command buttons include whistle/horn, bell,
direction, boost, brake, coupler front and rear, and AUX1/AUX2.
Command control
A method for controlling model locomotives that involves the simultaneous operation of multiple locomotives;
also includes total layout control (switches, accessories, and more). In TrainMaster Command, command
control involves the use of digital signaling on the track which is picked up by specially equipped locomotives,
enabling the locomotives to perform individually on the same track without complicated wiring schemes.
Command-equipped
A description that means a locomotive is capable of responding to TMCC1 and possibly TMCC2 commands.
Command-equipped locomotives run in both command and conventional operating environments.
Constant (continuous) voltage
A steady application of electricity applied to the track. In command control, constant voltage is usually in the
18-volt range. Only command-equipped locomotives will operate properly in a constant voltage environment.
Conventional operations
The transitional way of running Lionel trains: track power up the locomotive moves; track power down, the
locomotive stops. Generally involves the operation of only one locomotive at a time.
Division
A large, electrically isolated section of model railroad. Usually encompasses a number of electrically isolated
track power control accessories with the same ID#. This ID# is known as the “division number.”
31
Glossary
The language of command control (continued)
Ground
The “common” or return electrical device. Ground is the electrical pathway that must be connected to SC-1 for
proper operation.
Hot
The direct pathway of electricity that first passes through an electrical device. The side of a transformer that is not
connected to track ground.
ID#
The one- or two-digit number that helps identify a locomotive, switch, accessory, etc. to the Command Base or
when issuing command with CAB-1L.
Lash-up
A multiple locomotive set; consist.
Momentum
A locomotive behavior that simulates the performance of a real-life engine laboring under load.
Neutral
The nonmoving operational state in a three-position reverse unit. When operating in the Command
environment, Command-equipped locomotives do not have a “neutral” state like they do in conventional
realms.
Numeric keypad
The 10-digit (0-9) section of the CAB-1L layout that allows you to issue ID#s as well as special locomotive
commands when preceded by a press of AUX1.
Phasing
The act of “matching” power applied to a model railroad. When a railroad features multiple power supplies,
each supply’s output must be “phased” at block boundaries to prevent excess third-rail sparking and digital
communication problems during operation.
Route
A multi-switch pathway around your railroad. Switches thrown in select directions cause a train to proceed
around a layout in a specific way—a route.
Stall
A voltage level that is not enough to energize a locomotive’s motor into movement but is enough to keep
that locomotive’s reverse unit from sequencing to the next operational state. Stall can be used to tune engine
performance and to match lash-up start thresholds among differing locomotive types. Not all Lionel commandequipped locomotives need or support the stall feature.
Switch
A section of railroad track that allows one tract to diverge into two—or combine two tracks into one. Also called
a “turnout.”
Throttle
The Circle-L knob on the CAB-1 that controls locomotive speed and PowerMaster voltage output settings.
Transitional command control
A way of operating TrainMaster Command that retains the digital signaling required for individual locomotive
control but foregoes continuous track voltage in favor of variable track power, as a conventional operations.
Variable power allows for the operation of non-Command-equipped engines.
