Tuning your locomotive’s performance

Command-equipped locomotives

SET LMH

SETTING MOMENTUM

The LEGACY system’s momentum feature simulates the

labored performance of a real life locomotive pulling a heavy

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 Pulmor-

powered 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.

STALL EXPLAINED. Set a command-equipped locomo tive'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.

Not all engines support Stall.
