TRAIN MOMENTUM
Press L, M, or H (located under the
removable panel) for light, medium, or heavy
lash-up momentum. Your Command Control-
equipped locomotives remember this setting
until you change it.
TRAIN STALL.
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.
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.
