GET READY TO RUN

G
et your engine running now by following the instructions in this guide. We'll power up
the track, "address the engine" so it can be controlled by your CAB-2 remote, and learn
to use the Velocity Throttle, Horn, Bell, Brake and Direction commands.
Power Up The Track
If using a PowerMaster, TPC or ZW, refer to the proper manual for the correct method
to power up. With your locomotive on the track and ready to roll, power up your track to a
constant 18 volts. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check
the wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to
make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.
Address Your Engine
First, you must address the engine. This "tells" your CAB-2 which locomotive you want
to control. This is important when you have more than one engine on your layout.
To address an engine:
1. Press ENG
2. Press 1
See reference numbers 1, 2, and 3

Start 'Er Up

Now it is time to start up your engine's sound system.
3. Press Startup
Your engine sound system will start up and the Touch-screen Control Panel will appear.
Startup dialog. Pressing and holding the startup key while the engine is off triggers a
conversation between the dispatcher and locomotive crew, prior to the prime mover sounds
coming on. Tapping the same button while the engine is shutdown starts the prime mover
sounds without dialog.
