Address the TMCC ID of your engine and learn to use the Velocity Throttle, Whistle, Bell, Brake
and Direction commands.
LOCATION
For smaller layouts you can locate the Base3 anywhere on, near, or under the layout.
For a large model railroad layout, the best position for your Base3 is as close to the center of your model
railroad as you can get. This gives maximum communication strength to every corner of your layout.
Experiment for the most advantageous position of your Base3.
POWER UP THE TRACK
With your engine on the track and ready to roll, power-up your track to a constant 18VAC. If a circuit
breaker trips when you turn on the LIONEL power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive and any
cars 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.
Cab2 Remote with the Base3
Setting Base3 & Cab2 channel number
When you are operating in a club environment or a display environment with two or more Railroads in
operation in proximity there will be communication problems if both Railroads are using the same
channel on their respective Command Bases. You must change one of the Command Bases to a new
channel and then match the Cab2 remote you wish to use to that channel.
TO LEARN THE CHANNEL OF YOUR BASE3:
Press the “Remote Channel” button on the front of your Base3. Watch the Base3 yellow light
bar blinking.
Observe and note the number of repetitions. That number is the channel of your Base3.
TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL OF YOUR BASE3:
1. Press the “Remote Channel” button on the front of your Base3 again. Each time you press the
button the Base3’s channel will change. The channel can be between 1 and 9.
2. Watch the Base3 yellow light bar blinking
3. Observe and note the number of repetitions. That number is the new channel of your Command
Base
4. Repeat to change the channel of your Command Base again.
Your Cab-2 remote must be set to the same channel as your Base3 to operate with it.
