Example
We recommend that you choose an easy to
remember ID# for your engine. Some possi-
bilities are part of the engine road number,
your age, or any two digit number that is not
used by another engine. Write the number on
a small piece of tape and put this on the
bottom of the fuel tank to aid in
remembering.
A
s your fleet of Command-equipped
Lionel locomotives grows, you’ll want
to give your locomotive a more
individualized number. Choose from any
between 1 and 99. To make things easy, use
a portion of your locomotive’s cab number.
Set the A-unit’s Command reverse unit
switch to PGM (see Figure 2 below). Plug in
the Command Base and place the
locomotive on track, then power up. Using

press the SET button located under your
CAB-1 Remote Controller’s removable
panel. Set the Command reverse unit switch

with its all-new ID#.
