Legacy Cab2 control education help.

L, M, and H.  Momentum.

On L the engine will respond instantly, on M it will ramp up and or down top the set speed at a decent pace.  On H it will take a long time to reach the set speed.

If you push and hold M while turning the red know you can vary to your liking between 1 (L) and 8 (H).  I usually run at 7 for a more realistic performance.

1. Check your momentum switches at bottom of Cab2 to make sure you are not in High Momentum

or

2. Check train brake......make sure it is all the way up

or

3. Check efx to make sure your graph is not topped off or all the way up.

 or

4. You have not inadvertently set the speed limit button.

hope this helps

Looks like Marty beat me to it!

Marty,

   Thank you sir, I take it you are talking about the control buttons at the bottom of the Cab2 remote?  If I push the L button the engine will then run in immediate response to the control wheel correct.

Yep

BFI66,

   Thank you sir for the further indepth education I appreciate it, could not figure out how I changed the operation of my engine, I must have bumped the buttons in some manner.

Marty,

   How did I miss this, don't remember reading it any where, man I thought the Cab2 had started to malfunction, instead operator malfunction is much better!  I can tune the guy up with a swift slap you understand.

Thanks again for all the help.

Marty,

   Thanks you sir everything is now back under the engineers control and I appreciate the knowledge very much!   Marty have you heard anything more on the President Reagan Box Car?

PCRR/Dave

Yeah  I still have it here.  I had a dog emergency over the holidays (it was something he ate and required surgery) and never got it out.  I'll get it to you shortly.

Marty,

   Thanks much I am really looking forward to having it on my Christmas layout.

Is your dog going to be alright?  If you need some help, I train gun dogs you know.

Hope your dog is OK.

PCRR/Dave

He's doing fine.  He gets his stitches out in about a week.  Didn't eat for 3 weeks before Christmas.  I was pretty worried but he's almost back to normal after surgery last Saturday.

Marty,

   Glad to hear he is alright, watch him closely for the next few weeks.
