I'm not sure I understand how the momentum on the CAB1 works. Does it work in both conventional and Command?
It seems to effect the speed that I can turn the track voltage up witch leads me to believe it is effective in the conventional mode. I think it also effects the number of steps in the speed.
Since the track voltage is at max in command mode how does it work in command mode.?
I have a ZW-C with 2 135w bricks, CAB1, and Command base running 3 tracks and accessories.
Thanks; Don

Momentum slows down the ramp up and down of speed steps from the CAB1. Since the only way to run conventional from the CAB1 is to use a Powermaster, TPC, or the Lionel ZW Controller, it has the same effect in either mode, conventional or command.
So when I program momentum I am programing it for that track only and it will have the same setting no matter what locomotive I have on that track? Don
For conventional, you are programming the track via the PH, TPC, or ZW-Controller. For command, you are setting it for that locomotive ID.
OK; One annoying thing For me is turning up the track voltage on each track. A and D every power up) It takes multiple turns to get power up. So.. If I set track A and D for low momentum track voltage will come up fast. Then do I use eng # and change momentum to medium to leave the track the same but change it to medium for a particular loco? Don
You can change the momentum anytime, that's correct. I'm not sure the transformer will remember the momentum settings, truthfully I am not currently using my ZW-Controller, I just use the bricks directly into the MTH TIU.
