8.2 Controlling the Locomotive
The control knob for operating locomotives
always controls only the locomotive that has just
been selected with the address selector switch.
All other locomotives or powered rail cars con-
tinue to run at the speed last set for them.
Important: When a new address is selected and
the control knob is already set at a speed position
(any speed position), the locomotive just selected
will immediately run at this speed. You must select
this locomotive address a second time, before you
can control the locomotive.
After you switch to a new address, it takes a
moment before the newly selected locomotive
can actually be controlled. This feature makes
it possible for you to skip over other addresses
when switching to a new address, without the
locomotives assigned to these addresses being
affected by the current setting for the control
knob. Control of the locomotive is assumed with
the last settings in use. The locomotive now
reacts to the controller.
9. Information about Operating the Train

The locomotive to be controlled can be selected
with the switch on the controller (see Sections 7
