IMPORTANT NOTE
Each individual engine, freight car, and Command equipment comes with its own
detailed instructions. Please refer to the individual instruction sheets for specific product
information and for setting up your Command layout.
PowerHouse Notice
Although the PowerHouse Lockon supplied with your set will limit your output to 135 watts, we have supplied you
with a 180 Watt PowerHouse. We believe
you should have the future option of
upgrading your system without the
need to purchase additional power.
