desired locomotive. Since the stack only remembers eight locomotives, when
you access the 9th engine the first engine in the stack will drop out. For exam-
ple, in a stack of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, if you access another locomotive (ie., loco-
motive 9), the stack will forget locomotive 1 and remember 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
When acquiring a locomotive that is currently running:
1. Scroll with the + or - keys to the desired locomotive address or recall from
the stack as described on page 8.
2. Press and hold the direction button, forward or reverse , which
corresponds to the direction the locomotive is moving.
3. Set the dial to approximately the same speed the engine is moving.
4. Release the direction button to take control of the locomotive.
