Congratulations on your purchase of the Lionel FasTrack Command Control Remote
Switch! Look Mom no wires! This switch operates and is programmable by your CAB
remote. You may choose to remove the installed manual controllers and forgo that wiring all
together. The switch connects easily to other FasTrack track sections. Use the switch to join
two track loops, create a switching yard, or add a siding. Run your trains around your layout
with the freedom only these Lionel Command Control Switches will give you!

Joining the FasTrack track sections
FasTrack track sections join together
easily. With interlocking roadbed sections
and large rail tabs, the track fits together
securely so you always get good electrical
contact. Refer to Figure 1 to see how to join
the track sections.
1. Line up your two sections of track.
2. Insert the rail tabs into the openings at
the ends of the corresponding rails.
3. Press the sections together until the
interlocking roadbed snaps into place.
Figure 1. Joining the track sections
Rail tab
Using the track extensions
Track extensions are included with your switch. Some of the extensions have beveled
roadbed on one side, and the other has no roadbed. The extensions work with the geometry
of the FasTrack roadbed.
To join the switch with a regular section of track, you will need to use an extension with
beveled roadbed. To join the track with another switch (larger than O36), a wye, or a 22.5
degree crossover, you will need to use an extension without roadbed. Refer to Figure 2.
Figure 2. Track extensions
Using two extensions
with roadbed, the
track are spaced
further apart. You
may choose to add
additional straight
sections between
the extensions.
Note!
Using one extension
without roadbed, two
mainlines are joined
by two switches.
The tracks keep 6”
centers.

Operating the switch in conventional mode
You may operate the switch using the controller or the illuminated switch lamp on the
roadbed. Refer to Figure 3.
To operate the switch using the controller, power up the track, then pull the lever to
the opposite position. Gently press the lever past the end of its path. The lights inside the
controller will change colors to designate the change in switch positions. The red lights
designate the curved path. The green lights designate the straight path.
Track power must be on to operate the switch using the controller.
To operate the switch using the switch lamp, simply rotate the switch lamp. The new
position of the colored lenses on the lamp designate the change in switch positions.
This switch is equipped with a non-derailing feature. The train’s wheels
automatically throw the blades to the proper position when the train travels toward
the converging track. If you experience difficulties, simply use the controller or
switch lamp to throw the switch into the correct position for the train to travel.

Changing the switch stand location
You may choose to position the switch stand either inside or outside the loop of track.
Follow these steps and refer to Figure 4 to change the location of the switch stand.
1. Remove the two screws that secure the small roadbed section to the switch and lift away the
roadbed section.
2. Place the “blades,” or moving rails, in the proper position to make removing the switch
stand roadbed section easier.
• If the switch stand is being removed from the curved side, the blades should be set to
the through/straight position.
• If the switch stand is being removed from the straight side, the blades should be set to
the out/curve position.
3. Remove the two screws that secure the switch stand roadbed section to the switch. Please
note that these screws are located towards the inside edge of the switch stand roadbed
section. Lift away the switch stand roadbed section.
4. Install the switch stand roadbed section at its new location. The posts on the switch should
be inserted into the holes on the switch stand roadbed section. The pin on the switch stand
mechanism should be inserted into the slot on the switch control arm. Insert the two
screws to secure the switch stand.
5. Install the small roadbed section, securing it in place with the two screws.

in action, set PowerMasters to CMD
or set all power supplies on full (no
more than 19 volts). Press SW and
“1” on your CAB. Press AUX1, AUX2;
your switch is ready for Command
operations.

Programming your switches
Command Control operations continued
We recommend that any Command switches to be placed on your layout in a hard to
reach location be programmed with a new ID# before installation.
Note!
Programming:
1. Make sure that the command base is on and properly installed.
2. Power up the track.
3. Press and hold the program button for 1 to 2 seconds. The lantern will start to blink.
4. On your CAB remote, press SW, (the new switch ID# number) followed by the SET
button. The switch accepts numbers 1 through 99.
5. The lantern will cease to blink and will be on steady.
6. Verify the switch took the new number by pressing SW, (the new ID# number) and
alternating the AUX1 and AUX2 buttons to see the switch activate.

Programming your switches
Train route information
Command Control operations continued
In an environment where more than one Command switch is intalled, be sure that
you program each switch with it’s own switch ID # initially so other switches are not
addressed when doing a “soft set”.
Note!
Soft Set Programming
The TMCC switch incorperates “Soft Set Technology” which allows the operator to change the
ID# (1-99) without physically activating the program button. This is great for switches that
are not easily accessable.
1. Activate the desired switch by pressing SW, (the new switch ID# number) then
alternate the AUX1 and AUX2 buttons to verify the command system is communicating with
the switch.
2. On the Cab remote, press the SET button five times slowly. After the fifth press, the lantern
will start to blink.
3. Press the SW, (the new switch ID# number) SET.
4. The lantern will flicker when the SET button is pressed and then will continue to blink for
approx. 5 seconds.
5. When the lantern stops blinking, press SW, (the new switch ID# number) and
alternate AUX1 and AUX2 to verify that it is reprogrammed to the new number.
In TMCC1 operation, Routes 1 to 9 are supported and are stored in the switch. Routes 1-9
are assigned by the Cab-1 controller. Each switch saves the route number assigned, and the
“through” or “out” selection. After a route is selected and activated, the switch is fired with
a randomized time. The reason for this is when a route is activated, all of the switches
operating together would add undesired load on the track power transformer. Allow up to 2
seconds for all switches to throw when part of a route and the route is selected and activated.
Please refer to page 13 in your TMCC1 owners manual for instruction on creating routes
In TMCC2 operation, Routes 1-99 are supported and are stored in the Legacy command
base. No route assignment is stored in the switch, please refer to the route builder in the
Legacy manual page 69 for how to create a route.

Routing the controller cable
The controller cable has been routed through the notch on the curved side of the roadbed at
the factory. You may choose to route the controller cable through the notch on the straight
side of the roadbed. As illustrated in Figure 7, remove the notch section from the straight side
of the roadbed and bend the metal tabs to free the controller cable. Reroute the cable through
the notch on the straight side of the roadbed. With the controller cable in place, bend down
the metal tabs to hold the controller cable in the channel. Snap the notch section of roadbed
provided separately with your switch to the curved side of the roadbed to hide the notch.
Save the notch section from the straight side of the roadbed for future use.

Mounting the controllers
If you have multiple switches and controllers, you may choose to snap the interlocking
controller bases together and mount them to your control panel using screws. To join the
controller bases, snap the bases together on a flat surface as illustrated in Figure 8. Drive
screws through the holes in the controller bases to secure the controllers to your layout. We
recommend using No. 4 sheet metal screws.

Numbering your switch controllers
You may choose to number your switch controllers to help you identify the switches on
your layout. Six numbered lenses are included with your switch.
To number a switch, slide the logo lens out from under the left side of the frame, then
insert the numbered lens. Refer to Figure 9.
