Cab3 Engine Roster

As you add more of your locomotives to your Base3 and Cab3 APP, you’ll want to be able to easily select the engine you want to control, see the listing of all locomotives, and quickly be able to configure their setup.

This can all be done using the Cab3’s engine roster.

When connected to a Base3, there are two ways to enter the engine roster.

The first is from the main engine control screen. Tap on the box where the TMCC ID is, circled in yellow below.

The other method is to swipe up from the main screen to the engine configuration menu, and then tap “Locomotive Roster.” Circled in yellow below.

 

The Roster will display all locomotives (and other command-control products) that have been assigned a TMCC ID or 4-Digit address. The Roster is stored in the Base3 with the exception of the locomotive’s image. That is stored on your smart device via the Cab3 APP.

Once in the Locomotive Roster, you can sort the list by TMCC ID number or alphabetically by the locomotive’s name. Just tap either TMCC ID or A-Z at the top.

Functions of the Roster are as follows:

  • Tap on a locomotive to take control of it. The APP will return to the main screen ready to run that locomotive
  • Tap and hold on a locomotive to go to that locomotive’s engine configuration menu
  • If changes have been made to the Base3’s database by another device, tap the “refresh” button at the bottom right to update the Locomotive Roster

 

The Roster will show a programmed engine’s image, type (such as diesel or steam), name, road number, and TMCC ID number.

If a image of a programmed engine is not available from Lionel’s online Bluetooth engine database, or if you haven’t taken a photo of the engine to use, then a default image will be displayed.
