3.3 Throttle and Brake
The throttle is used to control the speed of each engine. The zero position of the throttle
is located in the middle. When the slider of the throttle is in the rightmost position, the
train runs forward with maximum speed. Conversely the maximum backward speed is
achieved by pulling the slider to the leftmost position.
It is also possible to set the zero position of the throttle to the leftmost position of the
throttle control. In this mode the maximum forward or backward speed is achieved by
pulling the slider to the rightmost position. The direction of the engine is controlled by
the separate direction selector.
The above sections describe the train oriented mode of the throttle control. In this
mode the throttle causes the train always to move forward, when the direction control is
pointing to the right, and to move backward, when the direction control is pointing to
the left. In the layout oriented mode the throttle causes the operated train to move to
the left on the layout, when the direction control is pointing to the left, and to move to
