Preparing the Gantry Crane for operation
When you are ready to store your Gantry Crane, be sure to use the supplied elastic band to keep
tension on the hook line. Use your remote to position the boom to fit in the foam cavity.
Note Always keep light tension on the hook when handling the Gantry Crane.
Gantry Crane basics
Powering Your Gantry Crane
Your Gantry Crane is powered using track power. The Gantry Crane requires a special
track section for gantry unit motion available from other manufacturers (not included).
This track section has three rails in the middle for regular train operation, and two rails on
the outsides meant for Gantry Crane operation. Track positive connects to one of these rails,
and track negative to the other. The crane is reversible, so which rail is positive and which is
negative does not matter. See Figure 1 below for more information.

Note Your Gantry Crane is factory programmed with an Engine ID# of “1.” To change
the ID#, see page 5.

As your fleet of LEGACY or TMCC equipped locomotives and equipment grows, you will want to
assign each unit a unique ID#. Use your CAB-1, CAB-1L, or CAB-2 Remote Controller.
1. Turn off power to the Gantry Crane.
2. Make sure that the Command Base is plugged in, then power up the crane.
3. Slide the RUN/PROGRAM switch to the PROGRAM position. Refer to Figure 3.
4. Press ENG or ACC.
5. Enter the ID# for the Gantry Crane using the numeric keypad on the Remote Controller.
Select any number between 1 and 98.
6. Press SET.
7. Slide the RUN/PROGRAM switch to the RUN position.
At this point, the new ID# has been set. When you power up, be sure to address the Gantry
Crane using the new ID#.

Figure 3. Switch location
When using the Legacy system the CAB-2 MUST be set to CAB-1 mode.
The crane will not respond to Legacy mode commands.
When using the CAB-1 or CAB-1L, the crane MUST be programmed as an
engine. The crane may be programmed as an accessory or an engine when
using a CAB-2.

Gantry Crane basics
To operate the crane, you will need to use a Command Base and Remote Controller (LEGACY
CAB-2, CAB-1L, or CAB-1; all available separately).
Operating the Gantry Crane
Press ENG and 1 on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or CAB-2 controller to select the Cab motor.
Rotate the THROTTLE knob clockwise on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or
CAB-2 controller to rotate the cab clockwise.
Rotate the THROTTLE knob counter-clockwise on the CAB-1, CAB-
1L, or CAB-2 controller to rotate the cab counter-clockwise.

Press 2 on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or CAB-2 controller to select the Roll motor.
Rotate the THROTTLE knob clockwise on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or

The speed that the crane rolls on the track is determined by how fast
the THROTTLE knob is rotated.
Pressing the DIR key on the CAB-1 or CAB-1L, or pressing down on
the BOOST/BRAKE button on the CAB-2 controller will reverse the
operation of the THROTTLE knob so that clockwise will move the
crane backwards and counter-clockwise will move the crane forward.
This allows the user to set it up so the control is intuitive based on
which side of the crane they are on. Setting is not retained when
power is turned off.
