	The Benefits of Lionel TRAINMASTER COMMAND CONTROL (TMCC) More Features...More Sounds...More Fun!
	The Benefits of Lionel TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC): Traditional model railroad control systems used the power from the transformer to give directions to the train. The Lionel TMCC system directs your trains using separate digital signals. The advantages are:

More Sounds:
The Lionel RailSounds system offers a wider array of sounds when used in conjunction with Lionel TMCC.

More Features and Functions:
A much broader assortment of operating functions and features are available. Locomotives can be operated independently, even on the same track, or in unison as a single lashup.

More Realism:
You can even adjust signal reaction time in order to simulate the momentum of real life train operation.

Improved Lighting and Performance:
Lionel TMCC uses constant track power, so lighting remains constant and older Lionel locomotives run more smoothly at slower speeds.

Ease of Use:
The commands are simple and can be executed quickly. There is no complicated ‘clinking and clanking’ required as with alternative control systems.

Ease of Installation:
One TMCC Command Base will service an entire layout, no matter how many power blocks you have.

Low Cost:
Lionel TMCC provides digital control at a fraction of the cost of alternative designs.

Reliability:
Lionel TMCC broadcasts the digital signal to an electronic receiver. Alternative digital systems pass the signal through the roller-pickup, which is subject to dirt and poor contact.

Freedom of Movement:
Lionel TMCC is the only O gauge control system that offers a walk-around remote control that transmits signals to a single Command Base. See your layout from new angles. Take your controls with you when you have to fix a problem on the far side of the layout – avoid having to walk back and forth. And watch how much more time your kids and grandkids will want to spend in the trainroom with you.
