NCE, NCE Cab06 Encoder (NCE-CAB06e)The Cab06 uses a more conventional knob for speed control and is available with either a potentiometer (Cab06p) or digital encoder (Cab06e). Both varieties of the Cab06 can be set to YARD mode. Yard mode makes the speed knob act as a "center off" speed control. Turn the knob to the right and the loco will increase speed in the forward direction. Turn it to the left and speed will decrease until it gets to zero then it will start to increase speed in the reverse direction the farther you turn it to the left.Encoder or “E” cab is a RELATIVE speed control. There is NO position indicator nor feedback on the speed position since there are no stop and start points. The speed of the train is kept track by the command station only. Turning the knob up or down simply increase the current speed or decreases the current speed respectively. So if a given train speed is currently zero (Stopped), then turning up the knob will increase the speed above zero. Keep turning the knob and more increase in speed.Likewise if a given train speed is NOT zero, turning the knob up or down simply increases the current speed or decreases the current speed respectively. Keep turning the knob up and more increase in speed. If instead you choose to turn down the knob, then the speed of the train will decrease.The advantage of the “E” cab become very apparent when you switch trains.Example: If you are running train A at half speed, and then select train B which is stopped, train B remain stopped while train A keeps running at is half speed. You can flip back and forth between two or more trains of different speeds and never have to worry about sudden speed changes. If you stopped a train you have selected, set the throttle down and unplug it but accidentally knock the throttle knob while it was unplugged, then plugging in the throttle will NOT result in the train suddenly moving.
