The idea behind the momentum feature is it simulates the slow acceleration and deceleration of a real locomotive pulling a train.
I use the M setting, and adjust the knob to about 5 or 6.
Another neat feature about momentum is. Once the loco is moving. If you spin the throttle back down to zero brake sounds will come on and the engine will slowly come grinding to a stop.
Since your just getting familiar. The "train brake slider" is actually more of a "train load slider".
Setting the slider lower will limit the speed the loco will go. However, you can turn the throttle past the brake indicator on the screen and the locomotive will labor harder as the throttle is increased.
In the case of steamers. Having the train brake just off the bottom and turning the throttle all the way yields a dramatic chuff. Just like a real steamer fighting a grade.
The cab2 is a great remote. Alot of the features can be discovered simply by " playing around" with it. It's really not as complicated as it may look.
