Running trains at the same time

What’s more fun than playing with your LEGO® Power Functions train? Running multiple trains at the same time! You can run up to eight trains at a time: two per remote control channel.

The Power Functions remotes and receivers have 4 channels that can be selected using the orange switches. The selected channel must be the same on both remote and receiver to make them work together. You can use all 4 channels at the same time if you have enough remotes and receivers set on different channels.

Another way of using the channels is to control more functions with one IR Remote Control. You can have multiple receivers in one model set to different channels and then use the channel selector on the remote to select which functions are being controlled.
