Locomotive basics
1. Turn o track power, and then plug in the LEGACY
Base and connect it to the track.
2. Place your locomotive and tender on the track and con-
nect the drawbar.
3. Increase track power voltage to full power (no more
than 19 volts AC). If a circuit breaker trips when you turn
on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomo-
tive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to
make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short
circuit.
4. As illustrated in Figure 1, press ENG and 1 (or your
selected ENG ID#) to address the locomotive with your
LEGACY CAB-2 Remote Controller.
5. Press the Start Up button on your LEGACY CAB-2
Remote, shown in Figure 2. en, throttle up and move
'em out! Your engine sound will start up, and the locomotive-
specic touch screen buttons will populate the remote. For
more information on operating your locomotive with the
LEGACY system, please refer to the LEGACY section of this
manual. Additional information is also found in the LEGACY
System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com.

LEGACY Control operations
For the nest operating experience, your locomotive is fully compatible with the LEGACY Control System.
To operate in LEGACY mode, you need a LEGACY Command Base and LEGACY CAB-2 Remote
Controller (6-14295).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-2 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which sends a digital code
through the rails to your locomotive. Your locomotive will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#, so you
can operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time.

TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC) operations
For operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you need a TrainMaster Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Refer to your TMCC
System Manual for complete information. To access all the locomotive's features, you must
operate in the LEGACY environment, as discussed on the previous page.
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which trans-
lates the command into digital code. at code is sent through the outside rails to your locomotive,
which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster Command Control gives you
the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time.
1. Turn o track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the
track.
2. Place your locomotive and tender on the track and connect the drawbar.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). If a circuit breaker
trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to make
sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may
cause a short circuit.
4. Press ENG and 1 (or the ENG ID# you set) to address your locomotive with your
CAB-1 Remote Controller.
5. rottle up and move ‘em out.
For more information, please refer to the TrainMaster Command Control operations section of
this manual or the TMCC System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 volts

Conventional transformer operations
For Conventional operation, a Command Base must not be powered up anywhere in the
area, even if it is not connected to the track. If a base is detected, your locomotive will
default to Command mode.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 volts
AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires curves that have a 36" or larger diameter, measured from center
point between rails to center point between rails.
Set the smoke unit switch to the O position if you will be making multiple
direction changes to prevent overheating the smoke unit. See Figure 4 on page 9
for the location of this switch.
1. With track power o, place your locomotive on the track.
2. Power up the track (8-18 volts AC). Starting voltage will vary based on the locomo-
tive's load. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the
wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure
the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.
3. Move ‘em out! When the locomotive’s headlight illuminates and the LEGACY RailSounds
sound system starts, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your loco-
motive through the repeating pattern of operations: neutral, forward, neutral, reverse, neutral,
and so on. You may also briey turn o track power to advance the locomotive to the next oper-
ating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
When placing your locomotive on your layout for the rst time and aer power interrup-
tions lasting longer than ve seconds, it will start out in neutral.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. For more
information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of this manual.
If the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer appear to be reversed (i.e., trigger
the other sound), simply switch the wire connections at the transformer terminals.

Refer to Figures 3a and 3b on page 8 as you add the smoke uid. If you prefer to operate your
Legacy Steam Locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch on top of the cab and slide it
to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 for the location of the switch.
Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Note!
Your Legacy Steam Locomotive is equipped with two smoke generators that produce safe, clean, white smoke during operation. e smoke generators for this locomotive supply the stack and
whistle smoke eects. e reservoirs contain the uid and wicks which, once saturated, supply the
heating elements with the right amount of uid.
For best performance, we recommend using only Lionel Premium Smoke Fluid.
Locomotive basics
Note!
Stack Smoke
Loading smoke fluid into the smoke stack will provide smoke fluid for the stack smoke
effect. When adding fluid DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause your smoke
unit to become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note that operating your
locomotive's smoke unit without smoke fluid will cause damage to the heating element. Add
20 drops initially and 10 to 20 thereafter, as required to maintain desired smoke.
Whistle Steam
To load smoke fluid for the whistle steam effect, remove the hatch to access the fill port as
shown in Figure 3b. When adding fluid DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause
your smoke unit to become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note that
operating your locomotive's smoke unit without smoke fluid will cause damage to the heating
element. Add 20 drops initially and 10 to 20 thereafter, as required to maintain desired smoke.
Your locomotive's smoke fluid consumption will vary depending on the smoke level
setting you have selected and the labor of the locomotive.

Locomotive basics
Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only)
In the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control your locomotive as one in a prototypical manner. It is still possible to control any of the engines in the lash-up individually.
When you issue a train command, the individual engine you were controlling will return to the group.
If there is a dierence in speed, the individual Engine will return to the speed of the lash-up at the rate
set in the train momentum.
To build a lash-up, assign a unique engine (ENG) ID# to each unit. See page 10 for details.
1. Address the train ID# you wish to create or edit, 1 to
99.
2. Press INFO.
