TRANSFORMER OPERATIONS
Running your Atlas O loco with a Lionel/ Lionel-compatible transformer
1. Place your locomotive on Atlas O or compatible O gauge track.
2. Power up your loco with your transformer.
• Your loco is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating current. Virtually all Lionel and
Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are suitable.
• Do not power your 3-rail loco with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive electronic
components may occur.
• When operating with a conventional transformer, the state in which your locomotive
starts up (neutral or forward) depends on the method by which the locomotive was
operated (conventional transformer or the TrainMaster Command system) the last
time that the locomotive was used.
When you operate your locomotive for the first time after taking it out of the box or if the locomotive
was last operated using the TrainMaster Command system, the locomotive will start up in neutral with
its headlights illuminated. When track power is briefly removed and then reapplied, the locomotive will
move forward.
If the locomotive was last operated using a conventional transformer and has been powered down for
at least five seconds, the locomotive will start up in forward at a speed dependent on the applied track
voltage.
3. Move ‘em out!
• Get your loco moving. Press the DIR button on your AC transformer. This will sequence the Lionel
reverse unit to the next operating state.
• Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To increase speed,
increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the locomotive, cut track power.
• See page 5 for information on locking your loco in a single operating state.

5
Using your locomotive Electrocoupler in the non-Command environment
To use your loco’s Electrocoupler in the non-Command environment, you must first
couple a piece of rolling stock equipped with
traditional magnetic couplers directly to your
loco’s electrocouplers. The magnetic coupler on
the rolling stock will then react to the magnetic
field generated by a remote-control track sec-
tion (available separately). Place your rolling
stock’s coupler “trigger disc” over the central
coil of a remote-control track section and press
uncouple on the controller. The magnetic field
pulls the disc downward, and the coupler opens.
Your loco’s electrocouplers will
NOT open manually or by using a
remote-control track section
Magnetic coupler on the rolling stock coupled to
the rear of your loco
Note!
Remote-control
track section
To select a single operational state for your Atlas O loco (example: forward only), you can
deactivate the R4LC’s sequencing function with
the reverse unit control switch.
Get your locomotive moving in the desired direc-
tion, then slow it down without stopping. Set the
reverse unit control switch to PROGRAM. The loco
is now “locked” into your chosen direction. When
you no longer want single-direction operation,
just slide the reverse unit control switch back to
RUN.

Installing the Lionel no. 610-5906-001 sound activation button
To operate the bell and horn sounds when oper- ating your loco with conventional transformers
that do not have a horn or bell button, you’ll need
to install the Lionel no. 610-5906-001 sound acti-
vation button (available separately from Lionel).
Connect the button(s) as shown below.
The no. 610-5906-001 sound activation button (available separately) works with any Lionel
AC transformer except no. 6-4690 Type MW. Transformers made by other manufacturers
may not be compatible with Railsounds.

Lubricating your Locomotive
Help your Atlas O loco lead a long and produc- tive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly.
Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-
lubricate (a small amount will do), and avoid
getting grease or oil on the loco’s wheels or your
track. You’ll know your loco requires lubrication
when visual inspection reveals dryness on the
parts indicated in the illustration. Remove ac-
cumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and
always lubricate any locomotive emerging from
prolonged storage.

Transformer (non-command) operations
Installing the RailSounds battery in your locomotive
This Atlas O Locomotive is equipped with Lionel
RailSounds®. Your loco features digital samples
from real-life diesel locomotives for the ultimate
in realism.
You may choose to install a 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery (included) in your loco. The battery ensures
interruption-free operation of RailSounds when
the locomotive is operated with a conventional
transformer.
However, if the locomotive is to be oper-
ated only with the TrainMaster® Com-
mand system, installing abattery is neither
necessary nor recommended.
The battery is located at the rear of the locomo-
tive. Remove the body by loosening the body
mounting screws. Refer to diagram on page 9.
NOTE! Please remove protective cover from battery clip.
NOTE! Although RailSounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for uninterrupted
operation and shutdown sequences when the locomotive is operated in non-command mode
with a conventional transformer. Use only Alkaline batteries.
NOTE! If RailSounds “drops out” during track power interrupts (direction change), replace the bat-
tery.

Your locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe and clean white smoke during
operation.
Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
NOTE! The locomotive is shipped with the smoke unit turned off and with very little
smoke fluid in the smoke generator.
There is a smoke unit control switch that is marked
SMK/NO SMK, as shown in the diagram on page
10. If you prefer to have a smoke-free locomotive,
leave the switch set at its NO SMK position.
If you wish to use the smoke unit, before filling
the smoke generator, move the smoke unit control
switch from the NO/SMK to the SMK postion. To fill
the smoke generator, first remove the hatch from
the top of the long hood. Then add 15 to 20 drops
of Lionel or Lionel compatible smoke fluid to the
loco’s smoke fluid funnel. Refer to diagram below.
If no smoke comes out of the exhaust stackafter
you have filled the smoke unit and run the loco
for 20 or more seconds, there is probably a vapor
lock in the smoke generator. To clear this vapor
lock, simply blow gently down the exhaust funnel.
To protect the smoke generator from overheating,
the smoke unit will automatically turn itself off
when the smoke fluid is empty. To refill an empty
smoke generator, add another 15 to 20 drops of
smoke fluid to the loco’s funnel.
When using command control, you can increase
the speed at which the smoke generator heats up
by using the CAB-1 remote. First press AUX1 and
then press and hold the 9 key to speed heating of
the smoke generator. Do not hold down the 9
key for more than 15 seconds.

With Railsounds, you experience the sounds of real railroading like never before.
Simply put, it’s the most sophisticated, authentic
model railroad sound system in the world.
• Four diesel-roar levels. Your loco’s speed
determines the level of diesel RPM roar—au-
tomatically, if you prefer: idle, half throttle,
three quarters or full-speed output.
• MultiHorn™. A different horn sound
at different speeds—a Railsounds
exclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your trans-
former to begin the effect, again to discontinue.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down
your track, wait for 3-5 seconds, and listen for
the air-release sound—that’s the loco telling
you its Lionel Command reverse unit has just
reset to forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model rail-
road sound system shuts down like Railsounds.
Turn off track power, and after the air-release
reset sound, you have two seconds to restart
your loco. If you’re done with operations,
Railsounds will commence with a realistic
diesel shutdown sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs.
• For even more authentic Railsounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster Command
environment.
Experiencing the range of your locomotive’s Railsounds system
Notes on Railsounds
• Turn the volume knob clockwise or counter
clockwise in the location shown on page 6 to
adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during
Railsounds operation. They’re automatic
and, of course, authentic.
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed
ensures continuous loco diesel roar in conven-
tional operation.
• Longer track-power interruptions (including
locomotive derailments) cause Railsounds to
shut down after about 7 seconds.
Transformer (Non-Command Operations)

11
Lionel TrainMaster Command Operations
The Command control environment
Lionel TrainMaster Command is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. Your
Atlas O loco is equipped with a Liontech Command
reverse unit.
TrainMaster Command gives you the power to
operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives
on the same track, at the same time.
To operate in Command, you need a Legacy
system and Cab-2 or a legacy light system
and Cab-1 L. Find them both at your authorized
Lionel retailer.
1. Place your locomotive on Atlas O or compatible O gauge track.
• Make sure track power is OFF before placing on the track.
• Make sure your Lionel Legacy Base is ON and its communications wire is connected to
the COMMON post on your AC transformer or the U on any of your installed PowerMasters.
• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to 18V (on PowerMaster, slide the
CMD/CONV switch to CMD).
2. Address your locomotive using remote.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your remote. This command is sent by remote
to the Base, which then translates your command into digital code. That code is sent around
your railroad’s outside rails in the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-equipped locos listen
to this digital communication, but they do not respond until they hear their individual ID
number—in this case, “1.”
• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—controls
the actions of Command-equipped locos. Track power is simply like gasoline in the tank
of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how
fast to get there.
• All Command equipped locomotives come factory-programmed with an ID# of
“1.” To change the ID# of your loco, see page 13.
3. Move ‘em out!
• Throttle up or press any command button on the remote. Your loco will respond to your every
command. Read on.

Speed Step Selection
The default speed step selection is 100 as shipped. The 100 speed steps start at a lower
threshold, thus the motor is operating at a lower
initial voltage with fine adjustment as the throttle
is advanced. The momentum and stall features
are not applicable, and do not operate.
100 speed steps should be used for best perfor-
mance. 32 speed steps should be used when
double-heading this locomotive with any older
production Atlas locomotives (EOB-equipped).
Note that the cruise feature must be disabled in
ALL units when doing so.
To switch Speed Steps do the following:
Activate 32 Speed Steps:
AUX1 + 0 + AUX1 + 0 + BRAKE
Activate 100 Speed Steps:
AUX1 + 0 + AUX1 + 0 + BOOST
Note: The speed step selection is stored until
changed, and survives power cycling.
Cruise On/Off Selection
The Cruise function may be disabled with the on/off switch or when operating in TMCC via
keypresses on the remote. This setting is stored
and affects command and conventional mode
operation.
When operating without TMCC, simply set the speed
control switch to the OFF position for the same ef-
fect.
When double-heading with a locomotive that does
not have Cruise Commander or one that uses a dif-
ferent cruise technology (i.e. EOB), set the speed
control switch to the off position. Note that the
other locomotive(s) will also need to have their
cruise technology disabled for proper performance.
To turn the Cruise OFF or ON using TMCC, do the
following:
Cruise Off:
AUX1 + 0 + AUX1 + BRAKE + 7 +
BRAKE
Cruise ON:
AUX1 + 0 + AUX1 + BRAKE + 9 +
BRAKE
Note: The cruise off/on selection is stored until
changed, and survives power cycling.
Sound Quality
To achieve your preferred RailSounds master volume level, we recommend you adjust your
loco’s volume screw (see page 9 for location). Turn
the screw left or right to reach the desired volume
level.
For quick remote-control of volume below the mas-
ter setting—for example, muting—use the re-
mote numeric keypad’s volume control. Press AUX1
and then 4 on the numeric keypad to lower overall
RailSounds output.

15
“Nudge Mode” Operation
The Cruise Commander has a bit of “play” to allow locos to operate in a lash-up. At times
the “play” is not optimal, so it is possible to match
locos a bit closer with the “nudge” mode feature.
Remember to lash-up only very similar locos and
that it is a requirement that the gear ratios match.
Simply try the locos together in a lash-up at slow
speeds. If they buck each other, use the Cruise
Commander “nudge” mode to try to match the
locos a bit closer. Nudge mode basically increases
the slower loco to match the locos a bit closer.
Although similar to a “stall” setting, the nudge
mode is a bit more complex as it calculates the
speed profile dynamically to hold the locos in sync
throughout the throttle range.
First create a “train” with the Cab-1. Once the lo-
cos are operating in Train mode do the following:
• Test run the locos (not coupled) to find the
slower loco.
• Place the slower loco behind the faster one.
• Get them moving as a train, around 10 speed
steps on the throttle.
• Select the slower loco ENG ID.
• Press AUX2 4 times, with a 1 second pause
between each press.
• The lights should blink off twice, confirming
the loco to be “nudged.”
• Use the BOOST and BRAKE keys to adjust the
slower loco to match the faster one.
• Press “HORN” to lock the setting in the slower
loco.
• AUX1 will cancel the setting.
• Couple the locos together and run as Train
To summarize:
Select: Slower Engine ID
Activate: AUX2 + AUX2 + AUX2 + AUX2
Nudge: BOOST to speed up, BRAKE to slow
down
Save: Horn
To clear the nudge settings, select the speed step
(32 or 100) on the “nudged” loco.
NOTE: the “nudge” selection is stored until
changed, and survives power cycling.
Lionel Legacy Users
Your Legacy CAB-2 system supports REL 100 mode and this should work well with the
default 100 speed step setting in this locomotive.
Please refer to your Lionel Legacy Control System
manual under the heading “Controlling Your
Layout” for more information on accessing the REL
100 mode. Note that the most up-to-date version
of this manual is available for download from
www.lionel.com

16
Tuning your locomotive’s performance
MOMENTUM
TrainMaster Command’s momentum feature
simulates the labored performance of a locomo-
tive pulling a heavy load. Press L, M, or H (lo-
cated under CAB-1’s removable panel) for light,
medium, or heavy momentum. The locomotive’s
R4LC remembers this setting until you change it.
For quick locomotive response, choose L.
BRAKING AND BOOSTING
There’s more to starting and stopping than just
turning the CAB-1 throttle. Use the BOOST and
BRAKE command buttons—they give you
incremental control of speed and are the superior
way to handle grades, gradual stops-and-starts,
and more. Plus, using BRAKE in the Command
environment gives you a bonus Railsounds ef-
fect—the ultra realistic sound of squealing
brakes.
SOUND QUALITY
To achieve your preferred Railsounds master
volume level, we recommend you adjust your
loco volume control set screw (see page 6 for
location). Turn the set screw left or right to reach
the desired volume level.
For quick remote-control of volume below the
master setting—for example, muting—use the
remote numeric keypad’s volume control. Press
AUX1 and then 4 on the numeric keypad to lower
overall Railsounds output.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press SET, headlight will flash. Get your locomo-
tive moving to the maximum speed you want it to
run, press BOOST. Use this to keep your locomo-
tive from excess-speed derailing. Turn off the
high voltage setting by pressing SET, then BOOST,
holding each for one second.
STALL
Make your loco feel more responsive by setting
a “stall” voltage. Get your locomotive moving,
then press SET; the locomotive will stop. Turn the
throttle clockwise to get the locomotive moving,
then decrease speed until the locomotive just
stops. Then press SET again; the R2LC remembers
the stall setting until you change it. To clear stall,
press SET twice, holding it for one second each
time.
These settings will be lost when you assign a new engine ID number.
Note!

17
Reprogramming R4LC circuit boards to restore features
STEP 1: Move switch on locomotive from run to
program.
STEP 2: Turn on Command Base.
STEP 3: Place locomotive on track, then turn on
power to track.
STEP 4: Press “ENG” then input locomotive’s
ID#. Press “SET”
STEP 5: Press “ENG”, then the ID#, “AUX1”, then
press 8 for your locomotive.
STEP 6: Turn off power to track, wait ten
seconds.
STEP 7: Remove locomotive from track, move
switch from program to run.
STEP 8: Place locomotive back on track, turn
power on to track.
STEP 9: Press “ENG” and ID#, then operate as
normal.
Due to the inevitable derailments, static, and the negative nature of electricity, it is pos-
sible that your R2LC could someday lose its setup
program. The symptoms of this condition would
be unresponsiveness in command mode. This can
be easily remedied by “reprogramming” your
R4LC using the following steps.
Assign a new ID# to your
Command-equipped loco
Command Base ON
Place the loco on track
PowerMasters set to CMD or
traditional power supplies ON 18V
Set the locomotive reverse unit control
switch to PROGRAM
Turn track power on (PowerMasters):
Press BOOST
Program the loco with a new ID#:
Press ENG
Press a number you
choose (the ID#)
Press SET
Set the reverse unit control switch
to FORWARD/RUN
Your loco set remembers its ID#
forever; change it any time with
these steps
Example
We recommend that you choose an easy to remember
ID# for your engine. Some possibilities are part of the
engine road number, your age, any two digit number
that is not used by another engine. Write the number
on a small piece of tape and put this on the bottom of
the fuel tank to aid in remembering.
A
s your fleet of Command-equipped locomo-
tives grows, you’ll want to give your loco a
more individualized number. Choose from any
between 1 and 99. To make things easy, use a
portion of your loco’s cab number.
Turn the Command Base ON and place the locomo-
tive on track. Power up, then set the loco’s reverse
unit control switch to PGM (see the illustration
on page 6). Using your remote, press ENG, the
locomotive ID# (you select: ?), then press the SET
button located under CAB-1’s removable panel.
Hear the horn blow (or see the headlight flash if
Railsounds is off); that’s the R2LC confirming the
new ID#. Set the reverse unit control switch to RUN.
Your loco is ready for operations with its all-new
ID#.
