Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer
Place your locomotive on Lionel or
Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track.
• With track power OFF, connect the drawbar between locomotive and tender.
That’s all you have to do with Lionel’s Wireless Tether®, an infrared communica-
tion system that eliminates the plugs and wires of the past.
NOTE: Your locomotive is designed to operate on minimum 0-72 diameter track.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.
•Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating
current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current trans-
formers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad
control system.
•Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
•When you first power up your track, the locomotive will wait
between three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from
the TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that
it’s on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive headlight will illu-
minate and RailSounds will start up. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral.
(This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the first time.
Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power interrupt.)
Note!
Move ‘em out!
•Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or
Lionel transformer. This sequences the R2IR to the next operating state.
•Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Transformer operations
To select a single operational state for
your Lionel locomotive (example: for-
ward only), you can deactivate the R2IR’s
sequencing function with the Program/Run
switch, located on the right hand side, under
the boiler casting.
Get your locomotive moving in the desired
direction, then slow it down without stop-
ping. Set the Program/Run switch to PROG.
The locomotive is now “locked” into your
chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction
operation, just slide the Program/Run switch
back to RUN.

Your locomotive’s Odyssey™ System speed control
You can lock your locomotive into speed control mode (ideal for low speed opera-
tion) so it will automatically compensate for
grades, or to simply maintain a specific
speed setting. To turn on the speed
control, get your locomotive moving at the
desired speed, in forward or reverse. Let it
run at the desired speed for at least 5 sec-
onds. Press and hold the horn/whistle button
for 2-3 seconds as you increase the throttle
by at least 3 volts. Your locomotive will accel-
erate briefly, then will return to your set
speed once you release the horn/whistle but-
ton. As long as the throttle position is main-
tained at a higher setting than the initial
level, your engine will maintain a constant
speed. If the throttle is turned below the orig-
inal level, your locomotive will slow down
due to the available voltage decrease below
the “set” level. To check if the speed control
setting has been “accepted,” turn up the
throttle. You will see the lights brighten, but
the speed will remain constant. For best
results, adjust the track voltage about 3-4
volts above the “set” point. This will provide
enough spare voltage to compensate for
uphill grades, etc., but will prevent excessive
voltage to the lamps and smoke unit. (In
conventional mode, these operate at track
voltage, and excessive voltage may lead to
premature bulb burn-out.)
• If you wish to change the speed control
setting, you must deactivate the speed
control, then reactivate at the new
setting.
To turn speed control off, get your
locomotive into neutral for at least 5 seconds.
Press the horn/whistle button for 2-3 seconds
while lowering the throttle voltage to 1/4 of
full power or at least three volts. Do not turn
the throttle off or speed control may not
deactivate. This can be difficult if you have
established a low speed control setting. Once
you are in neutral, you can increase the
track voltage before pressing the horn/whis-
tle button and lowering the voltage. This will
give you more “room” to lower the voltage.
(The speed control deactivates when it sees a
3 volt change with the horn/whistle button
pressed, regardless of initial voltage level.)
Note! Speed control settings are retained in memory even if power is turned off.
They will remain present until deactivated.

Using your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler
in the non-Command environment
To use your locomotive tender’s Electro- Coupler in the non-Command environ-
ment, you must first couple a piece of rolling
stock equipped with Lionel magnetic cou-
plers directly to your locomotive tender’s rear
ElectroCoupler. The magnetic coupler on the
rolling stock will then react to the magnetic
field generated by a Lionel remote-control
track section (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 locomotive tender’s
ElectroCoupler will NOT open
manually or by using a
remote-control track section.

Your locomotive’s RailSounds system—the basics
Lionel RailSounds is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the
world. Your locomotive features digital sam-
ples from real-life steam locomotives for the
ultimate in realism.
Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery in the tender. This ensures interruption-
free operation of RailSounds. The battery clip
is located in the tender. To remove the tender
body, refer to the diagram on page 10 for
location of mounting screws.
When you first apply track power, the loco-
motive’s RailSounds system produces sounds
of the locomotive at rest. As the locomotive
moves, chuffing begins, increasing with the
locomotive’s speed.
To silence the steam chuffing sound (whis-
tle/bell are unaffected), slide the RailSounds
switch, located on the underside of the tender
(see page 10 for location), to the OFF posi-
tion before powering up the locomotive.
The whistle is activated by using the lever or
button on your transformer or CAB-1. The
volume control knob to raise or lower the
level of sound is located on the underside of
the tender near the front truck (see page 10).
Installing a 9-volt alkaline battery in
your locomotive’s tender.
Please remove protective cover from battery clip before installing the battery.
Although RailSounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for
uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the RailSounds
ON/OFF switch position.
If RailSounds “drops out” during track power interrupts (direction change),
replace the battery.

9
With RailSounds, you experience the sounds of real railroading like never
before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticat-
ed, authentic model railroad sound system in
the world. And remember—coming from
inside your Lionel locomotive’s tender are
the authentic sounds of the RailSounds digi-
tal sound system. No other electric train can
offer you authentic sounds. That’s the
power of Lionel.
• Variable chuff rate. Your locomotive
speed determines the steam chuff rate.
• MultiWhistleTM. Different whistles
every time—a RailSounds exclusive.
• Authentic bell. Press BELL on your
CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect,
again to discontinue. Even the final “hit”
is muted like the real thing.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power
down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,
and listen for the air-release sound—
that’s the locomotive telling you its R2IR
Command reverse unit has just reset to
forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model
railroad sound system shuts down like
RailSounds. Turn off track power, and
after the air-release reset sound, you have
two seconds to restart your locomotive. If
you’re done with operations, RailSounds
will commence with an authentic shut-
down sequence about two seconds after
the air-release reset occurs.
NOTE: Battery must be installed for shut-
down sequence.

Notes on RailSounds
• Use the volume control dial, located on
the underside of the tender, 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 sounds, even during
short track-power interrupts.
• Longer track-power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause RailSounds to shut down after
about 7 seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds
effects, operate your locomotive in the
TrainMaster Command environment. See
pages 12-13 for details.

Your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command environment
Lionel TrainMaster Command is the fun and sophisticated model railroad con-
trol system from Lionel. Your locomotive fea-
tures the R2IR reverse unit, which acts as
both a conventional reverse unit as well as
the key to unlocking many extra features
when you operate in Command mode.
TrainMaster Command gives you the
power to operate multiple Command-
equipped locomotives on the same track, at
the same time. It’s the most fun you can
have with electric trains, and it’s incredibly
easy too! Just follow the directions below and
you’ll be on your way.
To operate in Command mode, you
need a Command Base and a CAB-1
remote. Find them both at your authorized
Lionel retailer.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or
Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track.
• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.
• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communica-
tions wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or
the U terminal on any of your installed PowerMasters.
• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (or a
maximum of 20 volts) (on PowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to
CMD).
Address your locomotive with CAB-1.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This com-
mand is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates your
commands into digital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside
rails in the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to
this digital communication, but they do not respond until they hear their
own ID number.
• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—con-
trols the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. 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 Lionels come factory-programmed with
an ID# of “1.” To change your locomotive ID#, see page 16.
Move ‘em out!
•Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your locomo-
tive will respond to your every command. Read on. The fun is just beginning!

RailSounds in the Command environment
Your locomotive’s RailSounds system gives you even more in the

• DynaChuffTM. Real steam locomotive
chuffing depends on the locomotive’s load.
DynaChuff simulates both labored and
relaxed chuffing sounds. Highball down the
mainline and hear the labored chuffing of a
locomotive battling inertia. Reduce your
throttle setting, and chuffing relaxes to a
more sedate sound, as though the load placed
on the locomotive has decreased. Experience
DynaChuff on steep grades, at yard crawls,
and at speed. Another RailSounds exclusive.
• Bonus sounds like squealing brakes
with the CAB-1 BRAKE command.
• Incidental sounds you control with
CAB-1 numeric keypad commands, like
steam let-off and steam release effects.

*Hearing the Steam release sound lets you know
that the locomotive has received these commands.

Tuning your locomotive performance
MOMENTUM
Simulate the labored performance of a
locomotive pulling a heavy load with
momentum. Press L, M, or H (located under
CAB-1’s removable panel) for light, medium
or heavy momentum. The R2IR remembers
the setting until you change it. For delayed
response, use H. For quick response, choose L.
BOOSTING AND BRAKING
Use the BOOST and BRAKE command but-
tons for incremental control of speed and a
superior method for handling grades, stops-
and-starts, and more. Plus, using BRAKE in
the Command environment gives you a
bonus RailSounds effect—the ultra-realistic
sound of squealing brakes.
STALL
Make your locomotive feel more responsive
by setting a “stall” voltage. Get your locomo-
tive moving, then press SET; the locomotive
will stop. The headlight will flash, indicating
it’s in the SET mode. Turn the throttle clock-
wise to get the locomotive moving, then
decrease speed until the locomotive just
stops. Then press SET again; the R2IR
remembers the stall setting until you change
it. To clear stall, press SET twice, holding it
for one second each time.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press ENG, the locomotive ID#, then press
SET; the headlight will flash. Get your loco-
motive moving to the maximum speed you
want it to run, then press BOOST. Use this to
keep your locomotive from accidentally
being derailed at high speed.
To clear setting, press ENG,
the ID#, then immediately
press BOOST.
SOUND QUALITY
To achieve your preferred RailSounds mas-
ter volume level, use the volume control dial
located on the bottom of the tender (see
page 10). Turn the dial left or right to adjust
the volume to your liking.
For quick remote-control of volume below
the master setting—like muting—use the
CAB-1 numeric keypad’s volume control.
Pressing AUX1 and 4 on the keypad lowers
overall RailSounds output.
These settings will be lost when you
assign a new engine ID number.

Due to the inevitable derailments, static, and the nature of electricity, it is possi-
ble that your R2IR could someday lose its
setup program. The symptoms of this condi-
tion would be unresponsiveness in Command
mode. This can be easily remedied by “repro-
gramming” your R2IR using the following
steps.
Maintaining your locomotive’s handrail antenna
Your locomotive handrails are more than just model grab irons—they’re
the R2IR’s antenna for receiving Command
Base digital communications. Please handle
the locomotive carefully to avoid handrail
damage. To ensure optimum reception, both
handrails are insulated from the die-cast
shell. If your locomotive experiences difficul-
ty receiving Base communications, check the
handrail ends in the cab and pilot for the
presence of insulating material. Ensure that
each insulator is present and enjoys a proper
fit. Finally, prevent the handrails from touch-
ing any part of the die-cast locomotive cab.

Help your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend you purchase a
Lionel Lubrication and
Maintenance Kit (part no.
6-62927), available from your
Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to
keep in mind: never over-
lubricate (a small amount will
do), and avoid getting grease or
oil on the locomotive wheels,
contact rollers, or your track.
You’ll know your locomotive
requires lubrication when visual inspection
reveals dryness on the parts indicated in the
illustration. Remove accumulated dirt and
dust before lubricating, and
always lubricate any locomotive
emerging from prolonged
storage. Also, lightly lubricate the
locomotive side rods, drive rods,
linkage, front and rear truck
pivot points, and tender wheel
bearings after each 25 hours of
operation.
