Qu ck Start
Transformer operations
1. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track.
2. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)
transformer.
Do not power your locomotive set with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
3. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive’s headlight illuminates and
the RailSounds sound system starts up.
4. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTIO button on your controller, then
throttle up.
TrainMaster Command Control operations
To operate your locomotive set in the Command Control environment, you need a Command Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately,
6-12868).
1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base.
2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (19 volts AC).
Do not power your locomotive set with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
4. Press E G and 1 to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote
Controller.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.

Convent onal transformer operat ons
Conventional operations
Your locomotive set is capable of operating in the conventional environment with nothing more than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.
In the conventional environment, your powered A-unit locomotive cycles through a
repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to the
next operation, press the DIRECTIO button on your transformer. Alternately, you could use
the throttle to briefly turn off track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operation
when power is restored.
Once you cycle the powered A-unit locomotive into forward or reverse, you control your
locomotive set’s speed by varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase the
speed of the locomotive, you increase track voltage. To decrease the speed, you decrease track
voltage. To stop the locomotive and to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage is
turned off or interrupted.
Use the HOR and BELL buttons on your transformer (or separate buttons if your
transformer is not equipped with these controls) to activate these features. Only the powered
A-unit is equipped with sounds.
To experience all of your locomotive set’s features, we recommend operating in the
TrainMaster Command Control environment. With a simple one-wire connection, you can use
the CAB-1 Remote Controller to access all of the functions of your locomotive set. Refer to
pages 17-25 to see how to operate your locomotive set in the TrainMaster Command Control
environment.

Operating your locomotive set in the conventional environment
1. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track.
Be sure that the non-powered A-unit faces the rear of the train. The back-up light on the B-
unit should face the rear of the train.
2. Power your locomotive set at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)
transformer.
Power your locomotive set with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive set with a direct-current (DC) transformer may result
in damage to sensitive electronic components.
3. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive’s headlight illuminates and
the RailSounds sound system starts up.
When the locomotive set has determined that a TrainMaster Command Base is not connected
to the track, the locomotive set’s headlight will illuminate and the RailSounds sound system
will start. You are ready for operation in the conventional environment.
4. Move ‘em out!
Press the DIRECTIO button on your transformer to sequence your powered A-unit
locomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral,
and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive set to the
next operating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotive set moves at your desired
speed.
When placing your powered A-unit locomotive on your layout for the first time, it will
start out in neutral. Thereafter, it will start in forward after every power interruption
lasting five seconds or longer.
Use the HOR and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features on the
powered A-unit locomotive. Refer to page 13 if your transformer is not equipped with those
buttons.

Locking your powered A-unit locomotive into a single direction
When the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your powered A-unit locomotive sequences through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse,
neutral, and so on.
To “lock” your powered A-unit locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in
forward only), you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function. Refer to
Figure 1 for the location of the Command reverse unit switch.
1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTIO button or interruptions in track power to get your
powered A-unit locomotive moving in the desired direction or into neutral.
2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off track
power).
3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch on the powered A-unit locomotive to the P M
position. At this point, the locomotive is “locked” into your chosen direction.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the Command reverse unit switch
back to the RUN position.
Your locomotive will “reset” to forward after any power interruption lasting five
seconds or longer, regardless of the direction you set.

Coupling your locomotive set in the conventional environment
Each locomotive unit is equipped with one ElectroCoupler that is released by remote control at any point around your layout in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The
ElectroCouplers are located on the nose of the A-unit and the rear of the B-unit.
In the conventional environment, the ElectroCouplers will not open manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section. To couple your locomotive in the conventional environment, you
must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with a magnetic coupler. Simply release the
magnetic coupler and couple the rolling stock to the locomotive, even if the ElectroCoupler is
closed.
Keep in mind that you may still make use of Lionel Remote-Control Track sections (6-65530
for O gauge; 6-12746 and 6-65149 for O-27 gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts) with the
magnetic couplers on the rolling stock. Place the trigger disc on the magnetic coupler over the
central coil on the Remote-Control Track section, then press UNCOUPLE on the track section’s
controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, releasing the
coupler.

Ra lSounds 5.0 sound system operat ons
RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
Your non-powered B-unit locomotive is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds 5.0 sound system, the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds sound
system brings the sounds of the railroad to your layout through high quality sound recordings
of real locomotives.
When you operate your non-powered B-unit locomotive in the conventional environment,
you get the realistic sounds of the diesel motor, which automatically revs up as the speed of the
locomotive increases. You can sound the locomotive’s horn or activate the ringing of the
mechanical bell. CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered with the horn
button on your controller. When you are through with operations and power down the track,
your locomotive’s RailSounds sound system starts a realistic shutdown sequence (a nine-volt
alkaline battery is required, see page 10).
When you operate your non-powered B-unit locomotive in the TrainMaster Command
Control environment, you get full control of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system. In addition to
the horn and bell sounds, the locomotive’s RPM sounds automatically rev up, and you can also
set a particular RPM level using your CAB-1 Remote Controller. In the Command Control
environment, the release of the ElectroCouplers is accompanied by a coupler release sound. Use
the BRAKE button, and listen for the sound of squealing metal. You can also trigger CrewTalk
dialog and TowerCom announcements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive
crew and the dispatcher. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotive, the realistic
shutdown sequence commences (a nine-volt alkaline battery is required if track power is turned
off, see page 10).

Installing the battery
While the RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, we recommend that you install a nine-volt alkaline battery in the non-powered B-unit locomotive to prevent the
sound system from shutting down during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or
a dirty section of track). Follow these steps and refer to Figure 3 as you install the battery.
If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you
may need to replace the battery.
1. Remove the screws on each end of the non-powered B-unit and lift the body off the frame..
2. Snap the battery into the battery clip on the circuit board.
3. Replace the body, securing it with the two screws.
