Due to the similarity in components
and features between Lionels new
Hudson and Pacific engines, we have
placed them together on one instruction
sheet. The care and maintenance for both
these engines is almost the same. Where
there are any differences we will let you
now with a note, enjoy.

Place your steam locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-
compatible O gauge track.
• With track power OFF, connect the locomotive tether between the
engine and tender. The four-pin tender plug connects with the
four-pin receptacle on the locomotive. Connect the drawbar
between locomotive and tender.

Running your steam locomotive with a Lionel transformer
• The engine tether receptacle is “ eyed” to allow the harness to be
plugged in only one way.
Note!
Power up your steam locomotive with your trans-
former.
• Your locomotive is designed to operate on 10-1 volts alternating
current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-cur-
rent transformers are suitable.
• DO NOT POWER YOUR LOCOMOTIVE WITH DIRECT CURRENT (DC).
Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur.
• When you first power up your track, your locomotive’s headlights
will illuminate. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. When
your train is first powered up, the default state will be neutral and
the default direction is forward. This means whenever you power
up your engine the engine will remain in neutral, and when the
power is removed and again applied, the train will move forward.
This condition holds true if the engine is being powered up for the
first time or if the engine has been powered down longer than five
seconds.
• Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-
1 remote or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel 103 E
reverse unit to the next operating state. The 103 E unit alternates
between three states: forward, neutral, and reverse.
• Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired
speed. To increase speed, increase trac voltage. To decrease speed,
reduce voltage. To stop the locomotive, cut trac power.
• See table on page for information on locking your locomotive
in a single operating state

Tire-Traction™
Your locomotive is equipped with
Tire-Traction. This means that
two of the drive wheels are fitted with
rubber traction tires to enhance
tractive effort so your locomotive can
pull many cars at once.
Lionel locomotives with Tire-
Traction grip the trac , enabling them
to pull heavy loads at higher speeds.
Lionel has provided an extra set of
traction tires to replace the installed
traction tires if they wear out. Simply
unscrew the drive rod nut from the
wheel and slip off the old traction tire
and remove it from under the drive
rod. Place the new one on the wheel in
the reverse of this step and tighten the
drive rod nut bac up and your ready
to pull that long freight bac to the
yard.

Using your tenders Electrocoupler in the non-Command environment
The rear of your Lionel locomotive’s
tender is equipped with an
Electrocoupler, when in the non-
Command environment, you must first
couple a piece of rolling stoc equipped
with Lionel magnetic couplers directly
to your tender. The magnetic coupler on
the rolling stoc will then react to the
magnetic field generated by a Lionel
remote-control trac section (available
separately). Place your rolling stoc ’s
coupler “trigger disc” over the central
coil of a remote-control trac section and
press uncouple on the controller. The
magnetic field pulls the disc downward,
and the coupler opens.
Your locomotive’s tender mounted
Electrocoupler will NOT open manually
or by using a remote-control track section
Magnetic coupler on the rolling
stoc coupled to your tender
Note!
Remote-control trac section
Adding fluid to your Locomotive’s smoke generator
Your Locomotive is equipped with a
smo e generator that produces
safe, clean white smo e during opera-
tion.
The smo e generator requires the
periodic addition of Lionel smo e fluid
in order to function. Pierce the tube end
with a pin, then add four to eight drops
of fluid directly into the Locomotive’s
stac . Smo e production will com-
mence momentarily, faster if you run
your Locomotive at speed. When
smo e production wanes, add more
fluid (four to eight drops).
If you prefer to have a smoke free loco-
motive, there is a switch located on the
bottom of the engine under the cab
mar ed SMOKE ON OFF (see page 5
for location). Move the switch to off
and your locomotive will stop smo -
ing. (Without a prescription or hypno-
sis.)
An idle locomotive will not smo e;
press AUX1 and 9 (press for a maxi-
mum of 10 seconds) to engage the
smo e generator at idle/in neutral.
When the smo e unit is on always
eep a small amount of smo e fluid in
the Locomotive’s smo e generator; the
generator’s element can become dam-
aged if operated without fluid. Smo e
production is greater at higher volt-
ages and when the Locomotive is
pulling a heavy load or long consist.

The New E-Series Reversing Unit con-
trols the direction of the engine. When the
reversing unit senses an interruption in
trac power, it will cycle into the next
direction in the sequence. The sequence is
neutral, forward, neutral, reverse.... Trac
power interruptions are created using the
direction control on your transformer or
Cab-1, or by turning the throttle to zero.
When power is first applied (or after a 5
second power interruption), the engine
will power up in neutral, always before
forward. A single press of the direction
button will set your engine in forward
motion. This will help eliminate unex-
pected start ups, derailments, and crashes.
Listed in the table below is the direction
sequence pattern that your 103E unit will
follow under the given conditions.
As always, a loc out switch is included
to deactivate the 103 E’s sequencing func-
tion. (for switch location see illustration
below) A new feature is that now you will
have a neutral available even when the
reversing unit is “off”. In addition, you no
longer have to slow the engine by hand to
turn off the reversing unit while the train
is moving. Simply stop the engine, and
throw the switch. The 103 E unit will be
loc ed into its last moving direction, plus
neutral. Even simpler, just put the switch
in the “PROG” position and eep power
off for 5 seconds. When you start, you will
be loc ed in neutral/forward.Otherwise,
your “reverse” loc will become a “for-
ward” loc after any 5 second power off.
NOTE: Due to limitations of the elec-
tronic components, it is hard to predict
how each engine will function when
power is interrupted between 2.5 seconds
and 5 seconds. Engines will function
either as in case #1 or case #2. This solely
depends on the tolerances of the installed
electronics and is not affected or caused
by your power supply.

Notes on Railsounds
• The volume control is located on the
side of the tender frame in the middle and
mar ed with a + and -. Turn the volume
set screw cloc wise or counter cloc wise
to adjust the volume.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during Railsounds operation. They’re
automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The 9-volt al aline battery you
installed ensures continuous steam loco-
motive sounds.
• Longer trac -power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause Railsounds to shut down after
about 7 seconds.
• For even more authentic Railsounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command environment.
Your locomotive’s Railsounds system—the basics
Lionel Railsounds is the most realistic
model railroad sound system in the
world. Your locomotive Railsounds
features digital samples for the ultimate in
realism.
Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery in your tender. This ensures inter-
ruption free operation of Railsounds.
Remove the tender body as described
on page 15. Connect the 9-volt al aline
battery to the battery clip (remove the
protective cover from the battery clip),
and place the battery in the holder
inside the tender.
When you first apply trac power, the
locomotive’s Railsounds system deliv-
ers an authentic start-up sequence, fol-
lowed by the sounds of the locomotive
at idle. As the locomotive’s speed
increases, the chuff rate will increase
too.
To silence the steam chuff (horn and
bell remain unaffected), slide the
Railsounds switch, located underneath
the tender, to the SIGNAL SOUND
position before powering up t e locomotive.
The switch is located on the side of the
tender frame in the middle of the tender.
Although Railsounds is
powered by trac voltage, t e
battery is required for uninter-
rupted operation and shut-
down sequences. Use only
al aline batteries.
Note!
Discontinue locomotive
power for 10 seconds
before changing the
Railsounds/Signalsounds
ON/OFF switch position.
Note!
If Railsounds “drops out”
during trac power inter-
rupts (direction change),
replace the battery.
Note!

With Railsounds, you experience
the sounds of real railroading
li e never before. Simply put, it’s the
most sophisticated, authentic model
railroad sound system in the world.
• Variable chuff rate. Your Locomotive’s
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 li e the real thing.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power
down your trac , wait for 3-5 seconds,
and listen for the air-release sound—
that’s the Locomotive telling you its
Liontech Command reverse unit has
just reset to forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other
model railroad sound system shuts
down li e Railsounds. Turn off trac
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 steam locomotive
shutdown sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs.

TrainMaster Command operations
Your steam locomotive in the TrainMaster Command environment
L
ionel TrainMaster Command is the
fun and sophisticated model railroad
control system from Lionel. Your steam
locomotive features the Liontech
Command reverse unit, which acts as
both a conventional reverse unit as well
as the ey to unloc ing many extra fea-
tures when you operate in Command
mode.
TrainMaster Command gives you the
power to operate multiple Command-
equipped locomotives on t e same track, at
t e same time. It’s the most fun you can
have with electric trains, and it’s incredi-
bly easy too! Just follow the directions
below and you’ll be on your way.
TO OPERATE IN COMMAND, YOU NEED A
COMMAND BASE AND A CAB-1 REMOTE.
Find them both at your authorized Lionel
retailer.
Place your steam locomotive and tender on Lionel
or Lionel compatible O gauge track.
• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.
• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communi-
cations wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel
transformer or the U on any of your installed PowerMasters.
• Once positioned on the trac , increase track voltage to FULL (on
PowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).
2
2Address your steam locomotive with CAB-1.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric eypad of your CAB-1 remote.
This command is sent by CAB-1 to the Command 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 Lionels listen to this digital communica-
tion, but they do not respond until they hear their own ID number.
• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not trac
power—controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Trac
power is simply li e gasoline in the tan 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 locomotives come factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” To
change your steam locomotive’s ID#, see page 13.
