3Move ‘em out!
Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your CAB-1
Remote Controller or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Command 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, turn-off track power.
See page 5 for information on locking your locomotive in a single
operational state.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O-54 or larger track.

2Power 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
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, the locomotive will wait
between three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the
TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it has determined that it’s
on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive’s headlight will
illuminate and RailSounds will start. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral.
(This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the first time.
Thereafter, it will start in forward following every five-second power
interruption.)
To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend using the
TrainMaster Command Control system, available at your authorized Lionel dealer.

Caution!
Note!
With track power OFF,
connect the drawbar between
locomotive and tender as
illustrated in Figure 1. That’s all
you have to do with Lionel’s
Wireless Tether, an infrared
communication system that
eliminates the plugs and wires of
the past. Figure 1. Drawbar connection

To select a single operational state for your Lionel locomotive (for example,
forward only), you can deactivate the
Command reverse unit’s sequencing
function with the Command reverse unit
(PROG/RUN) switch.
Get your locomotive moving in the
desired direction, then slow it down
without stopping. Set the Command reverse
unit switch to PROG. Refer to Figure 2 for
the location of the switch. The locomotive is
now “locked” into your chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction
operation, just slide the Command reverse
unit switch back to RUN.
Your locomotive’s reverse unit will
“reset” to forward after any power
interruption lasting five seconds
or longer, regardless of the
original locked-out direction.

Using your tender-mounted ElectroCoupler in the
non-Command environment
To uncouple rolling stock from your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler in
the non-Command environment, you must
rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped
with Lionel magnetic couplers coupled
directly to your locomotive tender’s
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, 6-65530 for O gauge, 6-65149 or
6-12746 for O-27 gauge). 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 sound system—the basics
The Lionel RailSounds sound system is the most realistic model railroad sound
system in the world. Your locomotive
features digital samples from real-life steam
locomotives for the ultimate in realism.
Begin by installing a nine-volt alkaline
battery in the tender as illustrated in Figure 4
on page 9. This ensures interruption-free
operation of the RailSounds sound system.
The battery clip is located inside the tender.
To access the battery clip, you must first
remove the six body screws from the bottom
of the tender and then lift off the top of the
tender. Refer to the Figure 4 on page 9 for the
location of the body screws.
When you first apply track power, the
locomotive’s RailSounds sound system will
produce the sounds of the locomotive at rest.
As the locomotive moves, chuffing begins,
increasing with the locomotive’s speed.
To silence the steam chuffing sound
(whistle/bell are unaffected), slide the
RailSounds switch, located on the top of the
tender beneath the hatch (see Figure 4 on
page 9 for the location), to the
SIGNALSOUNDS position before powering
up the locomotive. The whistle is activated
by using the lever or button on your
transformer or CAB-1 Remote Controller.
The volume control knob is also located on
the top of the tender beneath the hatch (see
Figure 4 on page 9).
Please remove the protective cover from the 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 ten seconds before changing the RailSounds
switch position.
If the RailSounds sound system “drops out” during track power interruptions
(during direction changes, switches, crossings, etc.), replace the battery.
RailSounds in the Command environment
Your locomotive’s RailSounds system gives you even more in the TrainMaster
Command environment.
•DynaChuff. 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 blow-off and steam release effects.

Notes on RailSounds
• Use the volume control knob, located
under the hatch on top of the tender, to
adjust sound output. Refer to Figure 4 on
page 9. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to
adjust the volume level.
Do not force the volume control
knob past the point where it will
easily turn, or damage to the
volume control will result.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during the operation of the RailSounds
sound system. They’re automatic and, of
course, authentic.
• The nine-volt alkaline battery you
installed ensures continuous sounds,
even during short track-power
interruptions. The battery must be
installed for the shutdown sequence.
• Longer track-power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause RailSounds to shut down after
about seven seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds
effects, operate your locomotive in the
TrainMaster Command environment. See
pages 13-16 for details.
10
RailSounds operations
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.
• Variable chuff rate. The speed of
your locomotive determines the steam
chuff rate.
• MultiWhistle. Different whistles
for different speeds—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 three to five
seconds, and listen for the air-release
sound—that’s the locomotive telling
you its 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 shutdown sequence
about two seconds after the air-release
reset occurs.
Experiencing the range of your locomotive’s RailSounds system
Note! A nine-volt alkaline battery must
be installed for the shutdown
sequence.
Note!

11
The Odyssey System is automatically operational when you operate your locomotive in conventional (non-Command Control) mode, as long as the Odyssey switch is in the ON
position (see Figure 2 on page 5). This means that your locomotive will maintain a constant
speed, compensating for grades, loads, and turns. Simply use your transformer’s throttle to
adjust the speed of your locomotive. If you would like to deactivate the speed control feature,
slide the Odyssey switch to the OFF position while the locomotive is not in motion.
In conventional operation, the lights in both the engine and tender are
connected directly to track power. Do not exceed 14-16 volts for extended
periods. Doing so will reduce the life of your lamps.
Because of the way that speed control operates in conventional mode, you will
notice a slight delay between adjusting your transformer throttle and the change in
the speed of your locomotive. If you desire instantaneous response to throttle
changes, turn off the Odyssey System.
Odyssey System operations

The Odyssey System
The Odyssey System is a “cruise control” for your locomotive. Once the speed is
set (see below), your locomotive will
maintain a constant speed, no matter what
loads the locomotive pulls or what grades
you have on your layout. This digitally-
controlled system also allows for extremely
slow movement that will amaze any “scale”
enthusiast.
Caution!

Use your CAB-1 to turn the Odyssey System speed control on or off. The
classification lights will flash twice after
each sequence has been entered. The
position of the Odyssey switch (see
Figure 2 on page 5) is the Odyssey
System default setting when you
power up the locomotive. You may
override the default with the following
commands. The override settings will be
cleared and the default settings will be
restored when the locomotive is powered

TrainMaster Command operations
The Command Control environment
TrainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system
from Lionel. TrainMaster Command Control
gives you the power to operate multiple
Command-equipped locomotives on the
same track, at the same time.
To operate in Command mode, you
need a Command Base (6-12911)
and a CAB-1 Remote Controller
(6-12868). Find them both at your
authorized Lionel retailer.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or
Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track.
2
2Address your locomotive using your CAB-1 Remote
Controller.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 Remote
Controller. This command is sent by your 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 Lionel engines 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 Lionel
engines. 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 locomotives come factory-programmed with an
ID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your locomotive, see page 17.

3Move ‘em out!
• Throttle up or press any command button on the CAB-1
Remote Controller. Your locomotive will respond to your every
1
1
• Make sure track power is OFF before placing on the track.
• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is plugged-in and its
communications 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 (no
more than 20 volts). On PowerMasters, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD.

Tuning your locomotive’s performance
MOMENTUM
TrainMaster Command’s momentum
feature simulates the labored performance
of a locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press
L, M, or H(located under CAB-1’s
removable panel) for light, medium, or
heavy momentum. The locomotive’s
Command reverse unit 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
effect—the ultra-realistic sound of
squealing brakes.
SOUND QUALITY
To set your maximum volume level, use
the volume control knob located on the top
of the tender beneath the hatch (see
Figure 4 on page 9). Turn the knob 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.
Press AUX1,4on the keypad to lower
overall RailSounds output.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press SET, and the headlight will flash.
Get your locomotive moving to the
maximum speed you want it to run, then
press BOOST. Use this to keep your
locomotive from derailing at excessive
speeds. Turn off the high voltage setting by
pressing SET, then BOOST, holding each
for one second.
STALL
Make your locomotive 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. Press SET again; the Command
reverse unit remembers the stall setting
until you change it. To clear the stall
setting, press SET twice, holding it for one
second each time.
These settings will be lost when you assign a new engine ID number.

your age, or 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 tender frame to aid in remembering.
As your fleet of Command-equipped Lionel locomotives grows, you’ll want
to give your locomotive a more
individualized number. Choose from any
between 1 and 99. To make things easy, use
a portion of your locomotive’s cab number.
Set the locomotive’s Command reverse
unit switch to PROG (see Figure 2 on
page 5). Plug in the Command Base and
place the locomotive on track, then power
up. Using your CAB-1, press ENG, the

Reprogramming the Command reverse unit to restore features
Due to the inevitable derailments and static, it is possible that your Command
reverse unit could someday lose its setup
program. The symptom of this condition
would be unresponsiveness in Command
mode. This can be easily remedied by
“reprogramming” your Command reverse
unit using the following steps.
STEP 1: Move the switch on your
locomotive from RUN to PROG.
STEP 2: Plug in your Command Base.
STEP 3: Place the locomotive on track,
then turn on power to your track.
STEP 4: Press ENG then input the
locomotive’s ID#. Press SET.
STEP 5: Press ENG, the ID#, AUX1, then
press 74 for this particular locomotive.
STEP 6: Turn off power to your track and
wait ten seconds.
STEP 7: Remove the locomotive from your
track, and move the switch from PROG to
RUN.
STEP 8: Place the locomotive back on
track, then turn power on to the track.
STEP 9: Press ENG and the ID#, then
operate as normal.
Maintaining your locomotive’s handrail antenna
Your locomotive handrails are more than just model grab irons—they’re the
Command reverse unit’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
metal shell. If your locomotive experiences
difficulty receiving Command Base
communications, check the handrail ends in
the cab and pilot for the presence of
insulating material. Ensure that each
insulator is present and in position. Finally,
prevent the handrails from touching any part
of the die-cast metal locomotive cab.

19
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Your locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe,
clean, white smoke during operation.
The smoke generator requires the periodic
addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to
function. A small tube of smoke fluid was
included with this locomotive. Pierce the
fluid tube’s end with a pin, then add eight to
ten drops of fluid directly into the smoke
stack. Smoke production will commence
momentarily, faster if you run your
locomotive at speed. When smoke production
wanes, add more fluid (eight to ten drops).
When you place your locomotive on the
track for the first time, the smoke unit will
be on. Thereafter, the smoke unit will return
to its last operating state each time you
power it up. For example, if you turn off the
smoke unit before you power down the
locomotive, the smoke unit will be off the
next time you power it up. If the smoke unit
was on before you powered down the
locomotive, the smoke unit will be on the
next time you power it up. When operating
your locomotive in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment, press
AUX1,8on your CAB-1 to turn off the
smoke unit; press AUX1,9to turn on the
smoke unit.
To control the operation of the
smoke unit with your CAB-1, be
sure that the smoke unit switch is
in the ON position. Refer to
Figure 2 on page 5 for the
location of the switch. Commands
from the CAB-1 will not override
the switch setting.
Always keep a small amount of smoke
fluid in the locomotive smoke generator; the
generator’s element can become damaged if
operated without fluid. Smoke production is
greater at higher voltages and when the
locomotive is pulling a heavy load or long
consist.
Note! Always keep smoke fluid in your locomotive’s smoke generator. If not, turn it off
when smoke is not desired using the smoke unit switch shown in Figure 2 on page 5
or the AUX1,8command if you are running in Command mode.
Note!

20
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Help your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend that you purchase a
Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit
(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 Figure 5.
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.
