Track assembly and layout
Joining the track sections
oin the track sections together by placing them on a flat surface and inserting the plastic
tabs of each track section into the corresponding openings of thenext section. Press or
squeeze the ties together to connect. This mayrequire the help of an adult. Recheck all track
connection points upon completing your layout to be sure they are secure.
To disassemble thetrack just lift one of the track sections slightly at an angle where they
join together and they will snap apart. See Figure 1.
The rails should bekept clean, dry, and freefrom oil, grease, and dirt. Clean the track
periodically with a clean soft cloth.

Connecting the locomotive and coal tender
lace the locomotive on the track first. Be sure that all the wheels are within the track
rails.
The locomotive will not turn on until the power switch at the top of the locomotive
is slid to the ON position.
Place the tender on the track behind the locomotive and connect the couplers. Be sure that all
the tender’s wheels are on the track rails. See Figure 6.

Operating your train
The wireless controller
urn the power switch on the side of the wireless controller to the up or ON position. The
red LED at the top of the speed dial will illuminate to tell you the controller is on.
Turn the power switch on the wireless controller to the down or OFF position when not in
use. The LED at the top of the dial will go out to indicate the power is off. See Figure 7.
Leaving the wireless controller power ON when not in use will drain the controller’s
battery.
3 BUTTON WIRELESS CONTROLLER
Figure 7. Using the wireless controller
Pairing the wireless controller to your Ready-to-PlayTM train set
ith the wireless controller turned off, turn the locomotive power switch to the “ON”
position. The locomotive will produce a loud beeping sound, while the headlight will be
off, and the cab light is blinking on and off.
Turn the wireless controller on. The locomotive sounds will turn on, the headlight will
illuminate, and the cab light will turn off as long as the train is stopped (at idle).
If the controller is turned on PRIOR to the locomotive, the LED on the remote will
blink on and off. Once the remote pairs with the locomotive, the LED on the
controller will turn solid if the position of the dial is in the neutral/idle position
and the knob is facing up. The locomotive sounds will come alive as described
above.

Operating your train
Operating your wireless controller
urn your wireless controller to the ON position by sliding the button on the right side of the
controller up. An LED on top of the dial will light to indicate the power is on (See Figure 7 on
page 11). See Figure 8 on page 13 for button operations.
Forward
Turn the throttle dial to the right towards GREEN. There are three speeds in the forward
position and the more you turn the dial along the green arrow, the faster the train will run. The
flashing rate of the LED will be consistent with the speed. The 3 speeds are slow (slow blink),
medium (medium blink) and fast (fast blink). Once the locomotive begins to move, the cab light
will turn on and stay on as long as the locomotive is moving.
Stop
Turning the dial to the top will stop the train. Note that it may take up to several seconds for the
train to come to a complete stop depending on how fast it was going. Make sure to bring the train to
a complete stop before changing direction.
Reverse
Turn the dial towards the blue REVERSE position to have the train move in reverse. Again,
there are three speeds in the reverse position. The more you turn the dial along the blue arrow,
the faster the train will go. The flashing rate of the LED will be consistent with the speed.
Bell
Pressing the BELL button activates the locomotive's bell sound.
Center Button with Music Note (Depending on which set purchased)
Pressing the center button marked with a music note activates a special announcement
when stopped and another announcement when moving.
Whistle
Pressing the WHISTLE button activates the locomotive's whistle.
If the locomotive power switch is turned off while the locomotive is moving, it will stop.
The LED on the controller will begin to blink slowly, signifying it has lost communication
with the locomotive.
If the controller is turned off while the train is running the locomotive will slow down and stop.
The headlight will turn off, cab light will begin flashing and a loud beeping sound will begin
playing (notifying the operator to slide the power switch to the “OFF” position to conserve battery
life).
Leaving the Wireless Controller power ON when not in use will drain the controller’s
battery.

It is very important to keep the track and wheels free from dirt and grease. Wipe them with a soft cloth whenever they get dirty. This will help the locomotive run more efficiently.

Maintenance and operations
Troubleshooting
The train will not run and the locomotive light is not on. The locomotive cab light is
blinking.
1. Check to see if the wireless controller is in the OFF position.
2. After checking the above and if thelight is still not on replace the 6 ‘C’ batteries in the
locomotive. Be sure the batteries are oriented as indicated in the battery compartment (see
page 8 and 9). After replacing the batteries, slide the switch to the ON position.
The train will not run but the engine headlight and sounds are on.
1. Check to make sure the wireless controllerpower switch is in the ON position. This will be
indicated by the red LED being illuminated.
2. Try moving the controller closer to the locomotive. Although designed for an optimal range
of 10 feet, the signal can be weakened bya metal object or other interference.
3. Be sure the controller is not lying flat on the floor and the controller is positioned above the
level of the train.
4. Replace the 3 ‘AAA’ batteries in the controller (see page 7). Be sure that the batteries are
oriented as indicated in the battery compartment.
The train will not run and the cab light is flickering.
1. Check to see if your wireless controller's power light is on. Give the train a new command
such as the whistle button. If thelamp remains flickering and the whistle will not sound,
either your locomotive or controller needs repair. If thecab light changes to a steady white
glow and the whistle doesnot sound, your locomotive needs repair. Please contact Lionel
service. See page 16.
The train runs, but the wheels slip on the track.
1. Check the top of the track rails and rubberized drive wheelsfor dirt or grease. Clean with a
soft dry or slightly dampened cloth.
2. Check to see that all of the wheels of both the locomotive, tender and carsare located
properly on the track.
