1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the LEGACY
Base and connect it to the track.
2. Place your locomotive and tender on the track
and connect the drawbar as shown in Figure 1.
3. Increase track power voltage to full power (no
more than 19 volts AC). If a circuit breaker trips when
you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of
your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the
track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals
that may cause a short circuit. (Also ensure the drawbar
connection is not bent down shorting out against the center
rail.)
4. As illustrated in Figure 2, press ENG and 1
(or your selected ENG ID#) to address the
locomotive with your LEGACY Remote Controller.
5. Press the Start Up key on your LEGACY Remote,
shown in Figure 3. Then, throttle up and move
'em out! Your engine sound will start up, and the locomotive-specific touch screen buttons will
populate the remote. For more information on operating your locomotive with the LEGACY system,
please refer to the LEGACY section of this manual. Additional information is also found in the
LEGACY System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track curves.

Running your locomotive
Figure 2. LEGACY engine selection
Figure 3. LEGACY start-up
LEGACY Control operations
Your locomotive is designed for operation with the Lionel LEGACY system. It will also operate on the original Lionel
Trainmaster System (TMCC1) with limited features and also
on the LEGACY Cab-1L / Base-1L operating system (again, with
reduced features). Using a Lionel LEGACY set (6-14295) will
allow you to access ALL the features this locomotive has to offer.
Your commands are sent by the Remote Controller to
the Command Base, which broadcasts a radio frequency
that is distributed through the outside rails of the track to
your locomotives. Your locomotive will not respond until
it recognizes its unique ID#, so you can operate multiple
Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the
same time.

Running your locomotive
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track curves.
TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC1) operations
For operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you need a TrainMaster Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Refer to your TMCC
System Manual for complete information. To access all the locomotive's features, you
must operate in the LEGACY environment, as discussed on the previous page.
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which
translates the command and broadcasts a radio frequency that is distributed through the outside
rails of the track to your locomotives. which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#.
TrainMaster Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped
locomotives on the same track at the same time.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the
track.
2. Place your locomotive and tender on the track and connect the drawbar as
shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). If a circuit
breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to
make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals
that may cause a short circuit. (Also ensure the drawbar connection is not bent down shorting
out against the center rail.)
4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote
Controller.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.
For more information, please refer to the TrainMaster Command Control operations
section of this manual or the TMCC System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com.

Running your locomotive
Conventional transformer operations
For Conventional operation, a Command Base must not be powered up anywhere
in the area, even if it is not connected to the track. If a base is detected, your
locomotive will default to Command mode.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track curves.
1. With track power off, place your locomotive and tender on the track. Connect
the drawbar as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
2. Power up the track. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply,
check the wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to
make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit. (Also ensure the drawbar
connection is not bent down shorting out against the center rail.)
3. Move ‘em out! When the locomotive’s headlight illuminates and the LEGACY RailSounds
sound system starts, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your
locomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: neutral, forward, neutral, reverse,
neutral, and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive to the
next operating state. Adjust the Track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time and after power
interruptions lasting longer than five seconds, it will start out in neutral.
We recommend that you operate your LEGACY locomotive with The Odyssey II
Speed Control System turned on. You may choose to operate your locomotive without speed
control by placing the Odyssey II Speed Control System switch to the NO ODY (OFF) position. See
Figure 7 on page 10 for the location of this switch.
Use the Whistle and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate whistle and bell. Adjust the
volume using the volume control knob, which is located under the hatch on the deck of the tender.
Refer to Figure 5 on page 9. For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer
operations section of this manual.

Figure 4. Main smoke stacks
Running your locomotive
Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generators
Your locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke during operation. The smoke generator for this locomotive supplies both the stack and
whistle effects. A reservoir beneath the stacks contain the fluid and wick which, once satu-
rated, supplies the heating elements with the right amount of fluid.
Load smoke only into the main smoke stacks. DO NOT add fluid to the
whistle smoke hole! When adding fluid DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS at a time as
this can cause your smoke unit to become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics.
Note that operating your locomotive's smoke unit without smoke fluid could potentially
cause damage to the heating element. Add 20 drops initially to the main stacks, and 10 to 20
thereafter, as required to maintain desired smoke.
Your locomotive's smoke fluid consumption will vary depending on the smoke level
setting you have selected and the number of times you blow the whistle.
Refer to Figure 4 as you add the smoke fluid. If you prefer to operate your locomotive without
smoke, locate the smoke unit switch on the underside of the locomotive and slide it to the OFF
position. Refer to Figure 7 on page 10 for the location of the switch. This single switch controls both
the stack and whistle smoke.
For best performance, we recommend using only 6-37841 Lionel Premium Smoke
Fluid.

Running your locomotive
Adjusting the smoke output
Your locomotive features an improved smoke unit with variable smoke output. In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you may select low, medium, or high smoke output using your
CAB-1 Remote Controller. Your locomotive is shipped from the factory in the medium smoke output
setting.
To adjust the smoke output, bring the locomotive to a stop, press AUX1, AUX2, 9, then press
Lfor low smoke, Mfor medium smoke, or Hfor high smoke. Press AUX2 again to complete the
setting. See page 13 for the location for its new setting until you change it again.
It may take up to a minute for the smoke unit to heat up or cool down to the new setting.
In the conventional environment, smoke output is always at the medium level. Smoke
output is not variable in the conventional environment.
Adjusting the variable smoke unit output using the L, M, or Hbuttons will also effect the
locomotives speed step setting (see page 15). After changing the smoke unit output, simply
reset the speed step setting to your preferred setting by pressing the L, M, or Hbutton once
again.

To apply the Whistle Steam effect
Steam will emerge from the whistle whenever the whistle is sounded. To activate this feature, use the whistle slide switch on your LEGACY remote, the whistle button on your CAB-1 remote,
or the whistle button on your conventional transformer.
