3Move ‘em out!
Get your M-10000 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.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O gauge 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 fire up. 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 three-second power
interruption.)

Caution!
Note!
Curves must have a minimum diameter of 72”.
To couple the articulated M-10000 consist, connect a vestibule to one of
the cars at each articulation by pressing the vestibule assembly onto the end of one
car. The clasp slides over and catches the brass ring, and the contacts lock around
the post. Next, arrange the cars on the track and, holding them horizontally, slide
the vestibules into the ends of the cars. Once again, the clasp will catch the brass
ring and the contacts will lock around the post. Refer to Figure 2 on page 5.
Be sure that track power is off before coupling the cars to prevent accidental short
circuits.
Note!

To select a single operational state for your Lionel locomotive (example:
forward only), you can deactivate the
Command reverse unit’s sequencing
function with the reverse unit switch. The
switch is located beneath the locomotive’s
roof panel. To access the switch, remove the
two roof screws with a flat head screwdriver
and lift away the roof. Take care not to
disconnect the wire that connects the roof to
the circuit board.
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 1 for
the location of the switch. The locomotive is
now “locked” into your chosen direction. Be
sure to replace the insulating washers with
the screws.
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.

True to the prototype, the Lionel M-10000 features cars that are connected at
shared trucks. Connect a vestibule to one of
the cars at each articulation by pushing the
vestibule assembly into the end of the car.
The clasp slides over and catches the brass
ring, and the contacts lock around the post.
Next, arrange the cars on the track and,
holding them horizontally, slide the
vestibules into the ends of the cars. Once
again, the clasp will catch the brass ring
and the contacts will lock around the post.
Be sure track power is off
before coupling the cars to
prevent accidental short
circuits.
