The classic Lionel GG-1 is a model of the engine considered by many railroad
experts to be the best all around engine ever
built.
The GG-1 shape was designed by top
industrial designer Raymond Loewy and first
put into passenger service in 1935. The GG-1
can run at over 100 miles per hour with lit-
tle strain.
Lionel’s first GG-1 was offered in the 1947
catalog. The first model made with Magne-
Traction and twin motors was built in 1950.
The best GG-1 is in your hands. Enjoy!

Transformer operations
Running your Lionel GG1 set with a Lionel transformer
•Note the pull of Magne-Traction between your GG1 and the steel track.
Magnetized wheels and axles increase your pulling power (more than 25 cars on
straight and level track) and keep your GG1 on track while passing swiftly
through curves.
It is very IMPORTANT to determine which end of your GG1 is the front. Since it
is symmetrical it may start off in the opposite direction you are intending to go!
Turn over your GG1 and locate the volume adjustment knob (see page 8) this is
what we consider to be the “front” of your GG1. Please run your GG1 the first time by itself
just to make sure you know where it’s going.
• Your GG1 is designed to operate on 12-18 volts alternating cur-
rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transform-
ers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad con-
trol system.
• Do not power your GG1 with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive
electronic components may occur.
• When you first power up your track, the GG1 will wait between 3
and 8 seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster
Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a con-
ventional (nonCommand) railroad, the GG1’s headlights will illuminate and
RailSounds will fire up. At this point, the GG1 is in neutral. (This occurs when
placing the GG1 on your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it starts in for-
ward after every three-second power interrupt.)
Note!
NOTE!
• Get your GG1 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or Lionel
transformer. This sequences the Liontech Command reverse unit (R2LC) to the
next operating state. The R2LC alternates between three states: forward, neutral,
and reverse.
• Adjust track voltage until your GG1 moves at your desired speed. To increase
speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the loco-
motive, cut track power.
• To select a single operating state (example: forward only), you can deac-
tivate the R2LC’s sequencing function. Get your GG1 moving in the desired
direction, then slide the reverse unit control switch on the GG1’s underside to
PROG/LOCK. See page 14 for the switch location and positioning.

Using your GG1’s ElectroCouplers in the non-Command environment
To use your GG1’s ElectroCouplers in the non-Command environment, you must
first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped
with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to
your GG1. The magnetic coupler on the
rolling stock will then react to the magnetic
field generated by a Lionel remote-control
track section (available separately). 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 GG1 ElectroCouplers will NOT
open manually or by using a
remote-control track section

A note on Magne-Traction
Your GG1 is equipped with Lionel Magne- Traction, magnetized wheelsets and
axles that help increase tractive effort dur-
ing operation. Because the wheelsets are
magnetized, take care to prevent small
metallic objects from attaching to the wheel
sets and working their way into the GG1’s
motor assembly. They can damage your
locomotive.
Magne-Traction is not effective on
nonferrous track.
Using your GG1’s ElectroCouplers in the TrainMaster
Command environment
Your Lionel GG1 is equipped with ElectroCouplers™ that respond
to either the COUPLER F (front) or
COUPLER R (rear) button on your
CAB-1 remote when operated in the
Trainmaster Command environment.
Simply press either button on your
CAB-1 remote, and that coupler
opens.
Your GG1’s ElectroCouplers
are NOT designed to be
opened manually.

Your GG1’s RailSounds system—the basics
Lionel RailSounds is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the
world. Your GG1 features digital samples
from an authentic GG1 for the ultimate in
realism.
Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery in your GG1. This ensures interuption
free operation of RailSounds. Remove the
six screws,(see below for location) and lift
off the body. Connect the 9-volt battery to
the battery clip (remove the protective cap),
and place the battery into the open area on
the circuit board. Replace the body and
reinsert the six screws.
Apply track power and the GG1’s
RailSounds system delivers an authentic
start-up sequence. As the GG1’s speed
increases, the RPMs move through six levels
of roar. Sounds return to idle only after the
locomotive has come to a complete stop. To
silence the RPM roar (horn and bell remain
unaffected), slide the RailSounds switch to
its SIG (signal) position before powering
up the locomotive. See page 14 for the
switch location and positioning. To return
to the RPM roar, return the switch to the
FULL position.

Although track voltage powers
RailSounds, the battery is required for
uninterrupted operation and
shutdown sequences. Use only
alkaline batteries; do not use “heavy
duty” batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for 10
seconds before changing the
RailSounds switch position.
If RailSounds “drops out” during
track power interrupts, replace the
battery.

FRONT of GG1
REAR of GG1
Volume adjustment knob
With RailSounds, you experience the sounds of real railroading like never
before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticat-
ed, authentic model railroad sound system
in the world.
• Six RPM-roar levels. Your GG1’s
speed determines the level of RPM
roar—automatically, if you prefer:
idle, slow, medium, or full-speed output.
• MultiHorn™. A different horn sound
every time—a RailSounds exclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your
CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect;
again to discontinue.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power
down your track, wait for 3.5 seconds,
and listen for the air-release sound—
that’s the GG1 telling you its Liontech
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 2 seconds to restart your GG1. If
you’re done with operations, RailSounds
will commence with an authentic GG1
shutdown sequence about 2 seconds
after the air-release reset occurs.
Experiencing the range of your GG1’s RailSounds system
• Use the GG1’s frame mounted volume
control to adjust sound output. (See
below for its location.)
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during RailSounds operation. They’re
automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed
ensures continuous GG1 sounds.
• Longer track-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.

The Command control environment
Place your GG1 on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O gauge track.
• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on the track.
• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications
wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U on
any of your installed PowerMasters.
• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on PowerMaster,
slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).
Address your GG1 using CAB-1.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This com-
mand is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates your com-
mand 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
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—con-
trols the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gaso-
line 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-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an
ID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your GG1 (equipped with an R2LC) see
page 14.

• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your GG1 will respond to
your every command. Read on.

Lionel TrainMaster Command is the fun and sophisticated model railroad control
system from Lionel. Your GG1 features the
Lionel Command reverse unit, which acts as
both a conventional reverse unit as well as
the key to unlocking many extra features
when you operate in Command mode.
TrainMaster Command gives you the
power to operate multiple Command-
equipped locomotives on the same track, at
the same time. It’s the most fun you can
have with electric trains, and it’s incredibly
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.

Tuning your GG1’s performance
Momentum
TrainMaster Command’s momentum fea-
ture 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 momen-
tum. The GG1’s R2LC remembers this set-
ting until you change it. For quick locomo-
tive 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
ultrarealistic sound of squealing brakes.
Sound Quality
To achieve your preferred RailSounds
master volume level, we recommend you
use your GG1 volume control dial (see page
8 for location). Turn the dial left or right to
adjust the volume to your liking.
For quick remote-control of volume below
the master setting—for example, muting—
use the CAB-1 numeric keypad’s volume
control. Press AUX1 and then 4 on the
numeric keypad to lower overall RailSounds
output.
High Voltage Setting
Press SET, headlight will flash. Get your
locomotive moving to the maximum speed
you want it to run, press BOOST. Use this to
keep your locomotive from excess-speed
derailing. Turn off the high voltage setting
by pressing SET, then BOOST, holding each
for one second.
Stall
Make your GG1 feel more responsive by
setting a “stall” voltage. Get your locomo-
tive moving, then press SET; the GG1 will
stop. Turn the throttle clockwise to get the
locomotive moving, then decrease speed
until the locomotive just stops. Then press
SET again; the R2LC remembers the stall
setting until you change it. To clear stall,
press SET twice, holding it for one second
each time.
These settings will be lost when you assign a new engine ID number.
Note!

Assigning your GG1 a new ID#
As your fleet of Command- equipped Lionels grows, give
your GG1 its own ID#. Choose from
any between 1 and 99. Turn the
Command Base ON and place the
GG1 on track. Power up, then slide
GG1’s reverse unit control switch to
PROGRAM (PROG).
Using CAB-1, press ENG, the loco-
motive ID# (you select), then press
the SET button located under CAB-
1’s removable panel. See the GG1’s
headlight flash and hear the horn
blow; that’s your signal that the
programming has been accepted.

Replacing your GG1 lamps
Your GG1 is illuminated by two 14-volt lamps. During the course of normal
operation, they may require replacement.
Start by separating the die-cast body from
the frame; remove the six screws on the
underside of the frame and lift the body up
slightly.
Both lamps are “bayonet” style. To
remove, push down and turn counterclock-
wise to disengage the bulb from the socket.
Replace the expired lamp with Lionel part
no. 00-0363-300, available from your local
Lionel Authorized Service Center or Lionel
Service. (For more information, see Lionel
Service on page 20.)
Insert the replacement lamp’s prongs into
the socket, making sure of a tight connec-
tion. To reinstall the shell, reverse the pro-
cess. Make sure all of the wires are inside
the body before you tighten the screws.

Lubricating your GG1’s Pullmor motor armatures
Your GG1 will require occasional lubrica- tion of its Pullmor motor armatures. If
you hear excess noise during operation, or if
the locomotive slows down intermittently, you
may need to oil the top armature bearings.
Start by separating the body from the
frame (see page 15 for screw locations).
Apply a small amount of Lionel oil (2-3
drops) into the oil wick hole.
Finish the job by reinstalling the body
shell. Line up the screw holes and reinsert
the screws.
The Liontech Command reverse
unit is a sophisticated electronic
device and is extremely sensitive to
static electricity. Please avoid all
physical contact with the R2LC.

Help your Lionel GG-1 lead a long and productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend you purchase a Lionel
Lubrication and Maintenance kit (no. 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 GG-1’s
wheels or your track.
You’ll know your GG-1 requires lubrica-
tion when visual inspection reveals dryness
on the parts indicated in the illustration.
Remove accumulated dirt and dust before
lubricating, and always lubricate any loco-
motive emerging from prolonged storage.

Due to the inevitable derailments, static, and the nature of electricity, it is possi-
ble that your R2LC could someday lose its
setup program.The symptoms of this condi-
tion would be unresponsiveness in com-
mand mode. This can be easily remedied by
“reprogramming” your R2LC using the fol-
lowing steps
Step 1: Move switch on locomotive from
run to program.
Step 2: Turn on Command Base.
Step 3: Place locomotive on track, then
turn on power to track.
Step 4: Pres “ENG” then input locomo-
tive’s ID#. Press “SET”
Step 5: Press “ENG”, then the ID#,
“AUX1”, then press #6 for your GG1.
Step 6: Turn off power to track, wait ten
seconds.
Step 7: Remove locomotive from track,
move switch from program to run.
Step 8: Place locomotive back on track,
turn power on to track.
Step 9: Press “ENG” and ID#, then operate
as normal.

Although your engine is wired to operate on a three-rail track, it is equipped
with operating pantographs which can be
wired into the power circuit by any model
railroader whose layout works with a cate-
nary, or overhead power line.
The pantographs are held in place with a
spring catch and can be removed simply by
pulling the base frame upward. This is a
very important feature as it prevents dam-
age to the pantograph in the event of a
derailment or catching on a catenary. To
replace, open the pantograph and snap into
place by pushing in the center portion.
Catenary Operation
First remove the body from the frame of
your GG1. (see page 7) For prototypical
operation, (raised pantograph in the rear)
it will be necessary to switch the order of
connections to the pantographs. To do this
you will need to unsolder the antenna lead
from the rear pantograph pick-up, splice
about 6” of wire to the antenna lead, and
solder it to the front pantograph pick-up.
Next establish a wire from the rear panto-
graph pick-up to one of the collector leads
(cut and splice).
One of the pantographs acts as the antenna. Your GG1 may not respond to command
control without the pantographs installed
If you do wire power to the pantograph, you absolutely must fold down and secure the
other pantograph so that it does not accidentally pop up and touch the power line.
