Quick Start
Transformer operations
1. Slide the Odyssey System switch to the NO ODY position to operate without
speed control. To operate your locomotive with speed control, slide the Odyssey System
switch to the ODY position and refer to pages 17-19.
2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.
3. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)
transformer.
Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
4. Wait three to eight seconds until the locomotive’s headlight illuminates
and the RailSounds sound system starts up.
5. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTION button on your controller, then
throttle up.
TrainMaster Command Control operations
To operate your locomotive in the Command Control environment, you need a Command Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately,
6-12868).
1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base.
2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).
Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote
Controller.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.
Note!
Note!

Conventional transformer operations
Conventional operations
Your locomotive is capable of operating in the conventional environment with nothing more than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.
In the conventional environment, your locomotive cycles through a repeating pattern of
operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to the next operation, press
the DIRECTION button on your transformer. Alternately, you could use the throttle to briefly
turn off track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operation when power is
restored.
Once you cycle the locomotive into forward or reverse, you control your locomotive’s speed
by varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase the speed of the locomotive,
you increase track voltage. To decrease the speed, you decrease track voltage. To stop the
locomotive and to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage is turned off or
interrupted.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer (or separate buttons if your
transformer is not equipped with these controls) to activate these features.
To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend operating in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment. With a simple one-wire connection, you can use the CAB-1
Remote Controller to access all of the functions of your locomotive. Refer to pages 20-28 to see
how to operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.

Conventional transformer operations
Operating your locomotive in the conventional environment
1. Slide the Odyssey System switch to the NO ODY position to operate without
speed control. To operate your locomotive with speed control, slide the Odyssey System
switch to the ODY position and refer to pages 17-19.
Keep the Odyssey System switch in the NO ODY position when you are not running
your locomotive with speed control.
2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.
3. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)
transformer.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer may result in
damage to sensitive electronic components.
4. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive determines whether it is in
a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Control
environment.
When the locomotive has determined that a TrainMaster Command Base is not connected to
the track, the locomotive’s headlight will illuminate and the RailSounds sound system will
start. You are ready for operation in the conventional environment.
5. Move ‘em out!
Press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your locomotive through
the repeating pattern of operations: 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 throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time, it will start out in
neutral. Thereafter, it will start in forward after every power interruption lasting five
seconds or longer.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Refer to
page 13 if your transformer is not equipped with those buttons. Adjust the volume using the
volume control knob located on the left hand side of the fuel tank. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10.

Conventional transformer operations
Locking your locomotive into a single direction
When the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive sequences through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.
To “lock” your locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only),
you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function. Refer to Figure 1 for the
location of the Command reverse unit switch.
1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get your
locomotive moving in the desired direction or into neutral.
2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off track
power).
3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PGM position. At this point, the locomotive is
“locked” into your chosen direction.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the Command reverse unit switch
back to the RUN position.
Your locomotive will “reset” to forward after any power interruption lasting five
seconds or longer, regardless of the direction you set.

Conventional transformer operations
Uncoupling your locomotive in the conventional environment
Your locomotive features two ElectroCouplers that are released by remote control at any point around your layout in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.
In the conventional environment, the ElectroCouplers will not open manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section. To couple your locomotive in the conventional environment, you
must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with a magnetic coupler. Simply release the
magnetic coupler and couple the rolling stock to the locomotive, even if the ElectroCoupler is
closed.
Keep in mind that you may still make use of Lionel Remote-Control Track sections (6-65530
for O gauge; 6-12746 and 6-65149 for O-27 gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts) with the
magnetic couplers on the rolling stock. Place the trigger disc on the magnetic coupler over the
central coil on the Remote-Control Track section, then press UNCOUPLE on the track section’s
controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, releasing the
coupler.

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
Your locomotive is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds 5.0 sound system, the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds 5.0 sound system brings the
sounds of the railroad to your layout through high quality sound recordings of real
locomotives.
When you operate your locomotive in the conventional environment, you get the realistic
sounds of the diesel motor, which automatically revs up as the speed of the locomotive
increases. You can sound the locomotive’s horn or activate the ringing of the mechanical bell.
CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered with the horn button on your
controller. When you are through with operations and power down the track, your locomotive’s
RailSounds 5.0 sound system starts a realistic shutdown sequence (a nine-volt alkaline battery
is required, see page 10).
When you operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you
get full control of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system. In addition to the horn and bell sounds, the
locomotive’s RPM sounds automatically rev up, and you can also set a particular RPM level
using your CAB-1 Remote Controller. In the Command Control environment, the release of the
ElectroCouplers is accompanied by a coupler release sound. Use the BRAKE button, and listen
for the sound of squealing metal. You can also trigger CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom
announcements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive crew and the
dispatcher. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotive, the realistic shutdown sequence
commences (a nine-volt alkaline battery is required if track power is turned off, see page 10).

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
Installing the battery
While the RailSounds 5.0 sound system is powered through the track, we recommend that you install a nine-volt alkaline battery to prevent the sound system from shutting down
during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or a dirty section of track). Follow
these steps and refer to Figure 3 as you install the battery.
If the RailSounds 5.0 sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you
may need to replace the battery.
1. Carefully unsnap and remove the radiator vent panel.
2. Remove the protective cover from the battery harness.
3. Snap the battery harness onto the nine-volt alkaline battery’s terminals.
4. Slide the battery into the battery clip.
5. Replace the radiator vent panel.

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
Using the RailSounds 5.0 sound system in the conventional environment
When you first power up your locomotive, you will hear the sounds of the locomotive at rest. As the locomotive set moves, the RPM sounds automatically increase with the
locomotive’s speed. In the conventional environment, the horn and bell sounds are activated by
your transformer controls.
To silence the motor sounds, slide the RailSounds 5.0 sound system switch located on the
underside of the locomotive to the SIGNALSOUNDS position before you power up the locomotive or
after the locomotive has been powered down for a minimum of ten seconds. The horn and bell
sounds will still be active. To adjust the volume, use the volume control knob located on the left
hand side of the fuel tank. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10.
For proper operation of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system during track power
interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-volt
alkaline battery. See page 10.
In the conventional environment, you will experience several features of the RailSounds 5.0
sound system.
•Eight levels of diesel motor RPM. The level of diesel motor RPM automatically varies
with your throttle adjustments.
•MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds 5.0 sound system
exclusive.
•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your transformer to begin the effect, then press BELL a
second time to discontinue the effect.
•CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements. CrewTalk dialog is triggered by
your transformer’s HORN button.
•Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait three seconds, and listen for
the air-release sound—that’s the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command reverse
unit has reset to forward. Because the track is powered down, a nine-volt alkaline battery is
required for this feature. See page 10.
•Shutdown sequence. When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power up
again after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will hear
the realistic diesel shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a nine-volt battery is
required for this sequence to function. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10.
Note!

12
RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
Activating the CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements in the
conventional environment
In the conventional environment, CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered by short whistle blasts and vary with the state of the locomotive.
• If the locomotive has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short whistle blast triggers a
“please standby” dialog.
• If the locomotive has been stopped for longer than 15 seconds, a short whistle blast triggers
a “cleared outbound” dialog.
• If the locomotive is moving, a short whistle blast triggers an “all clear ahead” dialog.
• If the locomotive is moving with the bell activated, a short whistle blast triggers a “slow to
caution” dialog.

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
Using the RailSounds 5.0 sound system in the TrainMaster Command
Control environment
To access all of the features of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system, you must operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The CAB-1 Remote Controller
is required to activate features such as TowerCom announcements, CrewTalk communication, and
coupler release sounds. Refer to pages 20-29 to learn how the RailSounds 5.0 sound system is
integrated into TrainMaster Command Control operations.
For proper operation of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system during track power
interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-volt
alkaline battery. See page 10.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience all of the features of
the RailSounds sound system.
•Eight levels of diesel motor RPM. Your CAB-1 Remote Controller throttle
automatically determines the level of the diesel motor RPM. You may also set the RPM
sounds to a particular level manually using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
•MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds 5.0 sound system
exclusive.
•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to begin the effect, then
press BELL a second time to discontinue the effect.
•Squealing brakes. Press the BRAKE button and listen for the squealing of the
locomotive’s brakes as the locomotive slows down.
•Coupler release sounds. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to release an
ElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
•CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller
to trigger conversations between the dispatcher and locomotive engineer. You’ll hear “hold for
clearance,” “cleared for departure,” and many other exchanges. See pages 15 and 16.
•Shutdown sequence. When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power up
again after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will hear
the realistic diesel shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a nine-volt battery is
required for this sequence to function. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10. You may also trigger
the shutdown sequence without powering down the track using the AUX1, 5 command
when the locomotive is stopped and the diesel RPM sounds are at their lowest level.
Note!

Activating the CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements in
the Command Control environment
With the RailSounds 5.0 sound system, CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements feature a variety of brief radio conversations between the engineer and dispatcher. All
dialog is intelligible, and each comment is followed by at least one automatic response.
CrewTalk dialog is an engineer-initiated radio conversation with the dispatcher. TowerCom
announcements are a dispatcher-initiated radio conversation with the engineer. Be sure to listen
for the different combinations of words and phrases that comprise these exchanges.
Refer to Table 1 below for the dialog commands. The dialog in the table provides examples of
the conversations you can trigger. The actual phrasing will vary.

Odyssey System operations
Odyssey System operations
The Odyssey System is “cruise control” for your locomotive. Once the speed control is set, your locomotive will maintain a constant speed, no matter what load is placed on the
locomotive or grades you have on your layout. The Odyssey System also allows for extremely
slow movement that will amaze any scale enthusiasts.
In the conventional environment, you activate the Odyssey System and set your locomotive
to operate at one particular speed. Your locomotive maintains this speed until you turn off speed
control or set a new speed.
In the Command Control environment, the Odyssey System is activated using your CAB-1
Remote Controller. When the Odyssey System is active, your locomotive will maintain its speed
until you adjust the CAB-1 Remote Controller’s throttle.
17

Odyssey System operations
Activating the Odyssey System in the conventional environment
Follow these steps to activate your locomotive’s speed control in the conventional environment.
1. Slide the Odyssey switch to the ODY position. Refer to Figure 1 on page 7 for the location of
the switch.
2. Run the locomotive at the desired speed for approximately five seconds.
3. Press and hold the HORN button on the transformer.
4. While holding the HORN button, increase the track voltage by at least three volts (at least a
quarter turn).
The locomotive’s speed will increase before returning to the initial speed. At this point, speed
control is set. Increasing the throttle will not increase the speed of the locomotive; however,
decreasing the throttle will decrease the speed of the locomotive.
You may notice a slight delay between adjusting your transformer’s throttle and the
change in your locomotive’s speed as the Odyssey System works to regulate the
voltage to the motor. If you desire instantaneous response to throttle changes, turn
off the Odyssey System.
In the conventional environment, the lights in the locomotive are connected
directly to track power. To prolong the life of your lamps, do not exceed 14 to 16
volts for extended periods.
18
Note!
Caution!

Odyssey System Command Control operation
When the Odyssey System is activated, changes in the speed of the locomotive will correspond to each signal from the Command Base. For example, when you address the
locomotive and slowly turn the throttle knob, the first flash of the light on the Command Base
corresponds to the first speed step, which is the slowest speed of the locomotive. The locomotive
will maintain that speed until you increase or decrease the throttle.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you can use your CAB-1 Remote
Controller to turn the Odyssey System on or off. The position of the Odyssey System switch (see
Figure 1 on page 7) is the Odyssey System default setting when you power up the locomotive.
You can override the default setting with the following commands. The override settings will be
cleared and the default setting will be restored when you power down the locomotive.
Do not wait longer than two or three seconds between pushing the buttons in each sequence.
If the command is not accepted, repeat the sequence.
The locomotive must be in “neutral” when you enable or disable the Odyssey System.
Turn off the Odyssey System.
When you press 7, you will trigger a TowerCom announcement. This has no impact
on the Odyssey System function.
Turn on the Odyssey System.
When you press 9, you will activate the Air release sound and turn on the smoke unit
(if it was off). This has no impact on the Odyssey System.
19
Odyssey System operations
Turning off the Odyssey System in the conventional environment
Follow these steps to turn off the Odyssey System in the conventional environment.
1. While the locomotive is in neutral, turn your controller up to the maximum power (no more
than 19 volts), wait one second, then press and hold the horn button.
2. While holding the HORN button, slowly reduce the track voltage to approximately one-third
or one-half of the full power.
3. Release the HORN button.
4. Move the locomotive in forward OR reverse. The locomotive is now out of speed control mode.
Sliding the Odyssey System switch to the NO ODY position will disable the Odyssey
System. We recommend that you keep the Odyssey System switch in the NO ODY
position unless you want to activate the locomotive’s speed control.

TrainMaster Command Control operations
TrainMaster Command Control operations
TrainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. To operate your locomotive in the Command Control environment, you need a Command Base
(available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which then
translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails to your
locomotive, 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.
Keep in mind that track power is like gasoline in the tank of a car—it gives you the power
to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how fast to get there.
Operating your locomotive in the Command Control environment
1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base. Be sure that the
Command Base is connected to the outside rail or to the Common/Ground/U terminal on
your track power supply.
2. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger
track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (19 volts AC). On PowerMasters, slide the
CMD/CONV switch to CMD. Program Track Power Controllers to Command Control
operation.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer may result in
damage to sensitive electronic components.
4. Press ENG and enter the ID# to address your locomotive with your CAB-1
Remote Controller. All Lionel locomotives come factory-programmed as ID# 1. To
change the ID#, see page 26.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out! Your locomotive will respond to every command from
your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
