Power up your locomotive with your transformer.
Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating cur-
rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers
are suitable.
Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers.
The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC)
transformers only.
Move ‘em out!
Get your locomotive moving. Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern
of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse
unit, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle
all the way back to the OFF position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION
button or interruption in track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next
operational state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Connect the drawbar between the locomotive and tender.
See Figure 1.
If the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, add smoke fluid to your
locomotive’s stack to prevent damage to the smoke unit. Refer to
page 10 for additional information.
Caution!

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke
during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 3 on page
7 for the location of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function.
Add 10-15 drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke production will commence
after running for several minutes. It will start faster if you run your locomotive at higher speeds.
When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops).
Caution! When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount
of smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke generator; the generator’s element
can become damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true
if your locomotive sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke
fluid in the generator.
If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add
smoke fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.
Note!
For best performance, we recommend that you use Lionel smoke fluid only.

Coupling
When coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left in Figure 2. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward
each other until they lock together.
Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.

Reverse unit procedure
When the 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 forward operation only, you can deactivate the reverse
unit’s sequencing function. Follow the steps below and refer to Figure 3 for the location of the
reverse unit switch.
1. Turn off track power, wait three seconds, and then remove the locomotive from the track.
2. Slide the reverse unit switch to the LOCK position. See Figure 3 for the location of this
switch. At this point, the locomotive is “locked” into forward direction operation.
3. Place your locomotive back on the track. Power up the track and press the DIRECTION
button on your transformer to confirm that the locomotive is locked in forward-only
operation.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, turn off track power and remove your loco-
motive from the track. Slide the reverse unit switch back to the RUN position, then place the
locomotive back on the track.

SpookySounds operations
Operating the locomotive's sounds
When the locomotive is on the track and powered up, several scary sound effects play at random.
Press the WHISTLE button on your transformer to trigger the scream-like whistler. The
sound will play for as long as you hold the button. If your transformer is not equipped with
this button, we recommend that you install a 6105906001 Sound Activation Button (available
separately) as discussed on the following page.
Transformers produced by other manufacturers may not be capable of activating this
feature. We recommend using a Lionel 6105906001 Sound Activation Button (avail-
able separately) if the WHISTLE button on your transformer does not work.
Note!

Installing a Lionel Sound Activation Button
If your transformer lacks WHISTLE/HORN and BELL buttons, you will need to install Lionel
no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) to activate the locomotive’s
whistle and bell sounds.
Connect the buttons as shown below. Be sure that all track power passes through the Sound
Activation Button(s). Do not bypass the buttons.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Figure 4. Lubrication points
Lubricating your locomotive
H
elp your steam locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintain-
ing it properly.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (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 locomotive’s wheels, contact roll-
ers, or your track.
You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on
the parts indicated in Figure 4. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and
always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.
