Running your locomotive
Locomotive basics
Your Locomotive is equipped with the latest generation electronics for operation in AC, TMCC, DC, and DCC environments.
When placing the locomotive on the track, several startup checks are performed. The
locomotive will sample the track voltage for AC or DC power, and then look for any DCC or
TMCC control signals. The DCC control signal has priority over the TMCC signal, so layouts
that have both TMCC and DCC will operate properly, in that the track the locomotive is on will
drive the operational features.
Several DCC command systems were tested, and listed below. The Configuration Variables
(CVs) are programmable in all modes (Ops, Page, Direct, and Register). In many cases,
reading back the CVs on a programming track are inconsistent; the only exception is the NCE
Power Cab system, which works fine. In other DCC command systems, the CV reading is quite
reliable when using the DCC Specialties PowerPax™ Booster.

1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the
LEGACY Base and connect it to the track.
2. Carefully unwrap the locomotive and tender.
Plug in the harness from the locomotive into
the front end of the tender as shown in Figure
1. This will improve operation by allowing electrical pickup
through the tender wheels.
The harness must be plugged into the connector
on the front end of the tender in order for the
locomotive to operate.
3. Connect the locomotive to the tender using the
included pin as shown in Figure 2.
4. 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.
Do not power with DC (direct current) or
damage may occur.
5. As illustrated in Figure 3, press ENG and 1
(or your selected ENG ID#) to address the
locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote
Controller.
Power your locomotive with either an AC or DC transformer. Powering your locomotive in
excess of 19 volts may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.

Figure 3. LEGACY engine selection
LEGACY Control operations
For the finest operating experience, your locomotive is fully compatible with the LEGACY Control 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 CAB-2 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.

Power your locomotive with either an AC or DC transformer. Powering your locomotive
in excess of 19 volts may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.
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 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.
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 plug in the wired tether as
shown in Figure 1 on page 5.
This will improve operation by allowing electrical pickup through the tender wheels.
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.
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.

6. Press the Start Up key on your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote,
shown in Figure 4. Then, throttle up and move 'em
out! Your engine headlight 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.

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 either an AC or DC transformer. Powering your locomotive in
excess of 19 volts may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.
1. With track power off, place your locomotive and tender on the track and plug
in the wired tether as shown in Figure 1 on page 5. This will improve operation by
allowing electrical pickup through the tender wheels.
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 against the center rail.
3. Move ‘em out! When the locomotive's headlight illuminates, 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 throttle 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.
For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of this
manual.

For operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give your locomotive a unique ID#. Your locomotive will respond to commands associated with its ID#
while all other units will disregard these commands. This procedure is not necessary for
conventional (non-Command) operation.
1. Slide the RUN/PGM switch to PGM per Figure 5.
2. Place the locomotive and tender on the track and connect the wired tether per
Figure 1 on page 5.
3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.
4. Power up the track.
5. Press ENG on the CAB-1 or CAB-2 remote.
6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that has not been
assigned to another locomotive (ENG). We recommend using a part of your
locomotive’s road number.
All LEGACY locomotives respond to ENG 99. We recommend that you reserve ID# 99 as a
"universal" ID#.
7. Press SET. The locomotive's headlight will flash.
8. Slide the program/run switch back to the RUN position.
The locomotive’s ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.
Assigning your locomotive a new ID#
Note!
The functions of your locomotive's switches are outlined below. Refer to Figure 5 for the location of the switches. The instructions below are specific to this particular locomo-
tive; note that available features (and switches) may differ from other loco-
motives and sets.

DCC Mode Operating Features
The Function keys are similar to the LEGACY touch pad. There are many Function keys on
the remotes, mapped to ten physical buttons – F0 to F9. Note that some DCC controllers have
additional Function keys above F9.
F0 (0 key) Toggles Headlight On/Off
F1 (1 key) Toggles Bell On/Off
F9 (9 key) Reset, resets operating modes, re-fueling (only when stopped)
Setting the locomotive address in DCC mode
Setting the consist position (CV50) in DCC mode
Your locomotive will operate on pure DC (not Pulsed) and DCC. DC operation provides directional control and directional lighting based on track polarity. To fully experience the
features on your locomotive, a DCC command station is required.
When operating under DCC, the features are controlled by the numerical Function keys.
Both short and long addressing modes are supported, as well as advanced consisting, which is
easily configured in the Lionel DCC implementation.
When a locomotive is powered up on the DCC system, the Function keys may not be
in “sync” with the locomotive state, and may require a couple of presses to sync the
operation. This is an artifact of the DCC systems, and is a common situation with
DCC decoders.
The NCE system will need a bit of configuration for optimal performance. Refer to the NCE
system manual and the information below.
Under the “Setup Command Station” menu
1. Number of Stop Packets: set to 8 (default)
2. Number of Program Packets: set to 8 from default of 4
3. Momentum Multiplier: set to 1 from default of 8
The locomotive address may be set by modifying the CVs or by using the locomotive Program/Run switch. Using the Program/Run switch makes ID changes a snap! Simply
slide the switch to PROGRAM, enter the loco ID (short or long) and press F2 The locomotive
ID is set! Slide the switch back to RUN, and use the selected ID for your loco.
Another great Lionel feature is CV50, “Consist Position.” When creating a consist on a DCC controller, one only gets to enter the default “direction” of travel.Once the consist
is created, tedious lighting tweaks are the norm. On the Lionel DCC implementation, simply
select each locomotive ID in the Consist (not the consist ID!) and enter CV50 per the following
selections, and all lighting, sound masking, and general operations are configured. CV50
values: 1 for lead loco, 2 for mid loco(s), and 3 for end loco.

15. CV 61, Function Groups Filter Setting* (default = 3)
16. CV 62, Config Variables Filter Setting* (default = 3)
17. CV 67 to 94, Speed Table 28 (active for 14 and 28 step mode only)
* Filter valid settings are 1 to 8. The filter settings are used to help prevent dirty track from
affecting loco operation by rejecting commands that do not repeat for the selected count
within a short period of time. For example, if the loco is on speed step 20 and the user sets
speed step 30, the default filter setting of 5 requires five speed step 30 commands to change to
speed step 30. Normally commands are repeated often enough in DCC controllers to pass the
default filter settings selected.
If your locomotive stops occasionally, increase the filter setting for CV59 and
CV60. If the loco does not respond to all speed commands, decrease the filter
setting for CV59 and CV60.
