Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the
LEGACY Base and connect it to the track.
2. Place your locomotive on the track.
3. 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.
4. As illustrated in Figure 1, press ENG and 1
(or your selected ENG ID#) to address the
locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote
Controller.
5. Press the Start Up button on your LEGACY
CAB-2 Remote, shown in Figure 2. Then,
throttle up and move 'em out! Your engine sound
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.

LEGACY Control operations
For the finest operating experience, your locomotive is fully compatible with the LEGACY Control System. To operate in LEGACY mode, you need a LEGACY Command Base and LEGACY CAB-2
Remote Controller (6-14295).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-2 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which sends
a digital code through the rails to your locomotive. 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.

Running your locomotive
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.
TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC) operations
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 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.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the
track.
2. Place your locomotive on the track.
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 (or the ENG ID# you set) 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.

Running your locomotive
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 an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, 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 on the track.
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.
3. Move ‘em out! When the locomotive’s headlight illuminates and the LEGACY RailSounds
sound system starts, 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.
We recommend that you operate your LEGACY locomotive with Odyssey II
Speed Control turned on. You may choose to operate your locomotive without speed control
by placing the Odyssey II Speed Control System switch to the NO ODY position. See Figure 4 on page
8 for the location of the switch.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Adjust the
volume using the volume control knob. Refer to Figure 5 on page 9 for the location of this control.
For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of this
manual.

Locomotive basics
Your locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke dur- ing operation. Add 10-20 drops (shown in Figure 3) to prime the unit the first time you run the
locomotive or after being stored for an extended period of time, and then add 10 to 20 drops to refill
when smoke production decreases. When refilling, DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause
your smoke units to become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note that operat-
ing your locomotive's smoke unit without smoke fluid will cause damage to the heating element.
If you prefer to operate your locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch and slide it
to the NO SMK position. Refer to Figure 4 on page 8 for the location of the switch.
For best performance, we recommend using Lionel smoke fluid only. Do NOT use smoke
fluid from ready-to-run train sets.
Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Note!
Figure 3. Smoke fluid locations
Add fluid here (no more
than 10 to 15 drop)

The functions of your locomotive's switches are outlined below. Refer to Figure 4 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 locomotive sets.
Smoke Unit Switch (SMK/NO SMK)
Used to turn the smoke unit function on and off.
Program-Run Switch (RUN/PGM)
Used to assign an ID# and to reprogram the locomotive for LEGACY and Command operation
when the switch is in the PGM position. Also used to “lock” your powered locomotive in a single
direction, or neutral, in conventional operation when the switch is placed in the PGM position.

Locomotive basics
Installing the battery
Although the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, you may choose to install a nine-volt alkaline battery if you find that the sound system shuts down during
track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or over a dirty section of track). Follow these
steps to install the battery.
If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you may
need to replace the battery. Use only alkaline batteries.
1. Lift up and remove the radiator hatch from the rear of the locomotive.
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 holder.
5. Replace the hatch on the locomotive's roof.

For operation in the LEGACY or TMCC environment, you will want to give each unit a unique ID#. The 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 Command reverse unit switch on your locomotive to the PGM
position. See Figure 4 on page 8.
2. Place the locomotive on the track.
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 horn will sound, or the headlights will flash if the
RailSounds sound system is off.
8. Slide the Command reverse unit switch back to the RUN position.
The locomotive’s ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.

Locomotive basics
Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only)
In the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control your locomotive as one in a prototypical manner. It is still possible to control any of the engines in the lash-up
individually. When you issue a train command, the individual engine you were controlling
will return to the group. If there is a difference in speed, the individual Engine will return to
the speed of the lash-up at the rate set in the train momentum.
To build a lash-up, assign a unique engine (ENG) ID# to each unit. See page 10 for details.
1. Address the train ID# you wish to create or edit, 1
to 99.
2. Press INFO.
3. Press BUILD softkey (button directly under
BUILD).
4. Enter the front engine number. It is not
necessary to enter ENG, just enter the #. It will
appear in the blinking box.
5. Press ADD to add the front engine. The engine
will move to the right and the blinking box will
be ready for your next engine to be added.
6. Enter the second engine ID# in the blinking box.
7. Press ADD to add the second engine. The engine
will move to the right and the blinking box will be
ready for your next engine to be added.
8. Add all the engines you want in your lash-up in
this manner.
9. To change the direction of an engine in your lash-
up, turn the Velocity Throttle to move the engine
you want into the blinking box. Then press DIR to
change the direction of the engine.
10. To delete an engine in your lash-up, turn the red
Velocity Throttle knob to move the engine you
want to delete into the blinking box. Then press
DEL.
11. To save your lash-up, press SET. Watch the
onscreen prompts and wait until you see the
message TRAIN CREATED.

The direction of your engine toggles between forward and reverse at the
touch of the Multi-Controller. Press the center of the Multi-Controller once,
and your engine's lights will change directions and the engine will stop until
you throttle up again in the new direction.
Boost & Brake
Boost and brake give you another way to control the speed of your train.
Boost gives your loco a temporary increase in tractive power, and returns to the
previous speed when you release the control, while the brake command slows
you down more quickly than the Velocity Throttle alone.

The Train Brake is used to slow down and limit the top
speed of your train by adding a load. The more the Train
Brake is applied by pulling the Train Brake Slider down, the
more laboring is heard from the engine. Eventually Train
Brake application will slow down the train and it is even
possible to stop a train by pulling the Train Brake Slider all
the way down. If your smoke unit is turned on, you'll also
see more smoke as the slider is pulled down.

LEGACY RailSounds Sequence Control
Your LEGACY-equipped locomotive features Sequence Control. Based on the movement and speed of the locomotive, Sequence Control automatically plays the sound effects of an entire trip, from depar-
ture to destination, while you run your locomotive. Prototypical horn signals, bell, and radio chatter are
added automatically as you spin your throttle—no need to memorize a sequence of button presses.
To activate the Sequence Control feature, press and hold the AUX1 button for three seconds.
You'll hear a unique bell/horn signal, indicating that Sequence Control is now enabled. Release
the AUX1 key when you hear the sound.
Now, radio chatter, air brake release, and warning signals will play automatically as you move
out, reach cruising speed, and then decelerate for arrival, as illustrated in Figure 6. Plus, you can
still activate CrewTalk communication and TowerCom announcements using your remote.
To discontinue Sequence Control, you must tap AUX1, and then tap the 0key or the RESET
button. Cycling track power off and back on also turns off Sequence Control mode.
During sequence control mode operation, speed step 1 is used to trigger departure effects
such are air brake release and departure horn. Therefore your engine will not begin
moving until speed step 2 and the Roll Mode button will bring your engine to a stop
while Sequence Control mode is enabled. For the most realistic operation, medium or
high momentum is recommended when using Sequence Control.
