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-54 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 and tender on the track
and connect the drawbar as shown in Figure 1.
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 2, 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 key on your LEGACY CAB-2
Remote, shown in Figure 3. 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-54 or larger track curves.
TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC/Command Control) 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 and tender on the track and connect the drawbar as
shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
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 on TMCC operation, 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-54 or larger track curves.
1. With track power off, place your locomotive and tender on the track. Connect
the drawbar as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
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. For
information on the Cylinder Steam smoke effect, refer to page 9.
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 The Odyssey II
Speed Control System 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 (OFF) position. See
Figure 8 on page 9 for the location of this switch.
Use the Whistle and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Adjust the
volume using the volume control knob, which is located under the hatch on the deck of the tender.
Refer to Figure 4 on page 7. For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer
operations section of this manual.

Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generators
Your steam locomotive is equipped with two smoke units that produce safe, clean, white smoke during operation. Like a prototypical steam locomotive, the main stack emits smoke,
and a blast of “steam” is emitted from the whistle when the whistle is sounded. The smoke unit
switches must be in the ON position for the smoke effects to operate.
To prevent damage to the heating elements, never operate your locomotive’s smoke units without
smoke fluid. When adding fluid, DO NOT EXCEED 20
DROPS per smoke unit as this can cause your smoke units to
become oversaturated and allow leakage onto the electronics.
Add 20 drops initially to the main stack (see Figure 5)
and to the whistle steam fill location (see Figure 6). Add
10 to 20 drops thereafter.
If you prefer to operate your locomotive without
smoke, locate the smoke unit switches on the underside of
the locomotive and slide them to the OFF position. Refer
to Figure 7 for the location of the switches. The main
stack smoke and the Whistle Steam effect are controlled
independently.
To prevent the Whistle Steam smoke from
leaking around the dome, place a drop of
smoke fluid around rubber grommet on the
brass fitting in the boiler. Blow the smoke fluid
down into the hole, and be sure that the dome
is seated properly on the boiler.

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 program run switch on your locomotive to the PGM position. See
Figure 6 on page 8.
2. Place the locomotive on the track.
3. Connect the Command or LEGACY 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 whistle will sound, or the headlights flashes
regardless of sound status.
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.
