Transformer operations
Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer
Place your locomotive on Lionel or
Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track.
• With track power OFF, connect the drawbar between locomotive and tender.
That’s all you have to do with Lionel’s new Wireless Tether®, an infrared commu-
nication system that eliminates theplugs and wires of the past.
NOTE:Your locomotive is designed to operate on minimum 0-54 diameter track.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.
• Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating
current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current trans-
formers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad
control system.
• When you first power up your track, the locomotive will wait
between three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from
the TrainMaster Command Base(available separately). When it’s determined that
it’s on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotiveheadlight will
illuminate and RailSounds will start up. At this point, the locomotive isin neu-
tral. (This occurs when placing thelocomotive on yourrailroad for thefirst time.
Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power interrupt.)
• To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend using
TrainMaster Command Control, available at your authorized Lionel Dealer.
• Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to
sensitive electronic components mayoccur.
Note!
Move ‘em out!
• Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or
Lionel transformer. Thissequences the Command reverse unit to the next operat-
ing state.
• Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Transformer operations
To select a single operational state for your Lionel locomotive (example: forward only), you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function with the Program/Run switch, locat-
ed on the right hand side, under the locomotive’s cab.
Get your locomotive moving in the desired direction, then slow it down without stopping. Set the
Program/Run switch to PROG. The locomotive is now “locked” into your chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction operation, just slide the Program/Run switch back to
RUN.

Transformer operations
Your locomotive’s Odyssey™ System speed control
You can lock your locomotive into speed control mode (ideal for low speed operation) so it will automatically compensate for grades, or to simply maintain a specific speed setting. To turn on
the speed control, get your locomotive moving at the desired speed, in forward or reverse. Let it run
at the desired speed for at least 5 seconds. Press and hold the horn/whistle button for 2-3 seconds as
you increase the throttle by at least 3 volts. Your locomotive will accelerate briefly, then will return to
your set speed once you release the horn/whistle button. As long as the throttle position is maintained
at a higher setting than the initial level, your locomotive will maintain a constant speed. If the throt-
tle is turned below the original level, your locomotive will slow down due to the available voltage
decrease below the “set” level. To check if the speed control setting has been “accepted,” turn up the
throttle. You will see the lights brighten, but the speed will remain constant. For best results, adjust
the track voltage about 3-4 volts above the “set” point. This will provide enough spare voltage to
compensate for uphill grades, etc., but will prevent excessive voltage to the lamps and smoke unit.
(In conventional mode, these operate at track voltage, and excessive voltage may lead to premature
bulb burn-out.)
• If you wish to change the speed control setting, you must deactivate the speed control, then reacti-
vate at the new
setting.
To turn speed control off, get your locomotive into neutral for at least 5 seconds. Press the horn/
whistle button for 2-3 seconds while lowering the throttle voltage to 1/4 of full power or at least three
volts. Do not turn the throttle off or speed control may not deactivate. This can be difficult if you have
established a low speed control setting. Once you are in neutral, you can increase the track voltage
before pressing the horn/whistle button and lowering the voltage. This will give you more “room” to
lower the voltage. (The speed control deactivates when it sees a 3 volt change with horn/whistle
pressed, regardless of initial voltage level.)
Note! Speed control settings are retained in memory even if power is turned off. They will remain
present until deactivated.

Using your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler in the non-Command
environment
To use your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler in the non-Command environment, you must first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to your locomo-
tive tender’s rear ElectroCoupler. The magneticcoupleron therolling stock will then react to the
magnetic field generated by a Lionel remote-control track section (available separately). Place your
rolling stock’s coupler “trigger disc” over the central coil of a remote-control track section and press
“uncouple” on the controller. The magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the coupler opens.
Your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler will NOT open manually or by
using a remote-control track section.

Lionel RailSounds is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. Your locomotive features digital samples from real-life steam locomotives for the ultimate in realism.
Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline battery in the tender. This ensures interruption-free operation
of RailSounds. The battery clip is located in the tender. To remove the tender body, refer to the dia-
gram on page 10 for location of the four mounting screws.
When you first apply track power, the locomotive’s RailSounds system produces sounds of the loco-
motive at rest. As the locomotive moves, chuffing begins, increasing with the locomotive’s speed.
To silence the steam chuffing sound (whistle/bell are unaffected), slide the RailSounds switch,
located on the underside of the tender (see page 10 for location), to the OFF position before power-
ing up the locomotive. The whistle is activated by using the lever or button on your transformer or
CAB-1. The volume control knob to raise or lower the level of sound is located on the underside of the
tender near the front truck (see page 10).
Please remove protective cover from battery clip before installing the battery.
Although RailSounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for
uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the
RailSounds
on/off
switch position.
If RailSounds “drops out” during track power interrupts (direction change),
replace the battery.

Experiencing the range of your locomotive’s RailSounds system
Transformer operations
With RailSounds, you experience the sounds of real railroading like never before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticated, authentic model railroad sound system in the world. And remem-
ber—coming from inside your Lionel locomotive’s tender are the authentic sounds of the
RailSounds digital sound system. No other electric train can offer you authentic sounds. That’s the
power of Lionel.
• Variable chuff rate. Your locomotive speed determines the steam chuff rate.
• MultiWhistleTM. Different whistles every time—a RailSounds exclusive.
• Authentic bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect, again to discon-
tinue. Even the final “hit” is muted like the real thing.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds, and listen for the
air-release sound—that’s the locomotive telling you its Command reverse unit has just reset to
forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model railroad sound system shuts down like RailSounds. Turn
off track power, and after the air-release reset sound, you have two seconds to restart your locomo-
tive. If you’re done with operations, RailSounds will commence with an authentic shutdown
sequence about two seconds after the air-release reset occurs.
NOTE: A 9V alkaline battery must be installed for shutdown sequence.

Notes on RailSounds
• Use the volume control dial, located on the underside of the tender, to adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during RailSounds operation. They’re automatic and, of
course, authentic.
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed ensures continuous sounds, even during short
track-power interrupts.
• Longer track-power interruptions (including locomotive derailments) cause RailSounds to shut
down after about 7 seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds effects, operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster
Command environment. See page 14-16 for details.

Your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command environment
Lionel T rainMaster Command is the fun and sophisticated model railroad control system from Lionel. Your locomotive features the Command reverse unit, which acts as both a conventional
reverse unit as well as the key to unlocking many extra features when you operate in Command
mode.
TrainMaster Command gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives
on the same track, at the same time. It’s the most fun you can have with electric trains, and it’s
incredibly easy too! Just follow the directions below and you’ll be on your way.
To operate in Command mode, you need a Command Base and a CAB-1 remote.
Find them both at your authorized Lionel retailer.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O-54 or larger track.
• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.
• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications wire is
connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U terminal on any of
your installed PowerMasters.
• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on PowerMaster,
slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).
Address your locomotive with CAB-1.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This command is
sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates your commands into digital
code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in the form of a digital
“halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital communication, but they
do not respond until they hear their own ID number.
• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—controls the
actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gasoline in the tank
of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or
how fast to get there.
• All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an ID#
of “1.” To change your locomotive ID#, see page 14.
Move ‘em out!
• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your locomotive will
respond to your every command. Read on. The fun is just beginning!

Tuning your locomotive performance
MOMENTUM
Simulate the labored performance of a locomotive pulling a heavy load with momentum. Press L, M,
or H (located under CAB-1’s removable panel) for light, medium or heavy momentum. The Command
reverse unit remembers the setting until you change it. For delayed response, use H. For quick
response, choose L.
BOOSTING AND BRAKING
Use the BOOST and BRAKE command buttons for incremental control of speed and a superior
method for handling grades, stops-and-starts, and more. Plus, using BRAKE in the Command envi-
ronment gives you a bonus RailSounds effect—the ultra-realistic sound of squealing brakes.
STALL
Make your locomotive feel more responsive by setting a “stall” voltage. Get your locomotive mov-
ing, then press SET; the locomotive will stop. The headlight will flash, indicating it’s in the SET
mode. Turn the throttle clockwise to get the locomotive moving, then decrease speed until the loco-
motive just stops. Then press SET again; the Command reverse unit remembers the stall setting until
you change it. To clear stall, press SET twice, holding it for one second each time.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press ENG, the locomotive ID#, then press SET; the headlight will flash. Get your locomotive mov-
ing to the maximum speed you want it to run, then press BOOST. Use this to keep your locomotive
from accidentally being derailed at high speed.
To clear setting, press ENG,
the ID#, then immediately
press BOOST.
SOUND QUALITY
To achieve your preferred RailSounds master volume level, use the volume control dial located on
the bottom of the tender (see page 10). Turn the dial left or right to adjust the volume to your liking.
For quick remote-control of volume below the master setting—like muting—use the CAB-1
numeric keypad’s volume control. Pressing AUX1 and 4 on the keypad lowers overall RailSounds out-
put.
These settings will be lost when you
assign a new locomotive ID number.

Due to the inevitable derailments, static, and the nature of electricity, it is possible that your Command reverse unit could someday lose its setup program.
The symptoms of this condition would be unresponsiveness in Command mode. This can be easily
remedied by “reprogramming” your Command reverse unit using the following steps.
Maintaining your locomotive’s handrail antenna
Your locomotive handrails are more than just model grab irons—they’re the Command control unit’s antenna for receiving Command Base digital communications. Please handle the loco-
motive carefully to avoid handrail damage. To ensure optimum reception, both handrails are insu-
lated from the die-cast shell. If your locomotive experiences difficulty receiving Base communications,
check the handrail ends in the cab and pilot for the presence of insulating material. Ensure that each
insulator is present and enjoys a proper fit. Finally, prevent the handrails from touching any part of
the die-cast locomotive cab.

Help your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it properly.
We recommend you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (part no. 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 wheels, contact rollers, or your
track.
You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the parts
indicated in the illustration. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and always
lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage. Also, lightly lubricate the locomotive side
rods, drive rods, linkage, front and rear truck pivot points, and tender wheel bearings after each 25
hours of operation.

Your locomotive is illuminated by four lamps. One is located in the headlight housing mounted on the boiler front. A lamp illuminates the interior of the cab. Two red lights (1 assembly) show
through the ash pan grating and shine brighter when the speed of the locomotive increases. During
the course of normal operations, they may require replacement.
Removing the three cab screws as show on page 16 will allow access to the inside of the cab and the
expired lamps. But, due to the close fit of many components and the inter-connected wiring, we rec-
ommend that you take your locomotive to your Authorized Lionel Service Center for any required
lamp replacement.

Adding fluid to your locomotive smoke generator
Your locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke during operation.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function.
Pierce the fluid tube’s end with a pin, then add 8 to 10 drops of fluid directly into the smoke stack.
Smoke production will commence momentarily, faster if you run your locomotive at speed. When
smoke production wanes, add more fluid (8 to 10 drops).
In Command Control, when the locomotive is first placed on the track and powered up, the smoke
generator will be in a default “OFF” position. Using any function key on your CAB-1 remote will turn
the smoke generator on. Turning off the sound (AUX1-5) or resetting the engine (AUX1-0) will return
the smoke unit to the initial “OFF” position. Always keep a small amount of smoke fluid in the locomo-
tive smoke generator; the generator’s element can become damaged if operated without fluid. Smoke
production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy load or long consist.
Your locomotive is equipped with Tire-Traction. This means that two of the drive wheels are fitted with rubber traction tires to enhance tractive effort so your locomotive can pull many cars at
once.
Lionel has provided extra traction tires to replace the installed traction tires if they wear out.
Simply unscrew the drive rod nut from the wheel using a 3/16” nut driver, slip off the old traction tire
and remove it from under the drive rod. Place the traction tire on the wheel and re-tighten the drive
rod nut. You’re now ready to pull that long freight back to the yard.
Tire-Traction™
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Note! Always keep smoke fluid in your locomotive smoke generator. If not, turn it off when smoke
is not desired using the switch shown on page 5 or the AUX1-8 command if you are run-
ning in Command mode. Using Smoke Boost with depleted fluid can damage the genera-
tor’s element.
