Congratulations!
Congratulations on your purchase of
Lionel’s Pennsylvania Tender. You
now have the option of running your
Century Club S-2 Stea Turbine engine
with either the original 1946 Lionel
Lines version of the tender which ca e
with your engine, or this Pennsylvania
style tender which was introduced
with the 1948 671Turbine. While the
size of this tender is true to the 1948
version, uch else is new, starting with
all new die cast tooling for the tender
body and fra e in order to provide the
finest surface finish. We have added
separate etal ladder and handrail
details. We have used the latest ver-
sions of our six wheel trucks and added
a die cast water scoop. Your tender has
directional lighting as well as two
green arkers that glow when the
engine is in reverse. And of course, you
have Lionel’s uncouple anywhere
ElectroCoupler on the back of the ten-
der as well as newly ixed Railsounds
recordings and TowerCo announce-
ent when used in conjunction with
your Co and Equipped S-2 Turbine
Engine. The gold printed indicia on the
back of the tender shows that this is a
genuine Century Club product. Enjoy
odel railroading at its finest with
Lionel Trains.

• Your S-2 and Tender are designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternat-
ing current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-co patible alternating-
current transfor ers are suitable; we reco end the TrainMaster
Co and odel railroad control syste .
• DO NOT POWER W TH D RECT CURRENT (DC). Da age to sensitive
electronic co ponents ay occur.
• When you first power up your track, the S-2 will wait between 3
and 8 seconds as it “listens” for digital language fro the
TrainMaster Co and Base (available separately). When it’s
deter ined that it’s on a conventional (nonCo and) railroad,
the S-2’s headlight will illu inate and Railsounds will fire up. At
this point, the S-2 is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the S-2
on your railroad for the first ti e. Thereafter, it starts in forward
after every three-second power interrupt.)
Note!

• Get your S-2 and tender moving. Press the DIR button on your
CAB-1 re ote or Lionel transfor er. This sequences the Liontech
Co and reverse unit (LCRU2) to the next operating state.
• Adjust track voltage until your S-2 oves at your desired speed.

Using your tender’s Electrocoupler in the non-Command environment
To use your tender’s Electrocoupler
in the non-Co and environ ent,
you ust first couple a piece of rolling
stock equipped with Lionel agnetic
couplers directly to your tender’s rear
ElectroCoupler. The agnetic coupler
on the rolling stock will then react to the
agnetic field generated by a Lionel
re ote-control track section (available
separately). Place your rolling stock’s
coupler “trigger disc” over the central
coil of a re ote-control track section
and press uncouple on the controller.
The agnetic field pulls the disc down-
ward, and the coupler opens.
Your tender’s Electrocoupler will NOT open manually
or by using a remote-control track section
Magnetic coupler on the rolling stock cou-
pled to the rear of your S-2 tender
Note!
Re ote-control track section
Your Lionel tender is equipped with
a rear Electrocoupler that responds
to the COUPLER R (rear) button on your
CAB-1 re ote when operated in the
Train aster Co and environ ent.
Si ply press R button on your CAB-1
re ote, and the coupler opens.
Your tender’s
Electrocoupler is NOT
designed to be opened
manually.

Although Railsounds is
powered by track voltage, the
battery is required for uninter-
rupted operation and shut-
down sequences. Use only
alkaline batteries.
Note!
Your Railsounds system—the basics
Lionel Railsounds is the ost realis-
tic odel railroad sound syste in
the world. Your Pennsylvania Tender
features digital sa ples fro real-life
stea loco otives for the ultimate in
realis .
Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery in the tender. This ensures interrup-
tion free operation of Railsounds. The
battery is located within the tender and
to access it you will need to re ove the
tender body fro the fra e. Begin by
turning the tender over and re oving
one screw fro each corner of the fra e.
Turn the tender over and re ove the
tender body fro the fra e asse bly.
Snap the battery clip onto the battery
and place it into the rear of the tender
where the built in retainer will hold it in
place. Place the tender body back over
the fra e asse bly, aking sure that
none of the wires are pinched between
the fra e and the body. Turn the tender
back over and secure together with the
four previously re oved screws.
When you first apply track power, the
tenders Railsounds syste produces
sounds of the loco otive at rest. As the
tender oves, turbine “woosh” begins,
increasing with the loco otive’s speed.
To silence the turbine “woosh” (whis-
tle/bell are unaffected), slide the
Railsounds switch, located on the bot-
to of the tender, to the OFF position
be ore powering up the locomotive. The
whistle is activated by using the lever or
button on your transfor er or CAB-1.
The volu e control knob to raise or
lower the level of sound is located on the
botto of the tender.

S-2's tender.
Transformer operations
Discontinue loco otive
power or 10 seconds before
changing the Railsounds
ON/OFF switch position.
Note!
If Railsounds “drops out”
during track power inter-
rupts (direction change),
replace the battery.
