3Move ‘em out!
Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your Lionel
transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit to the next operating state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To
increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the
locomotive, turn-off track power.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O-42 or larger track.

2Power 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
transformers are suitable.
Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
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 has determined that it’s
on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive’s headlight will
illuminate and the RailSounds sound system will fire up. At this point, the
locomotive is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad
for the first time. Thereafter, it will start in forward following every five-second
power interruption.)

Caution!
Note!

To select a single operational state for your Lionel locomotive (for example, forward only), you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function with the Command reverse
unit switch.
Get your locomotive moving in the desired direction, then slow it down without stopping.
Set the Command reverse unit switch to PGM. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switch.
The locomotive is now “locked” into your chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction operation, just slide the Command reverse unit
switch back to RUN.
Your locomotive’s reverse unit will “reset” to forward after any power interruption
lasting five seconds or longer, regardless of the original locked-out direction.

Using your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment
To uncouple rolling stock from your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the non-Command environment, you must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel magnetic
couplers coupled directly to your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers. The magnetic coupler on the
rolling stock will then react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control Track
section (available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge; 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge;
6-12020 for FastTrack layouts). Place your rolling stock’s coupler “trigger disc” over the
central coil of a Remote-Control Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the controller. As
illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the coupler opens.
See page 14 to learn how to release the couplers in Command Control.
Your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers will NOT open manually or by using a Remote-
Control Track section.

Your locomotive’s RailSounds sound system—the basics
The Lionel RailSounds sound system is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. Your locomotive features digital samples from real-life diesel locomotives for
the ultimate in realism.
You may choose to install a nine-volt alkaline battery in your locomotive. This ensures
interruption-free operation of the RailSounds sound system. As illustrated in Figure 3, the
battery harness is located inside the body. Remove the screws from the locations shown in
Figure 5 on page 21, then lift the body off the frame. Snap the battery harness onto the battery,
then slide the battery into the holder. Replace the body, securing it with the body screws.
When you first apply track power, the locomotive’s RailSounds sound system produces
sounds of the locomotive at rest. As the locomotive moves, the RPM’s increase with the
locomotive’s speed.
To silence the diesel roar (the horn and bell remain unaffected), slide the RailSounds switch
on the underside of the locomotive to NO SND (refer to Figure 1 on page 5) before powering
up the locomotive. Use the volume control knob located on the underside of the locomotive to
adjust the volume. Refer to Figure 5 on page 21.
Please remove the protective cover from the battery harness.
Although the RailSounds sound system is powered by track voltage, the battery
is required for uninterrupted operation and the shutdown sequence. Use only
alkaline batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for ten seconds before changing the RailSounds
sound system (SND/NO SND) switch position.
If the RailSounds sound system “drops out” during track power interruptions
(for example, during a direction change), replace the battery.

RailSounds operations
With the RailSounds sound system, 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.
• Four diesel-roar levels. Your locomotive’s speed automatically determines the level of
diesel RPM roar. If you prefer, you may set the level to idle, half throttle, three quarters, or
full-speed output using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds sound system
exclusive.
•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Controller or transformer to begin
the effect, again to discontinue.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait three to five seconds, and
listen for the air-release sound—that’s the locomotive telling you that its Lionel
Command reverse unit has just reset to forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model railroad sound system shuts down like the
RailSounds sound system. Turn off track power, and after the air-release reset sound, you
have two seconds to restart your locomotive. If you’re done with operations, the RailSounds
sound system will commence with a realistic diesel shutdown sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs. (Battery installation required.)

RailSounds operations
Notes on the RailSounds sound system
• Turn the volume knob clockwise or counter-clockwise in the location shown in Figure 5 on
page 21 to adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during RailSounds sound system operation.
They’re automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The nine-volt alkaline battery you installed ensures continuous locomotive diesel sounds.
• Longer track-power interruptions (including locomotive derailments) cause the
RailSounds sound system to shut down after about seven seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds sound system effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment. See pages 13-16 for more information.

Odyssey System operations
Odyssey System conventional (transformer) operation
The Odyssey System
The Odyssey System is a “cruise control” for your engine. Once the speed is set (see below), your engine will maintain a constant speed, no matter what loads the locomotive pulls or
what grades you have on your layout. This digitally-controlled system also allows for
extremely slow movement that will amaze any “scale” enthusiast.
Setting Speed Control
1. Slide the Odyssey System switch to the ON position. Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for the
location of the switch.
2. Run the engine at the desired speed for approximately five seconds.
3. Press and hold the horn button.
4. While holding the horn button, increase the track voltage by at least three volts (at
least a quarter turn).
5. At this point, speed control is set.
The speed of the locomotive will increase slightly before returning to the set speed.
Turning Off Speed Control:
1. While the engine is in neutral, turn your controller up to the maximum power (no
more than 19 volts), wait one second, then press and hold the horn button.
2. While holding the horn button, slowly reduce track voltage to one-fourth of full power.
3. Release the horn button.
4. Cycle the engine to forward or reverse. The engine is now out of speed control mode.
Sliding the Odyssey System switch to the OFF position will disable the Odyssey
System. We recommend that you keep the Odyssey System switch in the OFF position
unless you want to activate the locomotive’s speed control.
In conventional operation, the smoke unit and lights are connected directly to
track power. Do not exceed 14-16 volts for extended periods. Doing so will cause
damage to the locomotive.
Caution!

TrainMaster Command operations
The Command Control environment
TrainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. TrainMaster Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-
equipped locomotives on the same track, at the same time.
To operate in Command mode, you need a Command Base (6-12911) and a
CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Find them both at your authorized Lionel retailer.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or
Lionel-compatible O-42 or larger track.
2
2Address your locomotive using your CAB-1 Remote
Controller.
• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
This command is sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base,
which then translates your command into digital code. That code is sent around
your railroad’s outside rails in the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-
equipped Lionel locomotives listen to this digital communication, but they do
not respond until they hear their individual ID number—in this case, “1.”
• The digital language of TrainMaster Command Control—and not
track power—controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionel
engines. 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 locomotives come factory-programmed with an ID#
of “1.” To change the ID# of your locomotive, see page 17.

• Throttle up or press any command button on the CAB-1 Remote
Controller. Your locomotive will respond to your every command.

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing on the track.
• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is plugged-in 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 (no more
than 19 volts). On PowerMasters, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD.

Tuning your locomotive’s performance
MOMENTUM
TrainMaster Command Control’s momentum feature simulates the labored performance of a
locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press L,M,orH(located under the CAB-1 Remote
Controller’s removable panel) for light, medium, or heavy momentum. The locomotive’s
Command reverse unit remembers this setting until you change it. For quick locomotive
response, choose L.
BRAKING AND BOOSTING
There’s more to starting and stopping than just turning the CAB-1 Remote Controller
throttle. Use the BOOST and BRAKE command buttons—they give you incremental control
of speed and are the superior way to handle grades, gradual stops-and-starts, and more. Plus,
using BRAKE in the Command environment gives you a bonus RailSounds sound system
effect—the ultra-realistic sound of squealing brakes.
SOUND QUALITY
To achieve your preferred RailSounds sound system master volume level, we recommend
that you adjust your locomotive volume control knob (see Figure 5 on page 21 for the
location). Turn the knob left or right to reach the desired volume level.
For quick remote-control of volume below the master setting—for example, muting—use
the CAB-1 Remote Controller numeric keypad’s volume control. Press AUX1 and then 4on
the numeric keypad to lower the overall RailSounds sound system output.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press SET, and the headlight will flash. Get your locomotive moving to the maximum speed
you want it to run, then press BOOST. Use this to keep your locomotive from derailing at
excessive speeds. Turn off the high voltage setting by pressing SET, then BOOST, holding
each for one second.
STALL
Make your locomotive feel more responsive by setting a “stall,” or minimum, voltage. Address
your locomotive by pressing ENG and entering the ID#, then press SET. Use the throttle to get
your locomotive moving at your desired minimum speed, and then press SET again. The
locomotive will stop. The next time you throttle up, the locomotive will start at the speed you
set. The Command reverse unit remembers the stall setting until you change it. To clear the
stall setting, press SET twice, holding it for one second each time.
These settings will be lost when you assign a new engine ID number.

your age, or any two digit number that is not
used by another engine. Write the number on a
small piece of tape and put this on the bottom
of the fuel tank to aid in remembering.
As your fleet of Command-equipped Lionel locomotives grows, you’ll want
to give your locomotive a more
individualized number. Choose from any
between 1 and 99. To make things easy, use
a portion of your locomotive’s cab number.
Set the locomotive’s Command reverse
unit switch to PGM (see Figure 1 on
page 5). Plug in the Command Base and
place the locomotive on track, then power
up. Using your CAB-1 Remote Controller,

Reprogramming the Command reverse unit to restore features
Due to the inevitable derailments and static, it is possible that your Command reverse unit could someday lose its setup program. The symptom of this condition would be
unresponsiveness in Command mode. This can be easily remedied by “reprogramming” your
Command reverse unit using the following steps.
STEP 1: Move the switch on your locomotive from RUN to PGM.
STEP 2: Plug in your Command Base.
STEP 3: Place the locomotive on track, then turn on power to your track.
STEP 4: Press ENG then input the locomotive’s ID#. Press SET.
STEP 5: Press ENG, the ID#, AUX1, then press 8 for this particular locomotive.
STEP 6: Turn off power to your track and wait ten seconds.
STEP 7: Remove the locomotive from your track, and move the switch from PGM to RUN.
STEP 8: Place the locomotive back on track, then turn power on to the track.
STEP 9: Press ENG and the ID#, then operate as normal.

TrainMaster Command operations
TrainMaster Command Control allows you to couple your Command Control equipped locomotives together, forming a multiple unit lash-up. Just like with the real railroads,
lash-ups allow you to pull longer trains and climb up steeper grades. You will find that the
lighting operates prototypically—the lead unit's headlight and interior lights are illuminated
when the train is in forward, and the rear unit's headlight and interior lights are illuminated
when the train is in reverse. For more information, refer to your TrainMaster Command
Control Manual.
To build a lash-up, assign a unique engine (ENG) ID# to each unit. Arrange the units on
the track and couple them together. The Command reverse unit switches must be set to
RUN/FORWARD.
If you press a wrong button, start over with that particular unit; the assignment isn’t
saved until you press SET on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
Start with the lead unit.
1. On your CAB-1 Remote Controller, press TR, then enter your lash-up ID# (1-9).
No other track or lash-up should be assigned that ID#.
2. Enter the lead unit’s unique ID#.
3. Press F.
4. Press SET beneath the front panel on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
Add the middle units, one at a time
1. On your CAB-1 Remote Controller, press TR, then enter your lash-up ID# (1-9).
2. Enter the unique ID# of one of the middle units.
3. Press SET beneath the front panel on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
4. Repeat these steps for any other unit.
Complete the lash-up by adding the rear unit.
1. On your CAB-1 Remote Controller, press TR, then enter your lash-up ID# (1-9).
2. Enter the last unit’s unique ID#, then press R.
3. Press the DIRECTION button if the unit is facing backward.
4. Press SET beneath the front panel on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
If any locomotive in the lash-up faces backwards, press DIR before SET.
You are now ready to operate your locomotives as a lash-up. Simply press TR and enter the
lash-up ID#, then use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to operate your locomotives. To operate
an individual unit within the lash-up, press ENG and enter the ID# for that unit.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Figure 4. Duct location
Adding fluid to your locomotive’s 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. A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with your locomotive. Press down and
unscrew the cap, then add 10-15 drops of fluid into the stack as illustrated in Figure 4. Smoke
production will commence momentarily, faster if you run your locomotive at speed. When
smoke production decreases, add more fluid (four to eight drops).
If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke, locate the switch on the bottom of
the engine under the cab marked SMK/NO SMK (see Figure 1 on page 5 for the location).
Move the switch to NO SMK and your locomotive will stop smoking.
When the smoke unit is on, always keep a small amount of smoke fluid in the locomo-
tive’s 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.
Never operate the smoke unit when dry. This will cause the smoke unit to
overheat and may damage your engine.
Caution!
Add fluid here
