Creating your layout
Connect your FasTrack terminal section to the CW-80 Transformer. Use the wires that
are already attached to the terminal section. Make sure that all connections are secure.
Loose connections can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch
the terminals or track connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as
lichen or ground foam near the terminals.

5.PlugtheCW-80Transformerintoyourwalloutlet(120volts).
As your layout expands, you may also make power connections with the stripped ends
of wires, placing no more than two wires on each terminal. For best performance on large
layouts, it is recommended that you use 16-gauge wire to connect your CW-80 Transformer to
the track. On larger layouts where several track connections are required, the use of separate
junctions/terminal strips (available at your local electronics store) is recommended to
prevent voltage drops.
To prevent the excessive build up of heat, be sure to select the proper wire gauge
for your layout. Follow these guidelines:
• Trackconnectionsmustbemadewith18-gaugewireorheavier.Larger
layouts require a minimum of 16-gauge wire.
• Use24-gaugewireonlywhenconnectingsingleaccessoriesthatrequirelower
current.
• Whenwiringmultipleaccessories(twoormore)oraccessoriesthatrequire
higher current, be sure to use 18- to 16-gauge wire.
Caution!
Joining the FasTrack track sections
FasTrack track sections join together easily. With interlocking roadbed sections and large
rail tabs, the track fits together securely so you always get good electrical contact. Take a
look at Figure 3 to see how to join the track sections.

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Y
our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke
during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 8 on
page 14 for the location of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function.
A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap. Pierce the
tip on the nozzle. Add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke pro-
duction commences momentarily. It will start faster if you run your locomotive at higher speeds.
When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops). An idle locomotive will
not smoke.
Smoke production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy
load or a long consist.
Caution! When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount
of smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke generator; the generator’s element
can become damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true
if your locomotive sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke
fluid in the generator.
If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add
smoke fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.

Operating your trains with the CW-80 Transformer
You’re clear for departure! Move the throttle control handle forward to increase power to
the track. The farther forward you push the handle, the faster your train will go.
Quickly shutting off or throwing the throttle all the way forward will not result in
an instant change in track voltage.
When operating in the conventional (non-Command) environment, remember that the great-
er the load on the engine (adding more cars for the engine to pull, for example), the farther
forward the handle must be pushed before it will operate the locomotive.
Note!
Running your train
Coupling
When coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left
in Figure 6. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward
each other until they lock together.
Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.
Lock release

Note!
Refer to Figure 7 on page 13 for the location of the Transformer features listed in this section.
THROTTLE
Push the throttle forward to increase track power. The markings on the throttle approxi-
mate the percentage of full power. For more realism, push the throttle slowly to gradually
increase or decrease the speed of the locomotive. Slowing or stopping the locomotive with the
throttleinsteadoftheDIRECTIONbuttonwillallowyoutocontinueinthesamedirection
when you increase the throttle again. To achieve this effect, reduce the throttle to the point
that the locomotive stops moving, but don’t completely turn off the throttle. That way, your
train won’t sequence into neutral.

WHISTLE
The WHISTLE button will activate your locomotive’s whistle or horn. The sound will con-
tinue until the button is released. No external sound activation buttons are needed.
Your locomotive features a mechanical whistle in the tender.
BELL
The BELL button will activate the bell sounds on locomotives equipped with this feature. Press
and hold the BELL button for two to three seconds to begin the sounds; press and hold the button
again to turn off the ringing.

POWER-ON INDICATOR
The green light will remain on during normal operation. The green light will begin to
flash if you exceed the power limit of the Transformer. The unit will allow you to momentarily
exceed the power limit, but power will be gradually reduced until the problem is corrected.
The benefit is that the Transformer will not instantly turn off.

Reverse unit procedure
The electronic reverse unit inside your Lionel locomotive acts like the transmission in a car. When
you apply power to the track, the locomotive moves in the direction specified by the reverse
unit—or it sits in neutral, awaiting another power interruption. Power interruptions are the signal
that tells the reverse unit to sequence to the next operational state.
To interrupt power and sequence the locomotive’s reverse unit, press the direction control button
or briefly bring the throttle lever all the way back to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 9 for the loca-
tion of these controls. The reverse unit alternates between three states: forward, neutral, and reverse.
Also, the locomotive can be “locked” into a certain mode of operation by throwing the reverse
unit switch located on the underside of the frame (see Figure 8). When the switch is thrown to the
OFF (PROG) position (towards the rear of the locomotive), the locomotive will be locked in the
next mode of operation in the sequence. To lock your locomotive into a specific operational state,
sequence the locomotive into the desired state and reduce track power without completely powering
downthelocomotive,thenthrowtheswitchtotheOFFposition.TheDIRECTIONbuttonwillthen
have no affect on the direction of the locomotive. If you would like to resume forward-neutral-
reverse operation, simply throw the reverse unit switch back to the ON (RUN) position.
Additionally, this reverse unit has a “power-up reset” feature. If the locomotive sits without power
for a short period of time, the reverse unit will automatically reset and start in the forward direction
when the transformer is turned on or “powered up,” regardless of the reverse unit switch position. If
the switch is in the OFF position, the locomotive will start in the forward direction and be “locked”
there.

CW-80 Transformer operation
Powering your layout with the CW-80 Transformer
Your CW-80 Transformer provides a total output of five amps. The track outputs will deliver
all of this power to the track when no accessories are connected to the Transformer. Keep
in mind that connected accessories borrow some of this power. For example, if the accesso-
ries require two amps of the total five-amp capacity of the Transformer, you have three amps
available for track power. This built-in flexibility will provide power for virtually any small- to
medium-sized railroad. Also, available voltage depends on how much load is on the two out-
puts. Generally, track voltage and accessory voltage are 0-18 volts (AC) each.
This Transformer is capable of operating trains up to and including dual-motored AC
locomotives. To operate at this level of track power, it may be necessary to disconnect any
accessories. You may also attempt to lower the accessory voltage settings. Refer to the “Setting
the accessory output” section on page 16.
You may momentarily approach or exceed the five-amp limit of the CW-80 Transformer
when pulling illuminated cars, fighting over grades with heavy loads, or operating acces-
sories. When you reach five amps, the green light on the Transformer will begin to flash. This
indicates that the Transformer is in “fold-back mode.” In fold-back mode, the Transformer
is automatically reducing, or folding back, power. This gradual reduction in power provides
interruption-free operation while you bring the amperage back down to a safe level.

Lubricating your locomotive
H
elp your steam locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintain-
ing it properly.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (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’s wheels, contact roll-
ers, or your track.
You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on
the parts indicated in Figure 10. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and
always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.

Lionel offers accessories of all shapes and sizes — from crossing signals to coal and lumber
loaders — available at your authorized Lionel dealer. When you are ready to operate your new
accessory, the CW-80 Transformer allows you to choose how much power your accessory receives
with programmable accessory output. The ability to control the voltage allows you to set the speed of
your accessory motors and the intensity of your lights. Accessories connected to the accessory output
terminals receive constant voltage whenever the transformer is plugged in, regardless of the throttle
position. Follow these steps to set the voltage.
The accessory output voltage was set to 12 volts at the factory.

Advanced connections: powering two isolated blocks with two
transformers
As you expand your layout, you may decide to create
two isolated blocks of track. Trains in each block
are controlled by separate transformers.
Before you operate your trains on this type of layout,
be sure that your transformers are in phase. Operating
your trains on a layout with two transformers that are
out of phase may cause damage to the locomotive’s sen-
sitive electronic components.
To be certain that your transformers are in phase, use
a small 18-volt lamp with leads (available at your local
electronics supply store) to perform a quick test. Refer
to Figure 14.
1. Attach one lamp wire to the center rail in one block.
2. Attach the second lamp wire to the center rail in the other block.
3. Power up both blocks of track. Both transformers should be set to full power.
4. See if the lamp illuminates.
Ifthelampilluminatesbrightly,yourtransformersarenotinphase.Donotoperateyour
trains on the layout until you change the wiring. If the lamp does not illuminate, your trans-
formers are in phase and should not cause problems.
To bring your transformers into phase, simply swap the track wires at the A and U terminals
on one of the transformers. If you are using an older transformer that lacks a polarized
plug, you may reverse the plug at the outlet so that the prongs are inserted into the opposite
openings. Repeat the procedure described above, and you should find that the lamp does not
illuminate.
This will also reverse the operation of the BELL and WHISTLE buttons on the
transformer with the switched wires.

Troubleshooting
No lights or operation
Be sure that the CW-80 Transformer is plugged in and the wires are connected.
Train runs, but WHISTLE, BELL, and DIRECTION buttons do not work
Check track connections. The track must be connected to the “A” and “U” terminals on the
Transformer.
No change when DIRECTION button is pressed
Be sure that your locomotive’s reverse unit switch is ON.
Accessory operation is intermittent or absent
Check for loose, shorted, or improper connections. Also, the accessory voltage may have been
set too low for the accessory; refer to page 16 and reset the voltage to a higher level.
Locomotive runs slowly or lights dim at the far end of the track
On larger layouts, additional track resistance may cause reduced track voltage as the trains
move away from the power terminal section. Install additional FasTrack terminal sections
around your layout and connect them to your Transformer to distribute power.
Green light begins to flash
The power limit of the Transformer has been exceeded. The unit will gradually reduce power
until the problem is corrected.
