Congratulations on your purchase of the Lionel die-cast UP-style Auxiliary Water Tender with directional lighting and Command-Controlled coil coupler.
Congratulations!

Your auxiliary tender is equipped with a magnetic coupler at the front of the ten-
der which can be operated using a Lionel
remote-control track section, available sepa-
rately. Additionally, by coupling a piece of
rolling stock with a magnetic coupler to the
tender’s rear ElectroCoupler, you can also
uncouple at the rear of the tender by using
the remote control track section. Place the
“disc” of the tender’s front coupler or the
“disc” of the rolling stock’s coupler over the
center coil of the remote control track section
and press UNCOUPLE on the controller. The
magnetic field pulls the disc downward and
the coupler opens.
The ElectroCoupler will NOT open
manually or by using a remote-
control track section.

Operating the auxiliary tender with a locomotive in a ‘lash-up’
For more realism and ease of control, oper- ate your tender in a ‘lash-up’ with one or
more locomotives. A simple example follows:
Build train #7 with your locomotive ENG 1, and
your auxiliary tender, ENG 2.
Place engine and auxiliary tender on track
and couple together.
The end of the auxiliary tender
with the coil coupler is considered
to be the REAR of the tender. All commands
are given using the CAB-1 remote.
Press (this is for TRAIN)
Press (this is to identify this consist as
train number seven)
Press (this is the locomotive’s ID number)
Press (this is for FRONT engine)
Press (this sets the commands)
Horn/Whistle should blow or light flicker
depending on the locomotive.
Press
Press
Press (this is the auxiliary tender ID
number)
Press (this is to designate the tender as
the REAR unit)
Press
You’re now ready to go. Press TR 7 and turn up
the dial on the CAB-1 for power. The engine
should move forward and the front light in the
tender should be on. Pressing DIR will change
the direction of the lash-up and the rear tender
light will be on. Pressing the R coupler button-
will open the coupler on the rear of the auxil-
iary tender.
You may still control each unit indi-
vidually. Whenever a locomotive is
in a lash-up, you can still individually address
it (using its ENG ID #) to control lighting and
operate the couplers.
For more information on TrainMaster
Command Control and advanced operating
techniques, see your individual locomotive
instruction booklet or your Lionel TrainMaster
owner’s manual.

Pressing DIR will now cycle the directional
lighting from the front light to the rear light.
Pressing the R coupler button will open the

Your auxiliary tender remembers its ID#
forever; change it any time with these
steps.
Example As your fleet of Command-
equipped Lionels grows, give
each unit its own ID#. Choose from
any number between 1 and 99. Slide
the PROGRAM/RUN switch to
PROGRAM. Plug-in the Command
Base and place the locomotive or
auxilliary tender on track. Then,
power up.
Using CAB-1, press ENG, the ID#,
then press the SET button located
under CAB-1’s removable panel. See
the light flash; that’s your signal
that the programming has been
accepted. Now slide the switch to
RUN.
We recommend that you choose an easy-to-
remember ID# for your locomotives. Some
possibilities are part of the road number,
your age, or any two-digit number that is
not used by another locomotive. If you like,
write the number on a small piece of tape
and put this on the bottom of the frame to
aid in remembering.

Maintaining the handrail antenna
The handrails are more than just model grab irons—they’re the antenna for
receiving Command Base digital communi-
cations. Please handle carefully to avoid
handrail damage. To ensure optimum
reception, both handrails are insulated from
the die-cast shell. If you experience difficulty
receiving Base communications, check the
handrail ends in the body for the presence of
insulating material. Ensure that each insula-
tor is present and enjoys a proper fit. Finally,
prevent the handrails from touching any part
of the die-cast body.

Your auxiliary tender is illuminated by one lamp, located at the rear of the ten-
der. Removing the four screws shown in the
illustration will allow access to the interior of
the tender and the expired lamp. However,
since it is then necessary to remove the cir-
cuit boards from their mountings, we recom-
mend that you take your tender to your
Lionel Service Center for any required lamp
replacement.
