Transformer operations

Running your Lionel Commodore Vanderbilt with a Lionel transformer

Place your Commodore on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O gauge track.

• Note the pull of Magne-Traction®between your Commodore and the steel

track. Magnetized wheels and axles increase pulling power (more than 25 cars

on straight and level track) and keep your Commodore on track while pass-

ing swiftly through curves. Your Commodore will negotiate O-42 and larger

curves. Note also the traction-enhancing tire installed on the center drivers

that gives your Commodore extra driver-

railhead grip. After extensive use, this tire

may require replacement. See your local

authorized Lionel Service Center for

expert tire-replacement service.

• With track power OFF, connect the loco-

motive tether between the engine and

tender. The six-pin tender plug connects

with the six-pin plug on the locomotive.

eed any excess tether into the engine cab. Connect the drawbar between

locomotive and tender.

Power up your Commodore with your transformer.

• Your Commodore is designed to operate on -1 volts alternating current.

Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transform-

ers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model rail-

road control system.

• DO NOT POWER YOUR COMMODORE WITH DIRECT CURRENT (DC). Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the Commodore will wait between 3

and seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster

Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a con-

ventional (nonCommand) railroad, the Commodore’s headlight will illumi-

nate and Railsounds will fire up. At this point, the Commodore is in neutral.

(This occurs when placing the Commodore on your railroad for the first time.

Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power interrupt.)

Note!

Move ‘em out!

• Get your Commodore moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1

remote or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Liontech Command

reverse unit (LCRU2) to the next operating state.

• Adjust track voltage until your Commodore moves at your desired speed.

o select a single operational state for

your Lionel Commodore (example:

forward only), you can deactivate the

LCRU2’s sequencing function with the

reverse unit control switch, located

beneath the cab overhang.

Get your locomotive moving in the

desired direction, then slow it down

without stopping. Set the reverse unit

control switch to PROGRAM/LOCK.

The Commodore is now “locked” into

your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-

direction operation, just slide the

reverse unit control switch back to

ORWARD/ RUN.

Locking your Commodore into a single operational state

ORWARD/RUN

PROGRAM/LOCK

Use this setting for

normal operations.

Use this setting to choose

a single operational state

like “forward.”

Transformer operations

Your Commodore’s Railsounds system—the basics

ionel Railsounds is the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the

world. Your Commodore features the

Railsounds

Hudson digi-

tal sound sys-

tem for the

ultimate in real-

ism.

Begin by in-

stalling a 9-volt

alkaline battery in

the tender. This

ensures full-fea-

ture operation of

Railsounds. The

battery compart-

ment is located

be-neath the ten-

der’s removable

coal hatch doors. Connect the 9-volt alkaline

battery to the lead.

Although Railsounds is

the battery is required for unin-

terrupted operation. Use

only alkaline batteries.

When you first apply track power, the

Commodore’s Railsounds system pro-

duces sounds of the locomotive at rest. As

the Commo-

dore moves,

chuffing begins,

increasing with

the locomo-

tive’s speed.

To silence the

steam chuffing

(whistle/bell are

unaffected), slide

the Railsounds

switch, located

beneath the coal

hatch doors, to

the O position

before powering

up the locomotive.

The whistle is activated by using the lever or

button on your transformer or CAB-1.

Discontinue locomotive

power for 10 seconds before

changing the Railsounds

ON/O switch position.

If Railsounds “drops out” dur-

ing track power interrupts

(direction change), replace the

battery.

Install a -volt alkaline battery in your Commodore’s

tender.

Note!

Note! Note!

Volume control dial

Railsounds switch

ith 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

remember—inside your Lionel 777

Commodore are the sounds of the

Railsounds Hudson digital sound sys-

tem. No other electric train can offer

you authentic Hudson sounds. That’s

the power of Lionel.

• Variable chuff rate. Your Commodore’s

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 discontinue. 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 Commodore telling you its

Liontech 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 Commodore. If you’re done with

operations, Railsounds will commence

with an authentic Hudson shutdown

sequence about two seconds after the

air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your Commodore’s Railsounds system

Notes on Railsounds

• Use the volume control dial, located

beneath the tender’s coal hatch doors,

to adjust sound output (see page 5).

• Listen for incidental engine sounds

during Railsounds operation. They’re

automatic and, of course, authentic.

• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed

ensures continuous Hudson sounds, even

during short track-power interrupts.

• Longer track-power interruptions (includ-

ing locomotive derailments) cause Rail-

sounds to shut down after about 7 seconds.

• or even more authentic Railsounds

effects, operate your Commodore in the

TrainMaster Command environment. See

page 8 for details.

TrainMaster Command operations

Your Commodore in the TrainMaster Command environment

ionel TrainMaster Command is the fun

and sophisticated model railroad con-

trol system from Lionel. Your

Commodore features the Liontech

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, YOU NEED A

COMMAND BASE AND A CAB-1 REMOTE.

ind them both at your authorized

Lionel retailer.

Place your Commodore on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible O gauge track.

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.

• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communi-

cations wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel

transformer or the U 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 Commodore 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 communica-

tion, 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 Commodore’s ID#, see page 12.

Move ‘em out!

•Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your

Commodore will respond to your every command. Read on. The fun

is just beginning!

• DynaChuffTM

.Real steam locomotive

chuffing depends on the locomotive’s

load. DynaChuff simulates both labored

and relaxed chuffing sounds. Highball

down the mainline and hear the labored

chuffing of a locomotive battling inertia.

Reduce your throttle setting, and chuffing

relaxes to a more sedate sound, as though

the load placed on the Commodore has

decreased. Experience DynaChuff on

steep grades, at yard crawls, and at speed.

Another Railsounds exclusive.

• Bonus sounds like squealing brakes

with the CAB-1 BRAKE command.

• Incidental sounds you control with

CAB-1 numeric keypad commands, like

steam letoff and steam release effects.
