Quick Start

Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only. Powering

your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 volts AC,

may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.

LEGACY Control operations

For the finest operating experience, your locomotive is fully compatible with the new

LEGACY Control System.

To operate in LEGACY mode, you need a LEGACY Command Base and LEGACY CAB-2

Remote Controller. Both products are offered together in the LEGACY Command Set, 6-14295.

1. Turn off track power and plug in the LEGACY Base.

2. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.

3. Increase track power voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).

4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2

Remote Controller.

5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.

TrainMaster Command Control operations

To operate your locomotive in the Command Control environment, you need a Command

Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-

12868).

1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base.

2. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.

3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).

4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote

Controller.

5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.

Transformer operations

1. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger

track.

2. Power your locomotive at 12-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)

transformer.

3. Wait three to eight seconds until the locomotive’s headlight illuminates

and the LEGACY RailSounds sound system starts up.

4. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTION button on your controller, then

throttle up.

Note!

LEGACY Control System operations

Please note that not all LEGACY products have all the features

mentioned in this section.

This section is a brief overview of the LEGACY Control System. For a more in depth

explanation of the LEGACY Control System features, please see your LEGACY Control

System Operations Manual.

GET READY TO RUN

Get your engine running now by following the instructions in this guide. We'll power up the track,

"address the engine" so it can be controlled by your CAB-2 remote and learn to use the Velocity

Throttle, Whistle, Bell, Brake and Direction commands.

Power Up The Track

Refer to PowerMaster, TPC, or ZW manual for correct method. With your engine on the track and

ready to roll, power-up your track to a constant 18 volts. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on

the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on

the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.

Address Your Engine

First, you must address the engine. This "tells" your CAB-2 which locomotive you want to control.

This is important when you have more than one engine on your layout.

To address an engine:

1. Press ENG

2. Press 1

3. Press Start Up

See reference numbers 1, 2, and 3

Start 'Er Up

Now it is time to start up your engine's sound system.

To start the engine's Railsounds system, press Start on the touch-screen or any action key

(Whistle, Bell, Velocity Throttle, etc.).

Your engine sound system will start up and the Touch-screen Control Panel will appear.

LEGACY Control System operations

THE VELOCITY THROTTLE

The Velocity Throttle (that big red rotary knob in the middle of your Lionel remote) is

used to start your engine moving, slow it down or speed it up. Use it simply by turning it

clockwise (speed up) or counter-clockwise (slow down).

4. Turn the Velocity Throttle clockwise a small amount. Your engine will begin to move.

5. Experiment with the engine’s response to the Velocity Throttle. Turn the Velocity Throttle

clock-wise and counter-clock-wise.

6. Slow and stop your engine by turning the Velocity Throttle counter-clockwise.

See reference numbers 4, 5, and 6

Boost & Brake

Boost and brake give you another way to control the speed of your train. Boost gives your loco a

temporary increase in tractive power, and returns to the previous speed when you release the control,

while the brake command slows you down quicker than the Velocity Throttle alone and holds your

speed at the adjusted level.

9. Experiment with Boost and Brake. Notice how your engine responds to the Multi-Controller.

See reference number 9

LEGACY Control System operations

THE MULTI-CONTROLLER

Direction

The direction of your engine toggles between forward and reverse at the touch of the Multi-

Controller.

7. Press the Multi-Controller once. Your engine's lights will change directions.

8. Turn the Velocity Throttle clockwise a small amount. Your Engine will reverse directions

and travel in the opposite direction.

See reference numbers 7, and 8

LEGACY Control System operations

THE TRAIN BRAKE SLIDER

Train Brake is used to slow down and limit the top speed of your train by adding a load.

The more the Train Brake is applied by pulling the Train Brake Slider down, the more

laboring is heard from the engine. Eventually Train Brake application will slow down the train

and it is even possible to stop a train by pulling the Train Brake Slider all the way down. A

tremendous amount of laboring can be heard whenever you apply the Train Brake in a large

amount.

10. Experiment with the Train Brake. Try a small amount of the Train Brake when your

engine is moving down the rails at a medium speed. Notice the effect the Train Brake has

on sound and speed. Try adding more Train brake and notice that the Train Brake can

limit the top speed available to your engine.

Try adding even more Train Brake and notice that the Engine sounds like it is working

harder and harder as the Train Brake is applied more.

See reference number 10

LEGACY Control System operations

THE WARNING SOUND CONTROLLER

Warning sounds are an important part of Lionel Railroading. Your Lionel Legacy Control

System equipped engines have a real-time variable "quilling" whistle and horn, while

Lionel TMCC engines do not have this feature.

11. Blow the Horn/Whistle by pulling down on the Warning Sound Controller.

12. Try pulling down the Warning Sound Controller various amounts and listen. Notice the

difference in intensity of the Whistle or Horn.

13. Push the Warning Sound Controller up once and quickly release. Notice that the bell rings

once.

14. Push the Warning Sound Controller up and hold it for 1.5 seconds. Notice that the Bell is

sounding continuously.

15. Push the Warning Sound Controller up once. Notice that the continuous Bell stops.

16. Experiment with ringing the Bell in your own rhythm or continuously, depending on how

you push the Warning Sound Controller
