3Move ‘em out!

Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your

transformer. This sequences the 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.

See page 4 for information on locking your locomotive into a single

operational state.

Place your locomotive on American Flyer or S gauge

two-rail track.

The curves must have a radius of at least 20”.

2Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 6-18 volts alternating

current. Virtually all American Flyer or Lionel alternating-current transformers

are suitable.

Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC).

Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur.

Caution!

Note!

RS SS

ON OFF

To select a single operational state for your locomotive (for example, forward only), you

can deactivate the reverse unit’s sequencing function with the DIRECTION CONTROL

switch.

Get your locomotive moving in the desired direction, then slow it down without stopping.

Set the DIRECTION CONTROL switch to OFF. 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 switch back to ON.

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.

Coupler operation

Push up on the uncoupling weight located directly under the coupler to open the coupler.

Refer to Figure 2. To couple two cars together, place them on the track with at least one of

the couplers open, then slide them together. The couplers will close automatically.

Operating the TrainSounds sound system

The TrainSounds sound system was designed to operate at approximately 6 to 18 volts (AC)

Horn

Press the WHISTLE/HORN button on your transformer to sound the horn. The sound will

play for as long as you hold the button. If your transformer is not equipped with this button,

we recommend that you install a 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button (included with this

locomotive) as discussed on page 8.

Transformers produced by other manufacturers may not be capable of activating

this feature. We recommend using a Lionel 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button

(included with this locomotive) if the HORN button on your transformer does not

work.

Bell

Press the BELL button on your transformer to activate the bell sound. Press BELL again to

discontinue the sound. If your transformer is not equipped with this button, we recommend

that you install a 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button (available separately) as discussed

on page 8.

Transformers produced by other manufacturers may not be capable of activating

this feature. We recommend using a Lionel 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button

(included with this locomotive) if the BELL button on your transformer does not

work.

Silencing all sounds

To silence all sounds, slide the sound RS/SS switch on the underside of the car to the SS

position. Refer to Figure 1 on page 4 for the location of the switch.

Adjusting the volume

Use the volume control knob on the underside of the locomotive to adjust the volume.

Swivel the truck to access the knob. Use a flat bladed screwdriver to rotate the volume

control knob. Refer to Figure 3.

Installing a Lionel Sound Activation Button for conventional operation

If your transformer lacks WHISTLE/HORN and BELL buttons, you will need to install

Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (included with this locomotive) to

activate the locomotive’s horn and bell sounds.

Connect the buttons as shown below. Be sure that all track power passes through the Sound

Activation Button(s). Do not bypass the buttons.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Lubricating your locomotive

elp your locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining 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 or your

track. You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness

on the parts indicated in Figure 4. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and

always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.

Replacing your locomotive’s lamps

Your locomotive is illuminated by two lamps, Lionel part no. 640-8075-330. During

the course of normal operations, you may find that these lamps require replacement.

Replacement lamps are available from your authorized Lionel Service Center or from Lionel

Service.

To replace the lamps, remove the four body screws from the underside of the frame and lift

away the body. Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 for the location of these screws. Remove the two

screws holding the light retainer to the body. Carefully pull the expired lamp out of the holder.

Follow the wires back to the circuit board and unplug the connector from the board. Plug in

the replacement lamp, then position the new lamp in the holder. Reposition the light retainer

and secure in place with the two screws. Place the body back on the frame, being careful not

to pinch any of the wires and secure together with the four screws removed earlier to complete

the lamp replacement.
