Quick Start

Transformer operations

1. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger

track.

2. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating-current (AC)

transformer.

Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

3. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive determines whether it is in

a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Control

environment. The headlight will stop flashing.

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

throttle up.

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). Both products are offered together in the TrainMaster Command Set (6-12969).

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

2. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger

track.

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

Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

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

Controller.

5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.

Caution!

Conventional transformer operations

Your locomotive is capable of operating in the conventional environment, controlled by

nothing more than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.

In the conventional environment, your locomotive cycles through a repeating pattern of

operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to the next operation, press

the DIRECTION button on your transformer. Alternately, you could use the throttle to briefly

turn off track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operation when power is

restored.

Once you cycle the locomotive into forward or reverse, you control your locomotive’s speed

by varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase the speed of the locomotive,

you increase track voltage. To decrease the speed, you decrease track voltage. To stop the

locomotive and to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage is turned off or

interrupted.

Use the WHISTLE and BELL buttons on your transformer (or separate buttons if your

transformer is not equipped with these controls) to activate these features.

To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend operating in the TrainMaster

Command Control environment. With a simple one-wire connection, you can use the CAB-1

Remote Controller to access all of the functions of your locomotive. Refer to pages 20-26 to see

how to operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.

Conventional transformer operations

Operating your locomotive in the conventional environment

1. With your transformer turned off, place your locomotive on Lionel or

Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track.

2. Connect the drawbar between the locomotive and tender as illustrated in

Figure 1.

Figure 1. Drawbar connection

3. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating-current

transformer.

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

Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer may result in

damage to sensitive electronic components.

4. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive determines whether it is in

a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Control

environment. The headlight flickers as the locomotive searches for a signal from the

Command Base. When the locomotive has determined that a Command Base is not

connected to the track, the flickering will stop and the headlight will remain illuminated.

You are ready for operation in the conventional environment.

5. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your

locomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral,

and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive to the next

operating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time, it will start out in

neutral. Thereafter, it will start in forward after every power interruption lasting five

seconds or longer.

Use the WHISTLE and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Refer

to page 13 if your transformer is not equipped with those buttons.

Caution!

Conventional transformer operations

Locking your locomotive into a single direction

When the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive sequences

through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.

To “lock” your locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only),

you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function. Refer to Figure 2 for the

location of the Command reverse unit switch.

1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get your

locomotive moving in the desired direction.

2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off track

power).

3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PROG position. At this point, the locomotive is

“locked” into your chosen direction. To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just

slide the Command reverse unit switch back to the RUN position.

Your locomotive will “reset” to forward after any power interruption lasting five

seconds or longer, regardless of the direction you set.

Note!

Conventional transformer operations

Coupling your locomotive in the conventional environment

The locomotive’s tender features one ElectroCoupler that is released by remote control at any

point around your layout in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.

In the conventional environment, the ElectroCouplers will not open manually or by using a

Remote-Control Track section. To couple your locomotive in the conventional environment, you

must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with a magnetic coupler. Simply release the

magnetic coupler and couple the rolling stock to the locomotive, even if the ElectroCoupler is

closed.

Keep in mind that you may still make use of Lionel Remote-Control Track sections (6-65530

for O gauge; 6-12746 and 6-65149 for O-27 gauge; and 6-12020 or 6-12054 for FasTrack

layouts) with the magnetic couplers on the rolling stock. Place the trigger disc on the magnetic

coupler over the central coil on the Remote-Control Track section, then press UNCOUPLE on the

track section’s controller. As illustrated in Figure 3, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward,

releasing the coupler.

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations

Your locomotive is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds 5.0 sound system, the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds 5.0 sound system brings the

sounds of the railroad to your layout through high quality digital samples of real locomotives.

When you operate your locomotive in the conventional environment, you get realistic

chuffing sounds, which automatically increase through 15 levels as the speed of the locomotive

increases. You can sound the locomotive’s whistle or activate the ringing of the bell. When you

are through with operations and power down the track, your locomotive’s RailSounds 5.0 sound

system starts a realistic steam shutdown sequence. (A nine-volt battery is required for the

operation of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system when the track is powered down, see pages 10-11.)

When you operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you

get full control of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system, including the whistle, air horn, and bell

sounds. The locomotive’s chuffing sounds automatically increase, but you can also set a

particular chuff intensity level using your CAB-1 Remote Controller. In the Command Control

environment, the release of the ElectroCoupler is accompanied by a coupler release sound. Use

the BRAKE button, and listen for the sound of squealing metal. You can also trigger CrewTalk

dialog and TowerCom announcements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive

crew and the yardmaster. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotive, the realistic

shutdown sequence commences.(A nine-volt battery is required for the operation of the

RailSounds 5.0 sound system when the track is powered down, see pages 10-11.)

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations

Installing the battery

While the RailSounds 5.0 sound system is powered through the track, we recommend that

you install a nine-volt alkaline battery in the tender to prevent the sound system from

shutting down during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or a dirty section of

track). Follow these steps and refer to Figure 4 as you install the battery.

If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you

may need to replace the battery.

1. Remove the body screws from the underside of the tender. Refer to Figure 4 for the location

of the screws.

2. Lift the body off the frame. Be careful to avoid pulling on the wires that connect the body to

the frame.

3. Remove the protective cover from the battery harness.

4. Snap the battery harness onto the nine-volt alkaline battery’s terminals.

5. Slide the battery into the battery holder.

6. Replace the body on the frame and secure it with the body mounting screws. Be careful to

avoid pinching wires between the body and the frame.
