Track layout

Joining the track sections

Join the track sections together

by inserting the pins of one track section

into the rail openings

of another. For good

electrical contact, pins

must be carefully

inserted and track

joints tightly fitted.

If the track is diffi-

cult to connect, try this

installation tip. You

can “break in” O-27

track sections by

inserting and with-

drawing a track pin

into one rail at a time

before joining the

entire track section.

If the openings

become too open

(causing the track to

fit loosely), pinch the

rail together around a track pin with a pair

of pliers. If any pins fall out of the track and

are missing, replace

them with extras avail-

able from your Lionel

dealer.

Maintenance tip: The

rails should be kept

clean, dry, and free

from oil and grease.

Clean rust and dirt

spots with a track eras-

er. Wipe the track using

a cloth dampened with

track cleaner from the

Lionel maintenance kit

(no. 6-62927), avail-

able from your nearest

Lionel Authorized

Value Added Dealer or

Lionel Service.

Track layout

Grade crossing

Included in your set are two

pieces of grade crossing. These

can be used on any straight sec-

tion of track and will allow you to

drive your Lionel tractor-trailer as

well as other toy cars and trucks

over the rails of your layout.

To install, simply place the

grade crossings under a section of

straight track lining up the rails

with the grooves in the crossing.

You may install two crossings

on the same section of track or on

separate sections.

Suggested track layouts

Here are some examples of layouts you can build with 8 straight and 8 curved sections of track.

Remember—the more track you own, the more variations you can create in your train layout.

And that means more action and more fun!

Track layout

Attaching the lockon to the track

The lockon connects power from your

controller to the track. Attaching

the lockon to the track is quick and

easy. First, place the lockon

under any straight section of

track. Fit the center lip

of the lockon onto

the edge of an

outside rail. Press the lockon upward so that

the spring contact snaps onto the center

rail. The lockon should face outward

when setting up your track and

make sure it is firmly connect-

ed. Use the illustrations below as

a step-by-step guide.

Once the lockon is securely attached to

the track, it’s time to insert the wires from

the controller into the two spring clips on

the lockon. See page 7 for easy-to-follow

steps.

Once your track is assem-

bled and the lockon is

securely attached, you can connect the

wires from the controller to the lockon.

First you‘ll want to check the ends of

the wires to make sure that the insulation

is stripped back about 1⁄4" to 3⁄8". To strip

the wires, use a pair of wire strippers or a

sharp knife.

Attaching the controller wires to the lockon

Now you’ll need to insert a controller

wire into each of the two spring clips on

the lockon.

It’s easy! Depress the spring clip with your

finger and insert the bare end of the wire

into the exposed opening. Release the spring

clip. Give the wire a little tug to make sure

it’s secure. Repeat these steps with the other

spring clip. Next, insert the small plug end

of the power pack into the back of your con-

troller, and plug the other end into a stan-

dard outlet.

If the whistle fails to operate

when you press the whistle button

on your controller (see page 8), remove the

wires from the lockon and reinsert each one

into the opposite clip to reverse polarity.

Plug this end into

back of controller.

Stripping the wire

Note!

Plug power pack

into standard

wall outlet

Make sure that the bare end of

each wire is securely attached

to the spring clip.

Caution: Only an adult should perform this task! Always use care when stripping wires.

Controller operations

Controller functions

As you turn the throttle control knob to

the right, power to the track is

increased. When the indicator reaches the

green band, there should be sufficient power

to operate the locomotive. The further into

the green area the knob is turned, the faster

your train will go. Remember that the

greater the load on the engine (adding more

cars for the engine to pull, for example), the

farther into the green the knob must be

turned before it will operate the locomotive.

The yellow band indicates the average

power range that the train will be operating

in. The red band represents maximum

power output.

Controller operations

Your Lionel power pack is listed by

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and has

been carefully designed and tested to ensure

peak performance. The controller is

equipped with a built-in electronic circuit

breaker that alternately cuts off and restores

the flow of power to the track whenever a

short circuit exists—for example, when the

train derails. The circuit breaker’s action

continues until the cause of the short circuit

is eliminated. This circuit breaker is incor-

porated into the controller to protect it from

possible damage. It will not protect the loco-

motive or electrically operated accessories,

so it’s important to eliminate short circuits

as soon as possible.

The power pack must be

unplugged from the wall socket

when a short circuit is noticed, and the

short circuit must be corrected.

A short circuit is caused by a direct con-

nection between the center rail and one of

the outside rails or by a direct connection

between bare wires. The axles of a derailed

car or locomotive are the most frequent

cause of short circuits, so make sure that all

wheels are properly set on the rails. Some

other causes of short circuits might be sta-

ples, nails, paper clips, or other metallic

objects lying across the rails, or two bare

wires touching each other.

If too many cars or accessories are used,

your controller will exceed its power limit

and begin to cycle on and off. To correct this

problem, cars or accessories must be

removed before normal operation can

resume. For more power, see the line of

Lionel high-output transformers at your

Authorized Lionel Value Added Dealer.

The same condition can occur if the

power is turned up too quickly. This also

could cause your train to move too fast and

derail.

After your power pack has been operating

for a while, you will find it warm to the

touch. It is the nature of all electrical power

equipment to become warm when in use. If

your controller is loaded to capacity, it is a

good idea to let it cool down after an hour

or two of continuous use. Unplug the power

pack from the wall when the controller is

not in use.

Note!

Controller and short circuits

Train operation

Reverse unit procedure

The reverse unit inside your Lionel loco-

motive is an electronic device that acts

like the transmission in your car. When you

apply power to the track, the locomotive

moves in the direction specified by the

reverse unit—or it sits in neutral, awaiting

another power interrup-

tion. Power interruptions

are the signal that tells

the reverse unit to

sequence to the next oper-

ational state.

To interrupt power and

sequence the locomotive’s

reverse unit, press the

direction control button

or turn the throttle to the

Off position and On again. The reverse unit

alternates between three states: forward,

neutral, and reverse.

Also, the locomotive can be “locked” into

a certain mode of operation by throwing the

switch located on the underside of the frame

(see illustration above). When the switch is

thrown to the Off position, the locomotive

will be locked in the next mode of operation

in the sequence. For instance, if the locomo-

tive is moving forward, then is stopped and

the switch is thrown back, the locomotive

will be “locked” in neutral. If the switch is

thrown back while the locomotive is under

power, the locomotive will remain in the

mode it was in when the

switch was thrown. The

controller direction con-

trol will then have no

affect on the direction of

the locomotive.

Additionally, this

reverse unit has a

“power-up reset” feature,

which means that should

the locomotive sit with-

out power for a short period of time, the

reverse unit will automatically reset and

start in the forward direction when the

transformer is turned on or “powered up,”

regardless of the locking switch position. If

the locking switch is in the Off position, the

locomotive will start in the forward direction

and be “locked” there.
