You purchased a tough, durable locomo-

tive-the F3 diesel locomotive built by

Lionel. From the crisp detail and expert dec-

oration on the outside to the brute power

under the hood, the Lionel F3 is ready for

duty on your model railroad. Experience the

superiority of today’s Lionel. Your F3 is also

upgradable to include the latest Command

Control and Railsounds features.

• Two powerful Lionel Pullmor®motors

(in powered unit)

• Lionel electronic reversing unit

•SignalSounds horn and bell

• Magne-Traction®

• Die-cast magnetic couplers (on front of

“A” Units)

•Illuminated headlights and illuminated

interiors

• Upgrade ready

Transformer operations

Your Lionel F3 is equipped with a front oper-

ating magnetic

knuckle coupler.

Lionel magnetic cou-

plers react to the magnetic

field generated by a Lionel

remote-control track sec-

tion (available separately).

Place your lo-comotive’s

coupler trigger disc over

the central coil of a

remote-control track section and press UNCOUPLE

on the controller. The magnetic field pulls the

disc downward, and the knuckle opens.

One operating technique

favored by Lionel railroad-

ers is the “moving uncou-

ple.” Press the UNCOUPLE

button as the F3 passes over

a remote-control section.

The magnetic field will

open the coupler; the con-

sist remains behind as the

locomotive moves on. But

be careful—the speed of a newly uncoupled and

moving locomotive can increase dramatically.

Position your F3’s trigger disc over the

remote-control section, then press “uncou-

ple.” The coupler opens.

3Move ‘em out!

• Get your F3 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or Lionel

transformer. This sequences the Lionel 104 E reverse unit to the next operat-

ing state. The 104 E unit alternates between three states: forward, neutral,

and reverse.

• Adjust track voltage until your F3 moves at your desired speed. To increase

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

locomotive, cut track power.

• See table on page 4 for information on locking your F3 in a sin-

gle operating state

Place your F3 locomotives on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible O, 027 gauge track.

2Power up your F3s with your transformer.

• Your F3 is designed to operate on 10-16 volts alternating current.

Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are suit-

able.

• DO NOT POWER YOUR F3 WITH DIRECT CURRENT (DC). Damage to sensitive electron-

ic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, your F3’s headlights will illuminate.

At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. This occurs when placing the F3 on your

railroad for the first time. When your train is first powered up, the default state will

be neutral and the default direction is forward. This means whenever you power up

your engine the engine will remain in neutral, and when the power is removed and

again applied, the train will move forward. This condition holds true if the engine is

being powered up for the first time or if the engine has been powered down longer

than five seconds.

Note!

With SignalSounds, you experience the

sounds of real railroading like never

before. Simply put, it delivers realistic, and

authentic sounds to your model railroad. To

adjust the volume of signalsounds see the

next page for location of adjustment knob

• Diesel Horn. Press horn to produce an

authentic diesel horn blast.

• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your

CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect;

again to discontinue.

Your F3’s 104 E Reverse unit

The New E-Series Reversing Unit controls

the direction of the engine. When the revers-

ing unit senses an interruption in track

power, it will cycle into the next direction in

the sequence. The sequence is neutral, for-

ward, neutral, reverse.... Track power inter-

ruptions are created using the direction

control on your transformer or Cab-1, or by

turning the throttle to zero.

When power is first applied (or after a 5

second power interruption), the engine will

power up in neutral, always before forward.

A single press of the direction button will set

your engine in forward motion. This will

help eliminate unexpected start ups, derail-

ments, and crashes. Listed in the table on

the next page is the direction sequence pat-

tern that your 104 E unit will follow under

the given conditions.

As always, a lockout switch is included to

deactivate the 104 E’s sequencing function.

(for switch location see illustration on the

next page) A new feature is that now you

will have a neutral available even when the

reversing unit is “off”. In addition, you no

longer have to slow the engine by hand to

turn off the reversing unit while the train is

moving. Simply stop the engine, and throw

the switch. The 104 E unit will be locked

into its last moving direction, plus neu-

tral. Even simpler, just put the switch in the

“PROG” position and keep power off for 5

seconds. When you start, you will be locked

in neutral/forward.

NOTE: Due to limitations of the electronic components, it is hard to predict how each engine

will function when power is interrupted between 2.5 seconds and 5 seconds. Engines will

function either as in case #1 or case #2. This solely depends on the tolerances of the installed

electronics and is not affected or caused by your power supply.

NOTE: With your 104 E reversing unit, positioning the switch in the PROG position locks

your engine into its last moving direction plus neutral. Positioning the switch in the RUN

position resumes normal sequencing operation.

Installing the Lionel no. 610-5906-001 sound activation button

To operate the bell and horn sounds when

operating your F3 set with conventional

transformers, you’ll need to install the Lionel

no. 610-5906-001 sound activation button

(available separately). Connect the button(s)

as shown below.

Maintaining and servicing your powered and

non-powered F3A set

Help your Lionel powered and non-pow-

ered F3A set lead a long and produc-

tive life on your railroad by maintaining it

properly.

We recommend you purchase aLionel 929

Lubrication and Maintenance kit (no. 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 F3’s

wheels, contact rollers, or your track.

You’ll know your F3 requires lubrication

when visual inspection reveals dryness on

the parts indicated in the illustration.

Remove accumulated dirt and dust before

lubricating, and always lubricate any loco-

motive emerging from prolonged storage.

& non-powered F3A set

LIONELLIONEL

Lubricating your F3’s Pullmor motor armatures

Your powered F3A unit will require occa-

sional lubrication of its Pullmor motor

armatures. If you hear excess noise during

operation, or if the locomotive slows down

intermittently, you may need to oil the top

armature bearing.

Start by separating the body shell from

the frame; remove the front body screw and

unclip the rear shell tabs from the frame

slots. Apply a small amount of Lionel oil

(two drops) in the armature shaft hole.

Finish the job by reinstalling the body

shell. Reinsert the rear tabs into the frame

slots, then line up the screw holes in the

front, and reinsert the screw.

Your F3 unit contains sophisti-

cated electronic devices that are

extremely sensitive to static

electricity. Please avoid all phys-

ical contact with these devices.

Note!

Replacing your powered/non-powered F3A unit’s lamps

Your F3A units are both illuminated by

two 14-volt lamps. One illuminates the

headlamp and the other illuminates the cab

interior. During the course of normal opera-

tion, they may require replacement.

Start by separating the plastic body shell

from the frame; remove the front screw on

the underside of the frame and lift the body

up slightly, pulling it forward to release the

two rear clips from the frame slots.

Each lamp rests in a holder, with its

prongs plugged into a

socket. Carefully pull the

bulb straight up out of

the holder to remove it.

Replace the expired lamp with Lionel part

no. 610-8049-300, available from your local

Lionel Authorized Service Center or Lionel

Service. (For more information, see Lionel

Service on page 21.)

Insert the replacement lamp’s prongs into

the socket, making sure of a tight connec-

tion. To reinstall the shell, first insert the

rear tabs on the body into the slots on the

frame. Line up the screw holes on the frame

and body shell, and reinsert the screw. Make

sure all of the wires are inside the body

before you tighten the screw.

Make sure to insert the rear tabs on the body into the slots on the

frame before inserting the front screw.
