The classic Lionel GG-1 is a model of the

engine considered by many railroad

experts to be the best all around engine ever

built.

The GG-1 shape was designed by top

industrial designer Raymond Loewy and first

put into passenger service in 1935. The GG-1

can run at over 100 miles per hour with lit-

tle strain.

Lionel’s first GG-1 was offered in the 1947

catalog. The first model made with Magne-

Traction and twin motors was built in 1950.

The best GG-1 is in your hands. Enjoy!

Transformer operations

Running your Lionel GG1 set with a Lionel transformer

•Note the pull of Magne-Traction between your GG1 and the steel track.

Magnetized wheels and axles increase your pulling power (more than 25 cars on

straight and level track) and keep your GG1 on track while passing swiftly

through curves.

It is very IMPORTANT to determine which end of your GG1 is the front. Since it

is symmetrical it may start off in the opposite direction you are intending to go!

Turn over your GG1 and locate the volume adjustment knob (see page 8) this is

what we consider to be the “front” of your GG1. Please run your GG1 the first time by itself

just to make sure you know where it’s going.

• Your GG1 is designed to operate on 12-18 volts alternating cur-

rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transform-

ers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad con-

trol system.

• Do not power your GG1 with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive

electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the GG1 will wait between 3

and 8 seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster

Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a con-

ventional (nonCommand) railroad, the GG1’s headlights will illuminate and

RailSounds will fire up. At this point, the GG1 is in neutral. (This occurs when

placing the GG1 on your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it starts in for-

ward after every three-second power interrupt.)

Note!

NOTE!

• Get your GG1 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or Lionel

transformer. This sequences the Liontech Command reverse unit (R2LC) to the

next operating state. The R2LC alternates between three states: forward, neutral,

and reverse.

• Adjust track voltage until your GG1 moves at your desired speed. To increase

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

motive, cut track power.

• To select a single operating state (example: forward only), you can deac-

tivate the R2LC’s sequencing function. Get your GG1 moving in the desired

direction, then slide the reverse unit control switch on the GG1’s underside to

PROG/LOCK. See page 14 for the switch location and positioning.

1Place your GG1 set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible

O gauge track.

Power up your GG1 set with your transformer.

Move ‘em out!

Transformer operations

Using your GG1’s ElectroCouplers in the non-Command environment

To use your GG1’s ElectroCouplers in the

non-Command environment, you must

first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped

with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to

your GG1. The magnetic coupler on the

rolling stock will then react to the magnetic

field generated by a Lionel remote-control

track section (available separately). Place

your rolling stock’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 coupler opens.

Your GG1 ElectroCouplers will NOT

open manually or by using a

remote-control track section

A note on Magne-Traction

Your GG1 is equipped with Lionel Magne-

Traction, magnetized wheelsets and

axles that help increase tractive effort dur-

ing operation. Because the wheelsets are

magnetized, take care to prevent small

metallic objects from attaching to the wheel

sets and working their way into the GG1’s

motor assembly. They can damage your

locomotive.

Magne-Traction is not effective on

nonferrous track.

Using your GG1’s ElectroCouplers in the TrainMaster

Command environment

Your Lionel GG1 is equipped with

ElectroCouplers™ that respond

to either the COUPLER F (front) or

COUPLER R (rear) button on your

CAB-1 remote when operated in the

Trainmaster Command environment.

Simply press either button on your

CAB-1 remote, and that coupler

opens.

Your GG1’s ElectroCouplers

are NOT designed to be

opened manually.

Your GG1’s RailSounds system—the basics

Lionel RailSounds is the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the

world. Your GG1 features digital samples

from an authentic GG1 for the ultimate in

realism.

Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-

tery in your GG1. This ensures interuption

free operation of RailSounds. Remove the

six screws,(see below for location) and lift

off the body. Connect the 9-volt battery to

the battery clip (remove the protective cap),

and place the battery into the open area on

the circuit board. Replace the body and

reinsert the six screws.

Apply track power and the GG1’s

RailSounds system delivers an authentic

start-up sequence. As the GG1’s speed

increases, the RPMs move through six levels

of roar. Sounds return to idle only after the

locomotive has come to a complete stop. To

silence the RPM roar (horn and bell remain

unaffected), slide the RailSounds switch to

its SIG (signal) position before powering

up the locomotive. See page 14 for the

switch location and positioning. To return

to the RPM roar, return the switch to the

FULL position.

Although track voltage powers

RailSounds, the battery is required for

uninterrupted operation and

shutdown sequences. Use only

alkaline batteries; do not use “heavy

duty” batteries.

Discontinue locomotive power for 10

seconds before changing the

RailSounds switch position.

If RailSounds “drops out” during

track power interrupts, replace the

battery.

Volume adjustment knob

With RailSounds, you experience the

sounds of real railroading like never

before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticat-

ed, authentic model railroad sound system

in the world.

• Six RPM-roar levels. Your GG1’s

speed determines the level of RPM

roar—automatically, if you prefer:

idle, slow, medium, or full-speed output.

• MultiHorn™. A different horn sound

every time—a RailSounds exclusive.

• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your

CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect;

again to discontinue.

• Reverse unit reset sound. Power

down your track, wait for 3.5 seconds,

and listen for the air-release sound—

that’s the GG1 telling you its Liontech

Command reverse unit has just reset to

forward operation.

• Shutdown sequence. No other model

railroad sound system shuts down like

RailSounds. Turn off track power, and

after the air-release reset sound, you

have 2 seconds to restart your GG1. If

you’re done with operations, RailSounds

will commence with an authentic GG1

shutdown sequence about 2 seconds

after the air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your GG1’s RailSounds system

• Use the GG1’s frame mounted volume

control to adjust sound output. (See

below for its location.)

• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds

during RailSounds operation. They’re

automatic and, of course, authentic.

• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed

ensures continuous GG1 sounds.

• Longer track-power interruptions

(including locomotive derailments)

cause RailSounds to shut down after

about 7 seconds.

• For even more authentic RailSounds

effects, operate in the TrainMaster

Command environment.

Installing the Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button

To operate the bell and horn sounds when

operating your GG1 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.

TrainMaster Command operations

The Command control environment

Place your GG1 on Lionel or Lionel-compatible

O gauge track.

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on the track.

• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications

wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U on

any of your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on PowerMaster,

slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).

Address your GG1 using CAB-1.

• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This com-

mand is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates your com-

mand into digital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in

the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital

communication, but they do not respond until they hear their individual ID

number—in this case, “1.”

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—con-

trols the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gaso-

line in the tank of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t

tell you where to go or how fast to get there.

• All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an

ID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your GG1 (equipped with an R2LC) see

page 14.

Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your GG1 will respond to

your every command. Read on.

Lionel TrainMaster Command is the fun

and sophisticated model railroad control

system from Lionel. Your GG1 features the

Lionel Command reverse unit, which acts as

both a conventional reverse unit as well as

the key to unlocking many extra features

when you operate in Command mode.

TrainMaster Command gives you the

power to operate multiple Command-

equipped locomotives on the same track, at

the same time. It’s the most fun you can

have with electric trains, and it’s incredibly

easy too! Just follow the directions below

and you’ll be on your way.

To operate in Command, you need

a Command Base and a CAB-1

remote. Find them both at your authorized

Lionel retailer.
