Running your locomotive

Caution! Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

With track power off, place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible O-gauge track.

Throttle up the locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating current. Virtually

all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating current transformers are suitable.

Get your locomotive moving. Your locomotive goes through a repeating

pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence

the reverse unit, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly

bring the throttle all the way back to the OFF position and then forward, for one

to four seconds. When track power is interrupted, the locomotive advances to the

next operational state.

Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Running your locomotive

Locking your locomotive into forward-only operation

When the electronic 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 forward operation only, you can deactivate the reverse

unit’s sequencing function. Follow the steps below and refer to Figure 1 for the location of the

reverse unit switch.

1. Turn off track power, wait three seconds, and then remove the locomotive from the track.

2. Slide the reverse unit switch to the LOCK position. See Figure 1 for the location of this

switch. At this point, the locomotive is “locked” into forward direction operation.

3. Place your locomotive back on the track. Power up the track and press the DIRECTION

button on your transformer to confirm that the locomotive is locked in forward-only

operation.

To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, turn off track power and remove your

locomotive from the track. Slide the reverse unit switch back to the RUN position, then place

the locomotive back on the track.

Although your locomotive is wired to operate on a three-rail track, it is equipped with

operating pantographs which can be wired into the power circuit by any model railroader

whose layout works with a catenary, or overhead power line.

The pantographs are held in place with a spring catch and can be removed simply by

pulling the base frame upward. This is a very important feature as it prevents damage to the

pantograph in the event of a derailment or catching on a catenary. To replace, open the

pantograph and snap into place by pushing in the center portion. See Figure 2 below.

Catenary Operation

For prototypical operation with the pantographs, remove the body screws from the

underside of the locomotive and lift the body from the frame. See Figure 4 on page 10 for the

location of the body screws. An adult should cut and splice a wire from one of the collector

leads to the rear pantograph. The pantograph in the rear should be raised to collect power.

Installing the pantographs on your GG-1

Operation with raised pantographs will require increased overhead clearance.

Running your locomotive

Your Lionel locomotive is equipped with operating magnetic knuckle couplers.

Magnetic couplers react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control Track

section (available separately, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; 6-65530 for O gauge; or

6-12020 and 6-12054 for FasTrack layouts).

As illustrated in Figure 3, place your locomotive’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.

Conventional RailSounds operations

Operating the conventional RailSounds sound system

When you power up the locomotive on the track, you will hear the sounds of the idling

locomotive. The sounds will increase proportionally with the locomotive's speed. Use the

volume control knob to adjust the volume. See Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of this

control, which is located on the underside of the locomotive.

Whistle/Horn

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

will play for as long as you hold the button.

Bell

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

discontinue the sound.

Crew dialog

CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered by short whistle blasts and

depend on whether the locomotive is moving or standing still, as well as the duration.

• If the locomotive has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short whistle blast triggers

a "please stand by" dialog.

• If the locomotive has been stopped for longer than 15 seconds, a short whistle blast

triggers a "clear outbound" announcement.

• If the locomotive is moving, a short whistle blast triggers an "all clear ahead" dialog.

• If the locomotive is moving and the bell is on, a short whistle blast triggers a "slow to

restricted speed" dialog.

Conventional RailSounds operations

Sounding your locomotive’s electronic horn and bell

Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate the locomotives horn

and bell sounds. If your transformer lacks HORN and BELL buttons, you will need to install

Lionel no. 6105906001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) 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).

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Lubricating your locomotive

Help your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it

properly. To keep your locomotive lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel

Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer or

service station.

When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 4 appear dry, lubricate your

locomotive after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules to keep

in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive: use only a small amount of lubrication and avoid

getting grease or oil on your locomotive’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.
