The classic Lionel EP-5 is a model of the

famous 4,000 H.P. electric locomotive as

it was delivered to the railroads in 1955.

Often called “The Jet” because of the sound

the fans and blowers made as it flashed past.

The EP-5 was a quick passenger locomotive,

many times topping its maximum allowed

speed of 70MPH Updated now with

RailSounds and Command Control, the

“New” Lionel EP-5 is the best we’ve built,

ENJOY!

Transformer operations

Running your Lionel EP-5 with a Lionel transformer

It is very IMPORTANT to determine which end of your EP-5 is the front. Since it

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

Turn over your EP-5 and locate the PROG/RUN and SIG/FULL switches, (see page

6) this is what we consider to be the “front” of your EP-5. Please run your EP-5

the first time by itself just to make sure you know where it’s going.

Note!

NOTE!

Place your EP-5 on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O gauge track.

• Note the pull of Magne-Traction between your EP-5 and the steel track.

Magnetized wheels and axles increase your pulling power (more than 20 cars on

straight and level track) and keep your EP-5 on track while passing swiftly

through curves.

Power up your EP-5 with your transformer.

• Your EP-5 is designed to operate on 7-18 volts alternating current.

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

suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad control sys-

tem.

• DO NOT POWER YOUR EP-5 WITH DIRECT CURRENT (DC). DAMAGE TO SENSITIVE

electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the EP-5 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 EP-5’s headlights will illuminate and

RailSounds will fire up. At this point, the EP-5 is in neutral. (This occurs when

placing the EP-5 on your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it starts in for-

ward after every three-second power interrupt.)

Move ‘em out!

• Get your EP-5 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 EP-5 moves at your desired speed. To

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

the locomotive set, cut track power.

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

tivate the R2LC’s sequencing function. Get your EP-5 moving in the desired

direction, then slide the reverse unit control switch on the EP-5’s underside to

PROGRAM (PGM). See page 12 for the switch location and positioning.

Transformer operations

A note on Magne-Traction

Your EP-5 is equipped with Lionel

Magne-Traction, magnetized wheelsets

and axles that help increase tractive effort

during 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 EP-5’s

motor assembly. They can damage your

locomotive.

Magne-Traction is not effective

on nonferrous track.

Note!

Using your EP-5’s ElectroCouplers in the

non-Command environment

To use your EP-5’s ElectroCouplers in

the non-Command environment, you

must first couple a piece of rolling stock

equipped with Lionel magnetic couplers

directly to your EP-5. 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 cou-

pler “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 cou-

pler opens.

Your EP-5 ElectroCouplers will NOT

open manually or by using a

remote-control track section

Magnetic coupler on the rolling

stock coupled to your EP-5

Note!

control track

section

Using your EP-5’s ElectroCouplers in the

TrainMaster Command environment

Your Lionel EP-5 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.

YourEP-5’s ElectroCouplers

are NOT designed to be

opened manually.

Note!

Transformer operations

Although track voltage powers RailSounds, the battery is required for uninterrupt-

ed operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries; do not use

“heavy duty” batteries.

Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the RailSounds (RS)

switch position.

If RailSounds “drops out” during track power interrupts, replace the battery.

Your EP-5’s RailSounds system—the basics

Lionel RailSounds is the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the world.

Your EP-5 features digital samples from an

authentic EP-5 for the ultimate in realism.

Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-

tery in your EP-5. This ensures interuption

free operation of RailSounds. Remove the

two screws,(see Figure #1) and lift off the

body. Connect the 9-volt battery to the moth-

er board (see figure #2). Replace the body

and reinsert the two screws.

Apply track power and the EP-5’s

RailSounds system delivers an authentic

start-up sequence. As the EP-5’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 (RS)

switch to its signal (SIG) position before

powering up the locomotive. See page 12

for the switch location and positioning. To

return to the RPM roar, return the switch to

the FULL position.

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 EP-5’s

speed determines the level of RPM

roar—automatically.

•MultiHornTM. 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 EP-5 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 EP-5. If

you’re done with operations, RailSounds

will commence with an authentic EP-5

shutdown sequence about 2 seconds after

the air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your EP-5’s RailSounds system

Notes on RailSounds

• Use the EP-5’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 EP-5 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.

Transformer operations

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

To operate the bell and horn sounds when

operating your EP-5 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 EP-5 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 EP-5 using CAB-1.

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

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

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—controls

the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gasoline 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 EP-5 (equipped with an R2LC) see page

12.

Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your EP-5 will respond to

your every command. Read on.

Lionel TrainMaster Command is the fun

and sophisticated model railroad control

system from Lionel. Your EP-5 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.
