Quick Start

Transformer operations

1. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger

track.

2. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating-current (AC)

transformer.

Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

3. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive determines whether it is in

a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Control

environment.

4. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTION button on your controller, then

throttle up.

Caution!

Quick Start

TrainMaster Command Control operations

To operate your locomotive in the Command Control environment, you need a Command

Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately,

6-12868). Both products are offered together in the TrainMaster Command Set (6-12969).

1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base.

2. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger

track.

3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).

Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote

Controller.

5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.

Caution!

Conventional transformer operations

Conventional operations

Your locomotive is capable of operating in the conventional environment, controlled by

nothing more than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.

In the conventional environment, your locomotive cycles through a repeating pattern of

operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to the next operation, press

the DIRECTION button on your transformer. Alternately, you could use the throttle to briefly

turn off track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operation when power is

restored.

Once you cycle the locomotive into forward or reverse, you control your locomotive’s speed

by varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase the speed of the locomotive,

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

locomotive and to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage is turned off or

interrupted.

Use the WHISTLE and BELL buttons on your transformer (or separate buttons if your

transformer is not equipped with these controls, see page 14) to activate these features.

To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend operating in the TrainMaster

Command Control environment. With a simple one-wire connection, you can use the CAB-1

Remote Controller to access all of the functions of your locomotive. Refer to pages 18-24 to see

how to operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.

Conventional transformer operations

Operating your locomotive in the conventional environment

1. With your transformer turned off, place your locomotive on Lionel or

Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track.

2. Connect the drawbar between the locomotive and tender as illustrated in

Figure 1.

Figure 1. Drawbar connection

3. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating-current (AC)

transformer.

Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.

Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer may result in

damage to sensitive electronic components.

4. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive determines whether it is in

a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Control

environment. The headlight flickers as the locomotive searches for a signal from the

Command Base. When the locomotive has determined that a Command Base is not

connected to the track, the flickering will stop and the headlight will remain illuminated.

You are ready for operation in the conventional environment.

5. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your

locomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral,

and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive to the next

operating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time, it will start out in

neutral. Thereafter, it will start in forward after every power interruption lasting five

seconds or longer.

Use the WHISTLE and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Refer

to page 14 if your transformer is not equipped with those buttons.

Caution!

Note!

Conventional transformer operations

Locking your locomotive into a single direction

When the Command 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 a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only),

you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function. Refer to Figure 2 for the

location of the Command reverse unit switch.

1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get your

locomotive moving in the desired direction.

2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off track

power).

3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PROG position. At this point, the locomotive is

“locked” into your chosen direction. To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just

slide the Command reverse unit switch back to the RUN position.

Your locomotive will “reset” to forward after any power interruption lasting five

seconds or longer, regardless of the direction you set.

Conventional transformer operations

Coupling your locomotive in the conventional environment

The locomotive’s tender features one ElectroCoupler that is released by remote control at any

point around your layout in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.

In the conventional environment, the ElectroCouplers will not open manually or by using a

Remote-Control Track section. To couple your locomotive in the conventional environment, you

must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with a magnetic coupler. Simply release the

magnetic coupler and couple the rolling stock to the locomotive, even if the ElectroCoupler is

closed.

Keep in mind that you may still make use of Lionel Remote-Control Track sections (6-65530

for O gauge; 6-12746 and 6-65149 for O-27 gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts) with the

magnetic couplers on the rolling stock. Place the trigger disc on the magnetic coupler over the

central coil on the Remote-Control Track section, then press UNCOUPLE on the track section’s

controller. As illustrated in Figure 3, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, releasing the

coupler.

RailSounds sound system operations

Your locomotive is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds sound system, the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds sound system brings the sounds

of the railroad to your layout through high quality digital samples of real locomotives.

When you operate your locomotive in the conventional environment, you get realistic

chuffing sounds, which automatically increase through four levels as the speed of the

locomotive increases. You can sound the locomotive’s whistle or activate the ringing of the bell.

When you are through with operations and power down the track, your locomotive’s RailSounds

sound system starts a realistic steam shutdown sequence (a nine-volt alkaline battery is

required).

When you operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you

get full control of the RailSounds sound system, including the whistle and bell sounds. The

locomotive’s chuffing sounds automatically increase, but you can also set a particular chuff

level using your CAB-1 Remote Controller. In the Command Control environment, the release of

the ElectroCoupler is accompanied by a coupler release sound. Use the BRAKE button, and

listen for the sound of squealing metal. You can also trigger CrewTalk communication and

TowerCom announcements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive crew and

the yardmaster. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotive, the realistic shutdown

sequence commences (a nine-volt alkaline battery is required).
