3Move ‘em out!

Get y ur l c m tive m ving. Press the DIRECTION button on your ionel

transformer. This sequences the reverse unit to the next operating state in the

repeating sequence: forward, neutral, reverse, and neutral.

Adjust track v ltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To

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

locomotive, turn-off track power.

See page 5 f r inf rmati n n l cking y ur l c m tive int a single

perati nal state.

Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible

O gauge track.

2Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Y ur l c m tive is designed t perate n 8-18 v lts alternating

current. Virtually all ionel and ionel-compatible alternating-current

transformers are suitable.

D n t p wer y ur l c m tive with direct current (DC). Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

Transformer operations

Caution!

When the reverse unit switch is in the ON position, your locomotive sequences through a

repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To select a

single operational state for your ionel locomotive (for example, forward only), you can

deactivate the reverse unit’s sequencing function with the reverse unit switch.

Get your locomotive moving in the desired direction, then s ow it down without stopping.

Set the reverse unit switch to OFF. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switch. The

locomotive is now “locked” into your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-direction operation, just slide the switch back to ON.

Your locomotive’s reverse unit will “reset” to forward after any power interruption

lasting five seconds or longer, regardless of the original locked-out direction.

The no. 610-5906-001 button works with any ionel AC transformer except

no. 6-4690 Type MW.

Note!

Press the HORN/WHIST E button on your controller to sound the locomotive’s horn. Be

sure that the horn ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 1 on

page 5 for the location of that switch.

If your controller does not have a HORN/WHIST E button, install a ionel Sound

Activation Button (available separately, part no. 610-5906-001). Connect the button as shown

in Figure 2.

If you would like to disable the horn sounds, throw the horn ON/OFF switch to the OFF

position.

All track power must feed through the Sound Activation Button. Do not bypass the button.

Note!

Transformer operations

our ionel locomotive is equipped with operating magnetic knuckle couplers, a

revolutionary design first introduced by ionel in 1945.

ionel magnetic couplers react to the magnetic field generated by a ionel Remote-Control

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

or 6-12020 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 UNCOUP E on the controller. The magnetic field

pulls the disc downward, and the knuckle opens. You may also press down on the uncoupling

tab to open the coupler.

One operating technique favored by ionel railroaders is the “moving uncouple.” Press the

UNCOUP E button as the locomotive passes over a Remote-Control Track section. The

magnetic field will open the coupler; the consist remains behind as the locomotive moves on.

But be careful—the speed of a newly uncoupled and moving locomotive can increase

dramatically.

Maintaining and servicing yo r locomotive

Lubricating your locomotive

Help your ionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly.

We recommend that you purchase a ionel ubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927),

available from your ionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate (a

small amount will do), and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive’s wheels or your

track. You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness

on the parts indicated in Figure 4. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating and

always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.

Maintaining and servicing yo r locomotive

Your locomotive is illuminated by three 12-volt lamps, located at the front and rear of the

locomotive and in the cab. During the course of normal operations, these lamps may

require replacement. Replacement lamps are available from your authorized ionel Service

Center or ionel Service. For more information, see the ionel Service section on the back page.

To replace the cab interior lamp (part no. 600-8352-311), pinch together the center of the

cab and lift it off the body. The lamp wires will attach the cab to the body. Remove the socket

and wires from the holder, then remove and replace the expired lamp. Replace the socket and

reinstall the cab. Make sure all the wires are inside the body before you snap it into place.

Replacing the headlamps is a bit more tricky, and you may want to consider having them

serviced by an authorized ionel Service Station. If you are proficient with wire splicing and/or

soldering—and you don’t mind spending a little time and effort—you may want to try it

yourself.

To replace the headlamps, remove the six body screws shown in Figure 4 on page 8. ift

away the body, making sure that you do not disconnect the wires that attach the body to the

frame. Pull the burned-out headlamp out of the holder and clip the wires of the old lamp.

Refer to Figure 6 on page 10. Splice in the replacement leads, making sure that the two leads

are insulated from each other. (If they touch, they will cause a short circuit.) We suggest

wrapping electrical tape around them to help insulate them. Insert the replacement lamp

(part no. 610-8803-009) back into the holder and make sure all the wires are tucked inside of

the cab. Carefully align the six screw posts on the body and the corresponding openings on the

frame, then insert and tighten the screws.
