33Move ‘em out!Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your Lioneltransformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit to the next operating state.

Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. Toincrease speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop thelocomotive, turn-off track power.

See page 5 for information on locking your locomotive in a singleoperational state.

Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track.

22Power up your locomotive with your transformer.Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternatingcurrent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are suitable.

Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur.

When you first power up your track, the locomotive will waitbetween three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from theTrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When the locomotive hasdetermined that it’s on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive’sheadlight will illuminate and the RailSounds sound system will start. At this point,the locomotive is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the locomotive on yourrailroad for the first time. Thereafter, it will start in forward following every five-second power interruption.)

To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend using theTrainMaster Command Control system, available at your authorized Lionel dealer.

Caution!

Note!

With track power OFF,connect the drawbar betweenlocomotive and tender asillustrated in Figure 1. That’s allyou have to do with the LionelWireless Tether, an infraredcommunication system thateliminates the plugs and wires ofthe past. Figure 1. Drawbar connection

To select a single operational state foryour Lionel locomotive (for example,

forward only), you can deactivate theCommand reverse unit’s sequencingfunction with the Command reverse unit(PROG/RUN) switch.

Get your locomotive moving in thedesired direction, then slow it downwithout stopping. Set the Command reverseunit switch to PROG. Refer to Figure 2 for

the location of the switch. The locomotive isnow “locked” into your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-directionoperation, just slide the Command reverseunit switch back to RUN.

Your locomotive’s reverse unit will“reset” to forward after any powerinterruption lasting five secondsor longer, regardless of theoriginal locked-out direction.

Using your tender-mounted ElectroCoupler in the non-Command environment

To uncouple rolling stock from yourlocomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler in

the non-Command environment, you must

rely on a piece of rolling stock equippedwith Lionel magnetic couplers coupleddirectly to your locomotive tender’sElectroCoupler. The magnetic coupler onthe rolling stock will then react to themagnetic field generated by a LionelRemote-Control Track section (availableseparately, 6-65530 for O gauge; 6-65149 or6-12746 for O-27 gauge; or 6-12020 forFasTrack layouts). Place your rolling stock’scoupler “trigger disc” over the central coilof a Remote-Control Track section and pressUNCOUPLE on the controller. The magneticfield pulls the disc downward, and thecoupler opens.

Your locomotive tender’sElectroCoupler will NOT openmanually or by using aRemote-Control Track section.

Your locomotive’s RailSounds sound system—the basics

The Lionel RailSounds sound system is themost realistic model railroad sound

system in the world. Your locomotive featuresdigital samples from real-life steamlocomotives for the ultimate in realism.

Begin by installing a nine-volt alkalinebattery in the tender as illustrated in Figure 4on page 9. This ensures interruption-freeoperation of the RailSounds sound system.The battery harness is located inside thetender. To access the battery harness, youmust first remove the body screws from thebottom of the tender and then lift off the topof the tender. Refer to the Figure 4 on page 9for the location of the body screws. Snap thebattery harness onto the battery terminals,then slide the battery into the holder andreplace the tender body, securing it with the

body screws.When you first apply track power, the

locomotive’s RailSounds sound system willproduce the sounds of the locomotive at rest.As the locomotive moves, chuffing begins,increasing with the locomotive’s speed.

To silence the steam chuffing sound(whistle/bell are unaffected), slide theRailSounds sound system switch, locatedunder the water hatch on top of the tender(see Figure 4 on page 9 for the location), tothe SIGNALSOUNDS position beforepowering up the locomotive. The whistleand bell are activated by using the lever orbutton on your transformer or CAB-1 RemoteController. The volume control knob is alsolocated under the water hatch on top of thetender (see Figure 4 on page 9).

Please remove the protective cover from the battery clip before installing the battery.

Although the RailSounds sound system is powered by track voltage, the battery isrequired for uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkalinebatteries.

Discontinue locomotive power for ten seconds before changing the RailSoundsswitch position.

If the RailSounds sound system “drops out” during track power interruptions(during direction changes, switches, crossings, etc.), replace the battery.

The RailSounds sound system in the Command environment

Your locomotive’s RailSounds soundsystem gives you even more in the

TrainMaster Command Control environment.• DynaChuff. Real steam locomotive

chuffing depends on the locomotive’s load.DynaChuff simulates both labored andrelaxed chuffing sounds. Highball down themainline and hear the labored chuffing ofa locomotive battling inertia. Reduce yourthrottle setting, and chuffing relaxes to amore sedate sound, as though the load

placed on the locomotive has decreased.Experience DynaChuff on steep grades, atyard crawls, and at speed. AnotherRailSounds sound system exclusive.

• Bonus sounds like squealing brakeswith the CAB-1 Remote ControllerBRAKE command.

• Incidental sounds you control withCAB-1 Remote Controller numeric keypadcommands, like steam blow-off andsteam release effects.

Notes on the RailSounds sound system

• Use the volume control knob locatedunder the water hatch on the top of thetender to adjust sound output. Refer toFigure 4 on page 9. Use a flat-bladescrewdriver to adjust the volume level.

Do not force the volume controlknob past the point where it willeasily turn, or damage to thevolume control will result.

• Listen for incidental locomotive soundsduring the operation of the RailSoundssound system. They’re automatic and, ofcourse, authentic.

• The nine-volt alkaline battery youinstalled ensures continuous sounds,even during short track-powerinterruptions. The battery must beinstalled for the shutdown sequence.

• Longer track-power interruptions (including locomotive derailments)cause the RailSounds sound system toshut down after about seven seconds.

• For even more authentic RailSoundssound system effects, operate yourlocomotive in the TrainMaster CommandControl environment. See pages 13-16for details.

RailSounds sound system operations

W ith the RailSounds sound system, youexperience the sounds of real

railroading like never before. Simply put,it’s the most sophisticated, authentic modelrailroad sound system in the world. • Variable chuff rate. The speed of

your locomotive determines the steamchuff rate.

• MultiWhistle. Different whistles for different speeds—a RailSoundssound system exclusive.

• Authentic bell. Press BELL on yourCAB-1 Remote Controller or transformerto begin the effect, again to discontinue.Even the final “hit” is muted like thereal thing.

• Reverse unit reset sound. Powerdown your track, wait for three to five

seconds, and listen for the air-releasesound—that’s the locomotive tellingyou its Command reverse unit has justreset to forward operation.

• Shutdown sequence. No other modelrailroad sound system shuts down likethe RailSounds sound system. Turn offtrack power, and after the air-releasereset sound, you have two seconds torestart your locomotive. If you’re donewith operations, the RailSounds soundsystem will commence with an authenticshutdown sequence about two secondsafter the air-release reset occurs.

The Odyssey System is automatically operational when you operate your locomotive inconventional (non-Command Control) mode, as long as the Odyssey switch is in the ON

position (see Figure 2 on page 5). This means that your locomotive will maintain a constantspeed, compensating for grades, loads, and turns. Simply use your transformer’s throttle toadjust the speed of your locomotive. If you would like to deactivate the speed control feature,slide the Odyssey switch to the OFF position while the locomotive is not in motion.

In conventional operation, the lights in both the engine and tender areconnected directly to track power. Do not exceed 14-16 volts for extendedperiods. Doing so will reduce the life of your lamps.

Because of the way that speed control operates in conventional mode, you willnotice a slight delay between adjusting your transformer throttle and the change inthe speed of your locomotive. If you desire instantaneous response to throttlechanges, turn off the Odyssey System.

The Odyssey System

The Odyssey System is a “cruise control”for your locomotive. Once the speed is

set (see below), your locomotive willmaintain a constant speed, no matter whatloads the locomotive pulls or what grades

you have on your layout. This digitally-controlled system also allows for extremelyslow movement that will amaze any “scale”enthusiast.

TrainMaster Command operationsThe Command Control environment

TrainMaster Command Control is theadvanced model railroad control system

from Lionel. TrainMaster Command Controlgives you the power to operate multipleCommand-equipped locomotives on thesame track, at the same time.

To operate in Command mode, youneed a Command Base (6-12911)and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Find them both at yourauthorized Lionel retailer.

Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track.

22Address your locomotive using your CAB-1 RemoteController.

• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 RemoteController. This command is sent by your CAB-1 Remote Controller to theCommand Base, which then translates your command into digital code.That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in the form of adigital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionel locomotives listen to thisdigital communication, but they do not respond until they hear theirindividual ID number—in this case, “1.”

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command Control—andnot track power—controls the actions of Command-equippedLionel engines. Track power is simply like gasoline in the tank of yourcar—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to goor how fast to get there.

All Command locomotives come factory-programmed with anID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your locomotive, see page 17.

33Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on the CAB-1Remote Controller. Your locomotive will respond to your everycommand.

11• Make sure track power is OFF before placing on the track.• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is plugged-in and its

communications wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lioneltransformer or the U terminal on any of your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (nomore than 19 volts). On PowerMasters, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD.

Tuning your locomotive’s performance

MOMENTUMTrainMaster Command Control’s

momentum feature simulates the laboredperformance of a locomotive pulling aheavy load. Press L, M, or H (located underthe CAB-1 Remote Controller’s removablepanel) for light, medium, or heavymomentum. The locomotive’s Commandreverse unit remembers this setting untilyou change it. For quick locomotiveresponse, choose L.

BRAKING AND BOOSTINGThere’s more to starting and stopping

than just turning the CAB-1 RemoteController throttle. Use the BOOST andBRAKE command buttons—they give youincremental control of speed and are thesuperior way to handle grades, gradualstops-and-starts, and more. Plus, usingBRAKE in the Command environment givesyou a bonus RailSounds sound systemeffect—the ultra-realistic sound ofsquealing brakes.

SOUND QUALITYTo set your maximum volume level, use

the volume control knob (see Figure 4 onpage 9). Turn the knob left or right to adjustthe volume to your liking.

For quick remote-control of volume belowthe master setting—like muting—use theCAB-1 Remote Controller numeric keypad’svolume control. Press AUX1, 4 on thekeypad to lower overall RailSounds soundsystem output.

HIGH VOLTAGE SETTINGPress SET, and the headlight will flash.

Get your locomotive moving to themaximum speed you want it to run, thenpress BOOST. Use this to keep yourlocomotive from derailing at excessivespeeds. Turn off the high voltage setting bypressing SET, then BOOST, holding eachfor one second.

STALLMake your locomotive feel more

responsive by setting a “stall” voltage. Getyour locomotive moving, then press SET;the locomotive will stop. Turn the throttleclockwise to get the locomotive moving,then decrease speed until the locomotivejust stops. Press SET again; the Commandreverse unit remembers the stall settinguntil you change it.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

Your locomotive is equipped with asmoke generator that produces safe,

clean, white smoke during operation.The smoke generator requires the periodic

addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order tofunction. A small tube of smoke fluid wasincluded with this locomotive. Pierce the fluidtube’s end with a pin, then add eight to tendrops of fluid directly into the smoke stack.Smoke production will commencemomentarily, faster if you run yourlocomotive at speed. When smoke productiondecreases, add more fluid (eight to ten drops).

When you place your locomotive on thetrack for the first time, the smoke unit willbe on. Thereafter, the smoke unit will returnto its last operating state each time youpower it up. For example, if you turn off thesmoke unit before you power down thelocomotive, the smoke unit will be off thenext time you power it up. If the smoke unitwas on before you powered down thelocomotive, the smoke unit will be on the

next time you power it up. When operatingyour locomotive in the TrainMasterCommand Control environment, press AUX1, 8 on your CAB-1 Remote Controllerto turn off the smoke unit; press AUX1, 9 toturn on the smoke unit.

To control the operation of thesmoke unit with your CAB-1Remote Controller, be sure thatthe smoke unit switch is in theON position. Refer to Figure 2 onpage 5 for the location of theswitch. Commands from the CAB-1 Remote Controller will notoverride the switch setting.

Always keep a small amount of smokefluid in the locomotive smoke generator; thegenerator’s element can become damaged ifoperated without fluid. Smoke production isgreater at higher voltages and when thelocomotive is pulling a heavy load or longconsist.

Note! Always keep smoke fluid in your locomotive’s smoke generator. If not, turn it offwhen smoke is not desired using the smoke unit switch shown in Figure 2 on page 5or the AUX1, 8 command if you are running in Command mode.

Note!

Maintaining your locomotive’s handrail antenna

Your locomotive handrails are more thanjust a protypically accurate detail—

they’re the Command reverse unit’s antennafor receiving Command Base digitalcommunications. Please handle thelocomotive carefully to avoid handraildamage. To ensure optimum reception, bothhandrails are insulated from the die-castmetal shell. If your locomotive experiences

difficulty receiving Command Basecommunications, check that the ends of thehandrails are insulated from the cab witheither an insulating bushing or aninsulating handrail stanchion. Ensure thateach insulator is present and in position.Finally, prevent the handrails from touchingany part of the die-cast metal locomotivecab.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Help your Lionel locomotive lead a longand productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly. We recommend that you purchase a

Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your Lioneldealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind:never over-lubricate (a small amount willdo), and avoid getting grease or oil on thelocomotive wheels, contact rollers, or yourtrack.

You’ll know your locomotive requireslubrication when visual inspection revealsdryness on the parts indicated in Figure 5.Remove accumulated dirt and dust beforelubricating, and always lubricate anylocomotive emerging from prolongedstorage. Also, lightly lubricate thelocomotive side rods, drive rods, linkage,front and rear truck pivot points, and tenderwheel bearings after each 25 hours ofoperation.

Your locomotive is illuminated by fourlamps. One is located in the headlighthousing mounted on the boiler front. Alamp illuminates the interior of the cab.Two red lights (one assembly) show throughthe ash pan grating and shine brighter whenthe speed of the locomotive increases.During the course of normal operations,they may require replacement.

Removing the body screws as shown onpage 20 will allow access to the inside of thecab and the expired lamps. However, due tothe close fit of many components and theinter-connected wiring, we recommend thatyou take your locomotive to your authorized

Lionel Service Center for any required lampreplacement.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Your locomotive is equipped with Tire-Traction. This means that two of the

drive wheels are fitted with rubber tractiontires to enhance tractive effort so yourlocomotive can pull many cars at once.

Lionel has provided extra traction tires toreplace the installed traction tires if they

wear out. Simply unscrew the drive rod nutfrom the wheel using a 3/16” nut driver, slipoff the old traction tire and remove it fromunder the drive rod. Place the traction tireon the wheel and re-tighten the drive rodnut. You’re now ready to pull that longfreight back to the yard.

Tire-Traction

An O gauge coupler (non-operating) isincluded with your locomotive for those

who may wish to “double-head” their trainswith a second Pacific or another locomotive.Straighten out the wire coupler pin with apair of needle nose pliers. The coupler pinruns through the scale coupler. Using a

small Phillips head screwdriver, loosen andremove the screw holding the scale coupler.Remove the scale coupler. Position the O gauge coupler and secure with the pre-viously removed screw. Refer to Figure 6.

Store the scale coupler in a safe place forpossible reassembly at a later date.
