Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer
Transformer operations
Caution!
Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O gauge track.
Power up your 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.

Move ‘em out!
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.
