Move ‘em out!
Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTIONbutton on your CAB-1
Remote Controller or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit
to the next operating state.
Adjust track voltage 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 for information on locking your locomotive into a single
operational state.
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.
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 wait
between three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the
TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it has determined that it’s
on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive’s headlight will
illuminate and RailSounds will fire up. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral.
(This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the first time.
Thereafter, it will start in forward following every three-second power
interruption.)

Caution!
Note!
T
o select a single operational state for
your Lionel locomotive (example:
forward only), you can deactivate the
Command reverse unit’s sequencing
function with the reverse unit switch.
Get your locomotive moving in the
desired direction, then slow it down
without stopping. Set the Command reverse
unit switch to PRG. 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 Command reverse
unit switch back to RUN.
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.

Using your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment, you must rely
on a piece of rolling stock equipped with
Lionel magnetic couplers coupled directly to
your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers. The
magnetic coupler on the rolling stock will
then react to the magnetic field generated
by a Lionel Remote-Control or Uncoupling
Track section (available separately, 6-65530
for O gauge, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27
gauge). Place your rolling stock’s coupler
“trigger disc” over the central coil of a
Remote-Control or Uncoupling Track
section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. The magnetic field pulls the disc
downward, and the coupler opens.
Your locomotive’s
ElectroCouplers will NOT open
manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section.
