Move ‘em out!
Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your 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 in a single
operational state.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O-31 or larger 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 the locomotive has
determined that it’s on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive’s
headlight will illuminate and the RailSounds sound system will start. 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 fivesecond power interruption.)
To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend using the
TrainMaster Command Control system, available at your authorized Lionel dealer.

Caution!
Note!
With track power OFF,
connect the drawbar between
locomotive and tender as
illustrated in Figure 1. That’s all
you have to do with the Lionel
Wireless Tether, an infrared
communication system that
eliminates the plugs and wires of
the past. Figure 1. Drawbar connection
T
o select a single operational state for your Lionel locomotive (for example, forward only),
you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function with the Command
reverse unit (PROG/RUN) switch.
Get your locomotive moving in the desired direction, then slow it down without stopping.
Set the Command reverse unit switch to PROG. Refer to Figure 2 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 tender-mounted ElectroCoupler in the
non-Command environment
T
o uncouple rolling stock from your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler in the non-
Command environment, you must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel
magnetic couplers coupled directly to your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler. The magnetic
coupler on the rolling stock will then react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel
Remote-Control Track section (available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge; 6-65149 or 6-12746
for O-27 gauge; or 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts). Place your rolling stock’s coupler “trigger
disc” over the central coil of a Remote-Control Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. As illustrated in Figure 3, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the
coupler opens.
Your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler will NOT open manually or by using a
Remote-Control Track section.

Activation Buttons (available separately) if your transformer is not equipped to activate these
features. Connect the button(s) as shown below.
All track power must feed through the Sound Activation Buttons. Do not bypass the
buttons.

Your locomotive’s RailSounds sound system—the basics
T
he Lionel RailSounds sound system is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the
world. Your locomotive features digital samples from real-life steam locomotives for the
ultimate in realism.
Begin by installing a nine-volt alkaline battery in the tender as illustrated in Figure 4 on
page 9. This ensures interruption-free operation of the RailSounds sound system. The battery
harness is located inside the tender. To access the battery harness, you must first remove the body
screws from the bottom of the tender and then lift off the top of the tender. Refer to the Figure 4 on
page 9 for the location of the body screws. Snap the battery harness onto the battery terminals,
then slide the battery into the holder and replace the tender body, securing it with the body screws.
When you first apply track power, the locomotive’s RailSounds sound system will produce 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 the RailSounds
sound system switch, located on the underside of the tender (see Figure 4 on page 9 for the
location), to the SIGNALSOUNDS position before powering up the locomotive. The whistle
and bell are activated by using the lever or button on your transformer or CAB-1 Remote
Controller. The volume control knob is located under the water hatch on top of the tender (see
Figure 4 on page 9).
Please remove the protective cover from the battery harness before installing the battery.
Although the RailSounds sound system is powered by track voltage, the battery is
required for uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline
batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for ten seconds before changing the RailSounds switch
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 Control environment
Y
our locomotive’s RailSounds sound system 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 and relaxed chuffing sounds. Highball down the mainline and hear
the labored chuffing of a locomotive battling inertia. Reduce your throttle setting, and
chuffing relaxes to a more sedate sound, as though the load placed on the locomotive has
decreased. Experience DynaChuff on steep grades, at yard crawls, and at speed. Another
RailSounds sound system exclusive.
• Bonus sounds like squealing brakes with the CAB-1 Remote Controller BRAKE command.
• Incidental sounds you control with CAB-1 Remote Controller numeric keypad commands,
like steam blow-off and steam release effects.
