Operating your Halloween Boxcar
Y
our Halloween Boxcar was designed to operate at approximately 6 to 18 volts (AC). When
you power up the boxcar on the track, you will hear the howling of the wind.
Always operate the Halloween Boxcar with a lighted locomotive, an illuminated car,
or lighted track bumpers. This power draw will prevent the sounds from operating
erratically.
Howling werewolf
Press the WHISTLE button on your transformer to trigger the howling of the werewolf. The sound
will play for as long as you hold the button. If your transformer is not equipped with this button, we
recommend that you install a 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button (available separately) as
discussed on page 6.
Transformers produced by other manufacturers may not be capable of activating this
feature. We recommend using a Lionel 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button
(available separately) if the WHISTLE button on your transformer does not work.
Screams
Press the BELL button on your transformer to trigger a scary scream. If your transformer is not
equipped with this button, we recommend that you install a 610-5906-001 Sound Activation
Button (available separately) as discussed on page 6.
Transformers produced by other manufacturers may not be capable of activating this
feature. We recommend using a Lionel 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button
(available separately) if the BELL button on your transformer does not work.
Cackling witch
To activate the cackling of the witch, operate your locomotive at a rapid rate of speed for at least
ten seconds, and then throttle down to a lower speed. The cackling will discontinue
automatically after a few moments.
If you are unable to activate the cackling sounds, your locomotive’s speed may be too
low. Increase the speed of the locomotive, operate for at least ten seconds, and then
reduce the throttle by half.
Scary sounds
Your Halloween Boxcar features several scary sound effects that play at random. Power up the
car and listen for the sounds of a screeching cat, a beating heart, a moaning ghost, an evil
laugh, a hooting owl, and a bubbling cauldron.
