Running your steam locomotive with a Lionel transformer
Power up your steam locomotive with your transformer.
• Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-16 volts alternating
current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current trans-
formers 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, your locomotive’s headlights will
illuminate. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. When your train is first
powered up, the default state will be neutral and the default direction is forward.
This means whenever you power up your engine the engine will remain in neutral, and when the power is removed and again applied, the train will move forward. This condition holds true if the engine is being powered up for the first time
or if the engine has been powered down longer than five seconds.
• Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRbutton on your CAB-1 remote or
Lionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel 103-1 reverse unit to the next operating state. The 103-1 unit alternates between three states: forward, neutral, and
reverse.
• 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, cut track power.
• See page 4 for information on locking your locomotive in a single
operating state
