Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer
Locomotive set operations
Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
PLACE YOUR TRAIN SET ON LIONEL OR LIONEL-COMPATIBLE
O GAUGE TRACK.
THROTTLE 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.
Throttle up your locomotive and it will begin to move in the forward direction.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To
increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, decrease voltage.
Pressing the DIRECTION button on your transformer will sequence the
electronic E-unit to the next operating state in the repeating sequence of
forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.
To stop the locomotive, cycle the electronic E-unit to neutral or turn-off track
power.
Caution!
