ongratulations on your purchase of the Operation Eagle Justice Train Set! A GP-7 diesel,
equipped with TrainSounds and Diesel Exhaust, leads the entourage to a top-secret desti­nation with four camouflaged missiles strapped to its sides near the roof. Day and night, the Operation Eagle radar car scans the skies for infiltrators, while the fully-loaded missile firing car awaits special orders. Carefully and quickly, a highly volatile substance is transported in two armored containers on the deck of a flatcar, while the Operation Eagle security caboose guards the train from any tail-end attack.
In dramatic decoration, the Operation Eagle Justice train set offers a wide variety of action on your traditional layout. Each car in this special set includes an operating feature, includ­ing the Chalmers-type car that fires missiles, a rotating antenna on the radar car, the illumi­nated searchlight on the security car, and lighted containers on the traditional flatcar.
Use this Owner’s Manual to learn how to set up, operate, and maintain your train set for years of reliable operation.
Use only the projectiles included with this product. Do not aim the projectile and/or launching mechanism at any person. Adult supervision is recommended.

Coupling
W
hen coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left in Figure 1 Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward
each other until they lock together.
Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.
Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating cur­rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers
are suitable.
Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers. The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC) transformers only.
Move ‘em out!
Get your locomotive moving. Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse unit, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle all the way back to the OFF position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION button or interruption in track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next operational state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Operating the TrainSounds sound system
W
hen you power up the locomotive on the track, you will hear the sounds of the idling diesel motor. As you increase speed, the RPM sounds will ramp up through two levels.
Horn
Press the HORN button on your transformer to sound the horn. The sound will play for as long as you hold the button.
Bell
Press the BELL button on your transformer to activate the bell sound. Press BELL again to dis­continue the sound.
Brake squeal
To activate the sound of squealing brakes, operate your locomotive at the highest RPM level for at least ten seconds, and then slow to a lower level. The brake sounds will discontinue automatically after a few moments.
If you are unable to activate the brake sounds, your locomotive’s speed may be too low. Increase the speed of your locomotive, operate for at least ten seconds, and then reduce the throttle by half.
Crew dialogue
When the locomotive is not in motion, you may activate random crew dialogue using the HORN button on your controller.
The locomotive must be powered up on the track and not in motion for the dialogue to play. Do not turn off track power.
