Congratulations!
ongratulations on your purchase of the Lionel Thomas & Friends™ Ready-To-Run Remote Control
C
Train Set!
This set includes everything you need to run your train, including a generous FasTrack loop that
assembles in a flash. The power adapter plugs into the wall, and then connects directly to a special track
section. Thomas is controlled using his very own blue Lionel remote. Go forward, reverse, or stop. Sound
the whistle or bell — or have Sir Topham Hatt announce “All aboard!” at the press of a button. Thomas’
moving eyes ensure that your journey on everyone’s #1 engine is a safe one, and the removable roofs of
Annie and Clarabel allow you to load and unload your passengers.
Use this Owner’s Manual to learn how to set up, operate, and maintain your train set for years of reliable operation.
Parents!
The wall-pack power supply included with this set should be
periodically examined for conditions that may result in the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons (such as damage to the
output cord, blades, housing, or other parts). In the event that such
conditions exist, the wall-pack power supply should not be used
until properly repaired.
