VISION Line™ features of this locomotive
New Steam and Smoke Features! Lionel introduces TruRail Steam, a new CAB-controlled,
variable-intensity steam and smoke effect. See all the features operators can simulate:
• Dramatic and realistic blow-down effects
• New and accurate whistle steam effects
• Two fan-driven smoke units with adjustable smoke output deliver varying intensities of
smoke to the main stack and to the blow-down valve and whistle
• All steam effects are synchronized to the RailSounds sound system and are completely
user controllable
Upgraded Sound Features! The LEGACY RailSounds sound system synchronizes realistic
sounds to nearly all aspects of locomotive operation. Just look at how many ways you can
enhance the sound experience:
• TruRail Steam Control realistic sounds synchronized to features including blow-down
and whistle steam effects

lower the level of background effects (such as chufng) while keeping operator controlled
effects (such as the whistle) at full volume
• TruRail Dialog – Activate our upgraded dialog features which boast the most authentic
railroad terminology possible. Also, dialog scenarios can change with engine operation
and user control
• TruRail Signals – Activate the “quilling” whistle and user-playable bell featuring
continuous or single strike sounds with variable intensity. There’s a dedicated CAB-2
slide lever control for both whistle and bell functions
• TruRail Laboring – Control the variable laboring sounds with 32 levels of simulated
dynamic load of the locomotive
• TruRail Chuff – Experience prototypical four-chuffs per revolution chufng sound
synchronized with linkage and drive wheel position.
The most detail on any steam locomotive we've ever made!
• Movable shutters on the cab windows
• Decorated cab interior with enhanced panel details
• Upgraded rebox lighting and new opening rebox door

the drawbar between the locomotive and tender as illustrated in Figure 1.
3. Power your locomotive at 12-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)
transformer.
4. Wait three to eight seconds until the locomotive’s headlight illuminates and the
LEGACY RailSounds sound system starts up.
5. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTION button on your controller, then throttle up.
For conventional operation there must not be a powered up Command Base
anywhere in the area. The locomotive receives its signals through the airwaves. If
a base is detected your locomotive will default to command mode.

The switches that control the features and programing of your locomotive are located under
the sand dome hatch in front of the cab. When you lift up the hatch these switches are
visable with their icons. Icons on the left hand side show the ON or RUN positions. Icons on
the right hand side show the OFF or PROGRAM positions. On the inside of the lift off hatch,
there are also words that help describe the function of each switch.
Looking down at the locomotive with the front facing to the right the switches are as follows:
Program Run Switch
Used to assign an ID# and reprogram the locomotive in LEGACY and
Command operation when the switch is in the “PROG” position.
Also used to “lock” your locomotive in a single direction, or neutral,
in conventional operation when the switch is placed in the “PROG”
position. See pages 21, 27, and 31.
Odyssey II Speed Control System Switch
Used to turn the Odyssey II Speed Control System “on” and “off”.
Smoke Unit Switch
Used to turn the main smoke stack unit function “on” and “off”.
This switch is "read" by your engine at start-up. Switching it after
start-up will have no effect.
Whistle Steam Switch
Used to turn the whistle and blowdown steam effect “on” and “off”.
This switch is "read" by your engine at start-up. Switching it after
start-up will have no effect. NOTE: This switch does NOT control
Sound!

LEGACY RailSounds sound system operations
Installing the battery
A
lthough the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, we
recommend that you install a nine-volt alkaline battery in the tender to prevent the
sound system from shutting down during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch
or a dirty section of track). Follow these steps and refer to Figure 4 page 11 as you install
the battery.
If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you
may need to replace the battery.
1. Lift the upper deck off the tender body. Refer to Figure 4 page 11.
Be careful to avoid pulling on any wires.
2. Remove the protective cover from the battery harness.
3. Snap the battery harness onto the nine-volt alkaline battery’s terminals.
4. Slide the battery into the battery holder.
5. Replace the upper deck on the body. Be careful to avoid pinching wires.

LEGACY Control System operations
This section is a brief overview of the LEGACY Control System. For a more in-depth
explanation of the LEGACY Control System features, please see your LEGACY Control
System Operations Manual.
GET READY TO RUN
G
et your engine running now by following the instructions in this guide. We'll power up
the track, "address the engine" so it can be controlled by your CAB-2 remote, and learn
to use the Velocity Throttle, Whistle, Bell, Brake and Direction commands.
Power Up The Track
If using a PowerMaster, TPC, or ZW refer to the proper manual for the correct method
to power up. With your locomotive on the track and ready to roll, power up your track to a
constant 18 volts. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check
the wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to
make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.
Address Your Engine
First, you must address the engine. This "tells" your CAB-2 which locomotive you want
to control. This is important when you have more than one engine on your layout.
To address an engine:
1. Press ENG
2. Press 1
See reference numbers 1, 2, and 3
Start 'Er Up
Now it is time to start up your engine's sound system.
3. Press Start Up
Your engine sound system will start up and the Touch-screen Control Panel will appear.
