Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-42 or larger track curves.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the
LEGACY Base and connect it to the track.
2. Place your locomotive and tender on the track
and connect the drawbar as shown in Figure 1.
3. Increase track power voltage to full power
(no more than 19 volts AC). 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.
4. As illustrated in Figure 2, press ENG and 1
(or your selected ENG ID#) to address the
locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote
Controller.
5. Press the Start Up key on your LEGACY CAB-2
Remote, shown in Figure 3. Then, throttle up
and move 'em out! Your engine sound will start up,
and the locomotive-specific touch screen buttons will
populate the remote. For more information on operating
your locomotive with the LEGACY system, please refer
to the LEGACY section of this manual. Additional
information is also found in the LEGACY System Manual,
available online at www.lionel.com.

or the finest operating experience, your locomotive is fully
compatible with the LEGACY Control System. To operate
in LEGACY mode, you need a LEGACY Command Base and
LEGACY CAB-2 Remote Controller (6-14295).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-2 Remote Controller
to the Command Base, which sends a digital code through
the rails to your locomotive. Your locomotive will not respond
until it recognizes its unique ID#, so you can operate multiple
Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the
same time.

Running your locomotive
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-42 or larger track curves.
TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC/Command Control) operations
F
or operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you need a TrainMaster
Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Refer to your TMCC
System Manual for complete information. To access all the locomotive's features, you
must operate in the LEGACY environment, as discussed on the previous page.
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which
translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails to your
locomotive, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster Command
Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track
at the same time.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the
track.
2. Place your locomotive and tender on the track and connect the drawbar as
shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). 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.
4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote
Controller.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.
For more information, please refer to the TrainMaster Command Control operations section of
this manual or the TMCC System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com.

Running your locomotive
Conventional transformer operations
For Conventional operation, a Command Base must not be powered up anywhere in
the area, even if it is not connected to the track. If a base is detected, your
locomotive will default to Command mode.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of
19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-42 or larger track curves.
1. With track power off, place your locomotive and tender on the track. Connect
the drawbar as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
2. Power up the track. 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.
3. Move ‘em out! When the locomotive’s headlight illuminates and the LEGACY RailSounds
sound system starts, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your
locomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: neutral, forward, neutral, reverse,
neutral, and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive to the
next operating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time and after power
interruptions lasting longer than five seconds, it will start out in neutral.
We recommend that you operate your LEGACY locomotive with The Odyssey II
Speed Control System turned on. You may choose to operate your locomotive without speed
control by placing the Odyssey II Speed Control System switch to the NO ODY (OFF) position. See
Figure 6 on page 8 for the location of this switch.
Use the Whistle and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Adjust the
volume using the volume control knob, which is located under the hatch on the deck of the tender.
Refer to Figure 4 on page 7. For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer
operations section of this manual.

Locomotive basics
Y
our locomotive is equipped with two smoke generators that
produce a safe, clean, white smoke during operation: one for
the main smoke stack and one for the whistle smoke unit. DO NOT
EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause your smoke units to become
oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note that operating your locomotive’s smoke units without smoke fluid will cause
damage to the heating element.
• To add fluid for the whistle steam effect, pull the
whistle off the boiler and place the included funnel into the
hole. For the first time we recommend using 20 drops of
smoke fluid. From then on 10 to 20 drops will be sufficient.
• For the main smoke stack at the front of the engine,
add 20 drops initially, and 10 to 20 thereafter.
Refer to Figure 5 as you add the smoke fluid. If you prefer to
operate your locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit
switches under the rear sand dome and slide them to the OFF
position. Refer to Figure 6 on page 8 for the location of these
switches.
For best performance, we recommend using Lionel smoke
fluid only.

or operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give your
locomotive a unique ID#. Your locomotive will respond to commands associated with its ID#
while all other units will disregard these commands. This procedure is not necessary for
conventional (non-Command) operation.
1. Slide the program run switch on your locomotive to the PGM position. See
Figure 6 on page 8.
2. Place the locomotive on the track.
3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.
4. Power up the track.
5. Press ENG on the CAB-1 or CAB-2 remote.
6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that has not been
assigned to another locomotive (ENG). We recommend using a part of your
locomotive’s road number.
All LEGACY locomotives respond to ENG 99. We recommend that you reserve ID# 99 as a
"universal" ID#.
7. Press SET. The locomotive’s whistle will sound, or the headlights will flash if
the RailSounds sound system is off.
8. Slide the program run switch back to the RUN position.
The locomotive’s ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.

Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only)
I
n the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control your locomotives
as one unit in a prototypical manner. It is still possible to control any of the engines in
the lash-up individually. When you issue a train command, the individual engine you were
controlling will return to the group. If there is a difference in speed, the individual Engine will
return to the speed of the lash-up at the rate set in the train momentum.
To build a lash-up, assign a unique engine (ENG) ID# to each unit. See page 9 for details.
Build a Lashup
1. Address the train ID# you wish to create or
change, 1 to 99.
2. Press INFO.
3. Press BUILD softkey (button directly under
BUILD).
4. Enter the front engine number. It is not
necessary to enter ENG, just enter the #. It will
appear in the blinking box.
5. Press ADD to add the front engine. The engine
will move to the right and the blinking box will
be ready for your next engine to be added.
6. Enter the second engine ID# in the blinking box.
7. Press ADD to add the second engine. The engine
will move to the right and the blinking box will be
ready for your next engine to be added.
8. Add all the engines you want in your lash-up in
this matter.
9. To change the direction of an engine in your lash-
up, turn the Velocity Throttle to move the engine
you want into the blinking box. Then press FWD
or REV to change the direction of the engine.
10. To delete an engine in your lash-up, turn the
Velocity Throttle to move the engine you want to
delete into the blinking box. Then press DEL.
11. To save your lash-up, press SET. Watch the
onscreen prompts and wait until you see the
message TRAIN CREATED.
