ou own one of the finest and most
sophisticated model trains ever built—
the Lionel TrainMaster®Command and
Odyssey™System-equipped 4-6-2 Pacific.
From its hand-applied scale details to the
advanced technology found inside, your locomotive is ready for duty on your model railroad layout. Experience the superiority of
today’s Lionel.
Congratulations!

Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer
Place your locomotive on Lionel or
Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track.
• With track power OFF, connect the drawbar between locomotive and tender.
That’s all you have to do with Lionel’s new Wireless Tether®, an infrared communication system that eliminates the plugs and wires of the past.
NOTE: Your locomotive is designed to operate on minimum 0-54 diameter track.

Power 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 trans-
formers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad
control system.
• Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
• When you first power up your track, the locomotive will wait
between three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from
the TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that
it’s on a conventional (non-Command)railroad, the locomotive headlight will illuminate and RailSounds will start up. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral.
(This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the first time.
Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power interrupt.)
Note!
Move ‘em out!
• Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or
Lionel transformer. This sequences the R2IR to the next operating state.
• Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Transformer operations
T
o select a single operational state for
your Lionel locomotive (example: forward only), you can deactivate the R2IR’s
sequencing function with the Program/Run
switch, located on the right hand side, under
the locomotive’s cab.
Get your locomotive moving in the desired
direction, then slow it down without stopping. Set the Program/Run switch to PROG.
The locomotive is now “locked” into your
chosen direction.
When you no longer want single-direction
operation, just slide the Program/Run switch
back to RUN.

Your locomotive’s Odyssey™ System speed control
Y
ou can lock your locomotive into speed
control mode (ideal for low speed operation) so it will automatically compensate for
grades, or to simply maintain a specific
speed setting. To turn on the speed control,
get your locomotive moving at the desired
speed, in forward or reverse. Let it run at
the desired speed for at least 5 seconds. Press
and hold the horn/whistle button for 2-3 seconds as you increase the throttle by at least
3 volts. Your locomotivewill accelerate
briefly, then will return to your set speed once
you release the horn/whistle button. As long
as the throttle position is maintained at a
higher setting than the initial level, your
locomotive will maintain a constant speed. If
the throttle is turned below the original level,
your locomotive will slow down due to the
available voltage decrease below the “set”
level. To check if the speed control setting
has been “accepted,” turn up the throttle.
You will see the lights brighten, but the speed
will remain constant. For best results, adjust
the track voltage about 3-4 volts above the
“set” point. This will provide enough spare
voltage to compensate for uphill grades, etc.,
but will prevent excessive voltage to the
lamps and smoke unit. (In conventional
mode, these operate at track voltage, and
excessive voltage may lead to premature bulb
burn-out.)
• If you wish to change the speed control
setting, you must deactivate the speed
control, then reactivate at the new
setting.
To turn speed control off, get your loco-
motive into neutral for at least 5 seconds.
Press the horn/whistle button for 2-3 seconds
while lowering the throttle voltage to 1/4 of
full power or at least three volts. Do not turn
the throttle off or speed control may not
deactivate. This can be difficult if you have
established a low speed control setting. Once
you are in neutral, you can increase the
track voltage before pressing the horn/whistle button and lowering the voltage. This will
give you more “room” to lower the voltage.
(The speed control deactivates when it sees a
3 volt change with horn/whistle pressed,
regardless of initial voltage level.)
Note!
Speed control settings are retained in memory even if power is turned off.
They will remain present until deactivated.

Using your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler
in the non-Command environment
T
o use your locomotive tender’s Electro-
Coupler in the non-Command environment, you must first couple a piece of rolling
stock equipped with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to your locomotive tender’s rear
ElectroCoupler. The magnetic coupler on the
rolling stock will then react to the magnetic
field generated by a Lionel remote-control
track section (available separately). Place
your rolling stock’s coupler “trigger disc”
over the central coil of a remote-control
track section and press “uncouple” on the
controller. The magnetic field pulls the disc
downward, and the coupler opens.
Your locomotive tender’s
ElectroCoupler will NOT open
manually or by using a
remote-control track section.
