3Move ‘em out!

Get your locomotives moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your Lionel

transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit to the next operating state.

Adjust track voltage until your locomotives move at your desired speed. To

increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the

locomotives, turn-off track power.

Place your locomotives on Lionel or Lionel-compatible

O-31 or larger track.

Both units should face the front of the train.

2Power up your locomotives with your transformer.

Your locomotives are designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating

current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current

transformers are suitable.

Do not power your locomotives with direct current (DC). Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

When you first power up your track, the locomotives will wait

between three and eight seconds as they “listen” for digital language from

the TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When they have determined

that they are on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotives’

headlights will illuminate and the RailSounds sound system will fire up. At this

point, the locomotives are in neutral. (This occurs when placing the locomotives on

your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it will start in forward following every

five-second power interruption.)

Running your locomotives with a Lionel transformer

Transformer operations

Caution!

Note!

To select a single operational state for your

Lionel locomotives (for example, forward

only), you can deactivate the Command reverse

unit’s sequencing function with the Command

reverse unit switch.

Get the locomotive moving in the desired

direction, then slow it down without stopping.

Set the Command reverse unit switch to PGM.

Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switch.

The locomotive is now “locked” into your

chosen direction. Repeat these steps for the

other locomotive.

When you no longer want single-direction

operation, just slide the Command reverse unit switch back to RUN.

Using your locomotives’ ElectroCouplers in the non-Command

environment

To uncouple rolling stock from your

locomotives’ ElectroCouplers in the non-

Command environment, you must rely on a

piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel

magnetic couplers coupled directly to the

ElectroCouplers. The magnetic coupler on the

rolling stock will then react to the magnetic

field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control

Track section (available separately, 6-65530

for O gauge; 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27

gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts).

Place your rolling stock’s coupler “trigger disc”

over the central coil of a Remote-Control Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the

controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the

coupler opens.

See page 12 to learn how to release the couplers in the Command Control environment.

Your locomotives’ ElectroCouplers will NOT open manually or by using a

Remote-Control Track section.

Note!

To activate the bell and whistle sounds when operating your locomotive set with

conventional transformers, you may need to install Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound

Activation Buttons (available separately) if your transformer is not equipped to activate these

features. Connect the button(s) as shown below.

All track power must feed through the Sound Activation Buttons. Do not bypass the

buttons.

Your locomotives’ RailSounds sound system—the basics

Please remove the protective cover from the battery harness.

Although the RailSounds sound system is powered by track voltage, the

batteries are required for uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use

only alkaline batteries.

Discontinue locomotive power for ten seconds before changing the RailSounds

(SND/NO SND) switch position.

If the RailSounds sound system “drops out” during track power interruptions

(for example, during a direction change), replace the batteries.

RailSounds operations

The Lionel RailSounds sound system is the most realistic model railroad sound system in

the world. Your locomotives feature digital samples from real-life diesel locomotives for

the ultimate in realism.

You may choose to install a nine-volt alkaline battery in each locomotive. This ensures

interruption-free operation of the RailSounds sound system. As illustrated in Figure 3, the

battery harness is located under the radiator vents. Gently lift up and unsnap the radiator vent

panel to access the battery harness and volume control knob. Snap the battery harness onto

the battery, then slide the battery into the holder and replace the radiator vent panel.

When you first apply track power, the locomotive’s sound system produces sounds of the

locomotive at rest. As the locomotive moves, the RPM’s increase with the locomotive’s speed.

To silence the diesel roar (the horn and bell remain unaffected), slide the RailSounds switch

on the underside of the locomotives to NO SND (refer to Figure 1 on page 5) before powering up

the locomotive. Use the volume control knob to adjust the volume. Refer to Figure 3.

RailSounds operations

With the RailSounds sound system, you experience the sounds of real railroading like

never before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticated, authentic model railroad sound

system in the world.

• Four diesel-roar levels. Your locomotive’s speed automatically determines the level of

diesel RPM roar. If you prefer, you may set the level to idle, half throttle, three quarters, or

full-speed output using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.

• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds sound system

exclusive.

•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Control or transformer to begin

the effect, again to discontinue.

• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait for three to five seconds, and

listen for the air-release sound—that’s the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command

reverse unit has just reset to forward operation.

• Shutdown sequence. No other model railroad sound system shuts down like the

RailSounds sound system. Turn off track power, and after the air-release reset sound, you

have two seconds to restart your locomotives. If you’re done with operations, the

RailSounds sound system will commence with a realistic diesel shutdown sequence about

two seconds after the air-release reset occurs. (Battery installation required.)

system

Notes on the RailSounds sound system

• Turn the volume knob clockwise or counter-clockwise in the location shown in Figure 3 on

page 7 to adjust sound output.

• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during RailSounds sound system operation.

They’re automatic and, of course, authentic.

• The nine-volt alkaline batteries you installed ensure continuous locomotive diesel sounds.

• Longer track-power interruptions (including locomotive derailments) cause the

RailSounds sound system to shut down after about seven seconds.

• For even more authentic RailSounds sound system effects, operate in the TrainMaster

Command Control environment. See page 11-14 for more information.

Odyssey System operations

Odyssey System conventional (transformer) operation

The Odyssey System

The Odyssey System is a “cruise control” for your engine. Once the speed is set (see below),

your engine will maintain a constant speed, no matter what loads the locomotive pulls or

what grades you have on your layout. This digitally-controlled system also allows for

extremely slow movement that will amaze any “scale” enthusiast.

Setting Speed Control

1. Slide the Odyssey System switch to the ON position on both locomotives. Refer to

Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of the switch.

2. Run the locomotives at the desired speed for approximately five seconds.

3. Press and hold the horn button.

4. While holding the horn button, increase the track voltage by at least three volts (at

least a quarter turn).

5. At this point, speed control is set.

The speed of the locomotives will increase slightly before returning to the set speed.

Turning Off Speed Control:

1. While the locomotives are in neutral, turn your controller up to the maximum power

(no more than 19 volts), wait one second, then press and hold the horn button.

2. While holding the horn button, slowly reduce track voltage to one-fourth of full power.

3. Release the horn button.

4. Cycle the locomotives to forward or reverse. The locomotives are now out of speed

control mode.

Sliding the Odyssey System switch to the OFF position will disable the Odyssey

System. We recommend that you keep the Odyssey System switch in the OFF position

unless you want to activate the locomotive’s speed control.

In conventional operation, the smoke unit and lights are connected directly to

track power. Do not exceed 14-16 volts for extended periods. Doing so will cause

damage to the locomotive.

Caution!

Note!

Odyssey System operations

Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to turn the Odyssey System speed control on or off. The

position of the Odyssey switch (see Figure 1 on page 5) is the Odyssey

System default setting when you power up the locomotives. You may override the

default with the following commands. The override settings will be cleared and the default

settings will be restored when the locomotives are powered down.

Odyssey System Command operation

Turns off Odyssey System speed control

When you press 7, you will activate a TowerCom announcement. This has no

impact on the Odyssey System function.

Turns on Odyssey System speed control

Do not wait longer than two or three seconds between pushing the buttons in each sequence.

If the command is not accepted, repeat the sequence.

The locomotives must not be in motion while enabling or disabling the Odyssey

System speed control.

Note!

Your locomotives have been factory-programmed as a lash-up, TR-9. For proper

operations in lash-up mode, set the Odyssey Switch on the rear locomotive, #8232, to

the OFF position. Do not override this setting when operating your train as a lash-up.

Note!

When you press 9, you will activate the Air Release sound and turn on the smoke

unit (if it was off). This has no impact on the Odyssey System.
