3Move ‘em out!
Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your CAB-1
Remote Controller or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit
to the next operating state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To
increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the
locomotive, turn-off track power.
See page 5 for information on locking your locomotive into a single
operational state.
Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O gauge track.

2Power 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
transformers are suitable.
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 has determined that it’s
on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive’s headlight will
illuminate and RailSounds will fire up. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral.
(This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the first time.
Thereafter, it will start in forward following every five-second power interruption.)

Transformer operations
Caution!
Note!
To select a single operational state for
your Lionel locomotive (for example,
forward only), you can deactivate the
Command reverse unit’s sequencing
function with the reverse unit switch.
Get your 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.
When you no longer want single-direction
operation, just slide the Command reverse
unit switch back to RUN.
Your locomotive’s reverse unit will
“reset” to forward after any power
interruption lasting five seconds
or longer, regardless of the
original locked-out direction.

Using your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment
To uncouple rolling stock from your
locomotive’s ElectroCouplers in the
non-Command environment, you must rely
on a piece of rolling stock equipped with
Lionel magnetic couplers that can be
coupled directly to your locomotive’s
ElectroCouplers. The magnetic coupler on
the rolling stock will then react to the
magnetic field generated by a Lionel
Remote-Control or Uncoupling Track
section (available separately, 6-65530
for O gauge, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for
O-27 gauge). Place your rolling stock’s
coupler “trigger disc” over the central coil
of a Remote-Control or Uncoupling Track
section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the
magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and
the coupler opens.
Your locomotive’s
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 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 locomotive’s RailSounds system—the basics
The Lionel RailSounds sound system is
the most realistic model railroad sound
system in the world. Your locomotive
features digital samples from real-life diesel
locomotives for the ultimate in realism.
You may choose to install a nine-volt
alkaline battery in your locomotive. This
ensures interruption-free operation of
RailSounds. As illustrated in Figure 3, the
battery clip is located under the body
towards the front of the locomotive. Remove
the six body screws and lift away the body.
Refer to Figure 5 on page 17. Attach the
battery harness and slide the battery into the
holder. Reassemble in reverse order.
When you first apply track power, the
locomotive’s RailSounds 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 locomotive to
NO SND (refer to Figure 1 on page 5) before
powering up the locomotive.
Please remove the protective cover from the battery clip.
Although RailSounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is 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 RailSounds “drops out” during track power interruptions (for example,
during a direction change), replace the battery.

RailSounds operations
With RailSounds, 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 determines the level
of diesel RPM roar—automatically, if
you prefer: idle, half throttle, three
quarters or full-speed output.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at
different speeds—a RailSounds
exclusive.
•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your
CAB-1 Remote Controller 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 the Lionel Command reverse
unit has just reset to forward
operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model
railroad sound system shuts down like
RailSounds. Turn off track power, and
after the air-release reset sound, you have
two seconds to restart your locomotive. If
you’re done with operations, RailSounds
will commence with a realistic diesel
shutdown sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs. (Battery
installation required.)
Experiencing the range of your locomotive’s RailSounds system
Notes on RailSounds
• Turn the volume knob clockwise or
counter-clockwise in the location shown
in Figure 5 on page 17 to adjust sound
output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during RailSounds operation. They’re
automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The nine-volt alkaline battery you
installed ensures continuous diesel
locomotive sounds.
• Longer track-power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause RailSounds to shut down after
about seven seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command environment.

Setting Speed Control
1. Run the engine at the desired speed for approximately five seconds.
2. Press and hold the HORN button.
3. While holding the HORN button, increase the track voltage by at least three volts (at
least a quarter turn).
4. At this point, speed control is set.
Engine speed will increase slightly before returning to the set speeds.
Turning Off Speed Control:
1. While the engine is in neutral, turn your controller up to the maximum power (no
more than 20 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 engine to forward or reverse. The engine is now out of speed control mode.
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.
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.
While in the Command Control
environment, the speed control
feature of the Odyssey System is always on.
When turning the throttle, the speed of the
engine will respond to each signal from the
Command Base. Example: Address the
engine and slowly turn the throttle. The first
flash corresponds to the first speed step. This
is the slowest speed of the locomotive.
