Lionel Limited Warranty Policy & Service 24

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-36 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 on the track.

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 1, 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 button on your LEGACY

CAB-2 Remote, shown in Figure 2. 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 set 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.

LEGACY Control operations

For 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-36 or larger track curves.

TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC) operations

For 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 on the track.

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 (or the ENG ID# you set) 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.

Note!

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 set 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 set requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.

1. With track power off, place your locomotive on the track.

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! 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 Odyssey II

Speed Control 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 position. See Figure 4 on page

8 for the location of the switch.

Note!

Locomotive basics

Your locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke

during operation. Add 10-20 drops to the duct (shown in Figure 3) to prime the units the first

time you run the locomotive or after being stored for an extended period of time, and then add 10 to

20 drops to refill when smoke production decreases. When refilling, DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as

this can cause your smoke unit to become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note

that operating your locomotives’ smoke unit without smoke fluid will cause damage to the heating

element.

If you prefer to operate your locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch on the

locomotive and slide it to the NO SMK position. Refer to Figure 4 on page 8 for the location of the

switch.

For best performance, we recommend using Lionel smoke fluid only.

The functions of your locomotive's switches are outlined below. Refer to Figure 4 for the location

of the switches. The instructions below are specific to this particular locomo-

tive; note that available features (and switches) may differ from other loco-

motives and sets.

Smoke Unit Switch (SMK/NO SMK)

Used to turn the smoke unit function on and off.

Program-Run Switch (RUN/PGM)

Used to assign an ID# and to reprogram your locomotive for LEGACY and Command operation

when the switch is in the PGM position. Also used to “lock” your powered locomotive in a single

direction, or neutral, in conventional operation when the switch is placed in the PGM position.

For operation in the LEGACY or TMCC environment, you will want to give your locomotive a

unique ID#. The locomotive will respond to commands associated with its ID# while all other

units will disregard these commands. This procedure is not necessary for convention-

al (non-Command) operation.

1. Slide the Command reverse unit switch on your locomotive to the PGM

position. See Figure 4 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 set’s road number.

All LEGACY locomotives respond to ENG 99. We recommend that you reserve ID# 99 as a

"universal" ID#.

7. Press SET.

8. Slide the Command reverse unit switch back to the RUN position.

The locomotive set’s ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.

Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only)

In the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control multiple powered

and non-powered locomotives as one 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 10 for details.

1. Address the train ID# you wish to create or edit, 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 manner.

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

DIR to change the direction of the engine.

10. To delete an engine in your lash-up, turn the red

Velocity Throttle knob 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.

12. Press CTC to exit to the operating screen.
