Operating your CW-80 Transformer safely

Your Lionel CW-80 Transformer is listed by Underwriter’s Laboratory Inc. and has been

carefully designed to ensure peak performance. When using electrical products, basic

safety precautions should be maintained.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines:

• Read the manual thoroughly before using this device.

• This device is not recommended for children under fourteen years of age.

• Parents should periodically inspect this product for potential hazards and, if necessary,

have them repaired by an authorized Lionel Service Center. In the event that such a condi-

tion exists, the transformer should not be used until it has been properly repaired.

• The CW-80 Transformer is intended to be used indoors. Do not use this device if water is

present. Serious or fatal injuries may result.

• Use the CW-80 Transformer only for its intended purpose.

• The CW-80 Transformer was meant to operate on 120-volt, 60-Hertz power. Do not connect

this product to any other power supply.

• Do not operate the CW-80 Transformer with a damaged cord, plug, or case.

• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the unit. There are no user service-

able parts inside. If damaged, take this product to an authorized Lionel Service Center. Visit

www.lionel.com for a list of authorized Service Centers.

• Do not operate the CW-80 Transformer on your layout unattended. Obstructed accessories

or stalled trains may overheat, resulting in damage to your layout.

• Always unplug the CW-80 Transformer from the power source when not in use.

• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots on this product. Damage to sensitive

electronic components can result.

Creating your layout

Building your Lionel layout

Your set comes with eight curved, three straight, and one terminal section of track.

Figure 1 provides some examples of layouts that you can build with these track sections.

By adding more FasTrack track sections, you can create an endless number of exciting

track arrangements for more fun, action, and variety. The railroad empire of your dreams can

quickly become a reality!

FasTrack Add-on Track Packs make it easy to expand your railroad. Each Track Pack

includes all the track sections you need to create a more advanced layout using the sections

included with this set. Refer to Figure 2 to explore the possibilities.

Joining the FasTrack track sections

FasTrack track sections join together easily. With interlocking roadbed sections and large

rail tabs, the track fits together securely so you always get good electrical contact. Take a

look at Figure 3 to see how to join the track sections.

1. Line up your two sections of track.

2. Insert the rail tabs into the openings at the ends of the corresponding

rails.

3. Press the sections together until the interlocking roadbed snaps into

place.

Wiring your CW-80 Transformer

Creating your layout

Connect your FasTrack terminal section to the CW-80 Transformer. Use the wires that

are already attached to the terminal section. Make sure that all connections are secure.

Loose connections can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch

the terminals or track connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as

lichen or ground foam near the terminals.

1. Feed the wires through the notch in the FasTrack terminal section. Refer to

Figure 4 on page 8.

2. Loosen the red TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the red

spade-shaped connector into position. The thumbscrew post should be positioned

between the “blades” of the spade connector. Be sure that the blades are touching the

metal post. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the connection.

3. Loosen the black TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the black

spade-shaped connector into position. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the

connection. Be sure that the blades are touching the metal post. Tighten the thumbscrew

to secure the connection.

4. If you need to power an accessory (available separately at your

authorized Lionel dealer), connect the accessory to the ACCESSORY

thumbscrew terminals. Use the accessory wire included with the CW-80 Transformer.

5. Plug the CW-80 Transformer into your wall outlet (120 volts).

As your layout expands, you may also make power connections with the stripped ends

of wires, placing no more than two wires on each terminal. For best performance on large

layouts, it is recommended that you use 16-gauge wire to connect your CW-80 Transformer to

the track. On larger layouts where several track connections are required, the use of separate

junctions/terminal strips (available at your local electronics store) is recommended to

prevent voltage drops.

To prevent the excessive build up of heat, be sure to select the proper wire gauge

for your layout. Follow these guidelines:

• Track connections must be made with 18-gauge wire or heavier. Larger

layouts require a minimum of 16-gauge wire.

• Use 24-gauge wire only when connecting single accessories that require lower

current.

• When wiring multiple accessories (two or more) or accessories that require

higher current, be sure to use 18- to 16-gauge wire.

Caution!

Running your train

Running your train set

With track power off, place your train set on the track.

Refer to the following section for information on coupling the cars.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating cur-

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

are suitable.

Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers.

The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC)

transformers only.

Move ‘em out!

Get your locomotive moving. Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern

of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse

unit, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle

all the way back to the OFF position and then forward, for one to four seconds. When

track power is interrupted, the locomotive advances to the next operational state.

Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Note!

Running your train

Coupling

When coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left

in Figure 5. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward

each other until they lock together.

Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.
