Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer

Locomotive set operations

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

sensitive electronic components may occur.

PLACE YOUR TRAIN SET ON LIONEL OR LIONEL-COMPATIBLE

O GAUGE TRACK.

THROTTLE 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.

Throttle up your locomotive and it will begin to move in the forward direction.

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

increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, decrease voltage.

Pressing the DIRECTION button on your transformer will sequence the

electronic E-unit to the next operating state in the repeating sequence of

forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.

To stop the locomotive, cycle the electronic E-unit to neutral or turn-off track

power.

Caution!

Locomotive set operations

Locking your locomotive into forward direction only operation

When the electronic E-unit Direction Lock switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive

sequences through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral,

and so on.

To lock your locomotive into forward-only operation, you can deactivate the electronic E-unit’s

sequencing function. Follow the steps below and refer to Figure 1 for the location of the RUN/LOCK

switch.

Always turn off track power before removing the locomotive from the track.

1. Turn off track power, wait three seconds, and remove the locomotive from the track. Now slide the

electronic E-unit Direction Lock switch to the LOCK position. Your locomotive is now locked into

forward direction only operation.

2. Place your locomotive back on the track. Power up the track and press the DIRECTION button

on your transformer to confirm that the locomotive is now locked into forward direction only

operation.

To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, turn off power and remove your locomotive from

the track. Slide the Directional Lock switch back to the RUN position. Place the locomotive back on

the track and restore track power.

Locomotive set operations

Both NW2 switcher locomotives are equipped with operating magnetic knuckle couplers, a

revolutionary design first introduced by Lionel in 1945.

Lionel magnetic couplers react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control

Track section (available separately, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; 6-65530 for O gauge;

or 6-12020 and 6-12054 for FasTrack layouts).

Place your locomotive’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 knuckle opens.

Sounding your powered locomotive’s horn and bell

Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate the locomotives horn and

bell sounds.

If your transformer lacks HORN and BELL buttons, you will need to install Lionel

no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) to activate the locomotive’s

horn and bell sounds.

Connect the buttons as shown below. Be sure that all track power passes through the Sound

Activation Button(s).

Figure 3. Smoke fluid locations

Locomotive set operations

The non-powered unit is not equipped with a smoke generator. Do not add smoke fluid to

the non-powered unit.

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

smoke during operation. Add 10-20 drops to the stack (shown in Figure 3) to prime the unit the

first time you run the locomotive or after being stored for an extended period of time. 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 locomotive's 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 and slide it

to the NO SMK position. Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of the switch.

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

Adding smoke fluid to your powered locomotive’s smoke generator

Note!

Add smoke fluid here (no

more than 10 to 20 drops)

RailSounds operations

Experiencing the conventional RailSounds sound system

When you first power up your powered locomotive, you will hear the sounds of the locomotive

at rest. As the locomotive moves, the RPM sounds automatically increase with the locomo-

tive’s speed. The horn and bell sounds are activated by your transformer controls, if so equipped.

To adjust the volume, use the volume control knob. Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for the location

of the volume control knob on the underside of the powered locomotive.

You will experience several features of the RailSounds sound system.

• Diesel motor RPM levels. The level of diesel motor RPM level automatically varies with the

speed of the locomotive.

• Diesel Horn. Press HORN/WHISTLE on your transformer to activate the horn.

• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your transformer to begin the effect, then press BELL a

second time to discontinue the effect.

• CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements. These brief conversations between

the train crew and the tower are triggered by short horn blasts.

Adjusting the volume

To adjust the volume, use the volume control knob located on the underside of the frame.

See Figure 1 on page 5 below for the location of the volume control knob.

Activating the CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements

The CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered by short horn blasts and vary

with the state of the locomotive.

• If the locomotive has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a

“please standby” dialog.

• If the locomotive has been stopped for longer than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a

“cleared outbound” dialog.

• If the locomotive has started moving within the last seven seconds, a short horn blast will

trigger a "train is underway" dialog.

• If the locomotive has been moving for more than seven seconds, a short horn blast will

trigger a "are we clear?" dialog.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive set

Lubricating your locomotive set

Help your Lionel locomotive set lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining

it properly. To keep your locomotive set lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel

Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer or

service station.

When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 appear dry, lubricate your

locomotive set after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules to

keep in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive: use only a small amount of lubrication and

avoid getting grease or oil on your locomotive’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.
