Operating your wall-pack power supply safely

Your Lionel wall-pack power supply 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 eight years of age.

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

repaired by a Factory Trained Authorized Lionel Service Station. In the event that such a condition

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

• The wall-pack power supply is intended to be used indoors. Do not use this device if water is

present. Serious or fatal injuries may result.

• Use the wall-pack power supply only for its intended purpose.

• The wall-pack power supply was designed to operate on 120-240 volt AC, 50/60-Hertz power. Do

not connect this product to any other power supply.

• Do not operate the wall-pack power supply with a damaged cord, plug, or case.

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

parts inside. If damaged, take this product to a Factory Trained Authorized Lionel Service Station.

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

• Do not operate the wall-pack power supply on your layout unattended. Obstructed accessories or

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

• Always unplug the wall-pack power supply 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.

Safety information

Model railroading with the LionChief system

Your ready-to-run LionChief train set comes with a DC wall-pack power supply, a LionChief

remote control, a LionChief-equipped locomotive, rolling stock, and a FasTrack oval, complete

with a wall-pack terminal section for “plug-and-play” set up.

Your locomotive runs on ﬁxed voltage, which is optimal for the sound system, smoke system,

and lamps. The locomotive listens to commands from its LionChief remote at a speciﬁc frequency

to increase or decrease speed, change directions, or trigger sounds. That’s why the locomotive and

remote must be operated as a matched pair.

The DC wall-pack power supply is capable of running the locomotive and cars that come with

this set, plus a few add-on cars and accessories, depending on the power they require. Keep in mind

that your locomotive can run on AC power, too, so you may choose to upgrade to most Lionel or

Lionel-compatible AC transformers (available separately at your authorized Lionel retailer) when you

expand your layout.

Run only your layout with only the DC wall-pack power supply OR an AC transformer.

Do not run both! Also, keep in mind that most other Lionel locomotives require AC

power speciﬁcally; check the instructions included with the other locomotives.

If you do choose to run your LionChief locomotive with a transformer, set the train voltage to full

(18 volts) and use the remote to run the train and trigger the sounds. The locomotive is not designed

to respond to the transformer’s throttle, direction button, horn button, or bell button; the locomotive

only responds to commands from its LionChief remote.

Keep in mind that the remote that comes with the train set is paired with the locomotive. This

locomotive and remote share a frequency, and your LionChief remote will not communicate with

other locomotives. However, locomotives of the same type, for example a 2-8-4 berkshire, may share a

frequency. Where the frequency is shared, any locomotive of the same type on the track would respond

together, at the same time, to commands from a remote. To avoid this scenario, you may choose not

to run multiples of the same locomotive type at the same time.

Otherwise, you may run more than one LionChief-equipped locomotive on the track at the same

time. You may also choose to run your LionChief locomotive on a LEGACY Control System-equipped

layout; however, you must use your LionChief remote control to control the LionChief locomotive

(LionChief locomotives do not receive commands from the LEGACY remote).

LionChief system basics

Important!

Installing AAA batteries into the Remote Control

For safety purposes, you must use a Phillips screwdriver to access the battery compartment. Use

a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw that secures the battery compartment hatch and

lift the hatch to access battery compartment (as shown in Figure 1). Insert three AAA batteries

orientating the +/- as shown in the bottom of the battery compartment. Replace the battery door

and snap closed.

Use only Alkaline AAA batteries. Use only new batteries. Never mix new and used

batteries or use different types together.

Figure 1. Opening and closing the battery compartment

REMOVE ALL BATTERIES WHEN THE TRAIN WILL NOT BE USED FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

Important!

When you are not operating the train, slide the On/Off switch to the Off

position to conserve the batteries.

ON/OFF SWITCH

To conserve your batteries,

slide the On/Off switch to the

Off position when you are

done operating your train.

SPEED INDICATOR LIGHT

The red light will remain on during

normal operation. The light will begin to

ﬂash when the locomotive is in motion,

and the ﬂashing will vary with the loco-

motive's speed.

BELL

The BELL button will

activate the bell sounds on

locomotives equipped with

this feature. Press the BELL

button to begin the sounds;

press the button again to

turn off the ringing.

WHISTLE

The WHISTLE button will activate

your locomotive’s whistle.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Press the center button for a variety of

announcements that may vary depending on

the train set. See page 13 for more information.

THROTTLE

Turn the throttle knob clockwise to go for-

ward and adjust the speed. Turn the throttle

knob counter-clockwise to go reverse and

adjust the speed. To stop the train, simply

return the throttle knob to the

center position.

Locomotive 0verview

Your LionChief locomotive is designed to operate with commands from its corresponding

LionChief remote. You may choose to power it with the wall-pack power supply included with

this ready-to-run train set, or you may choose to expand and upgrade to essentially any Lionel

or Lionel-compatible AC transformer. Even DC transformers will work to power this particular

locomotive!

Smoke

Your locomotive features an operating smoke unit that produces safe, clean, white smoke. Always

keep a small amount of smoke ﬂuid in the smoke unit when you are running your locomotive with

the smoke unit in the On position. Slide the smoke unit switch to the Off position if you do not want

to operate the locomotive with smoke or you choose not to add smoke ﬂuid. From more information,

please see page 11.

Additional Lionel Premium Smoke Fluid (6-37841) is available separately when you deplete the

sample.

LionChief RC sound system

Your locomotive features a wide range of sounds to make operation even more realistic and impres-

sive! The steam chufﬁng sounds are coordinated with the blasts of smoke from the smokestack, and

they increase with the speed of the locomotive. You may choose to turn the chufﬁng sounds off by

sliding the sound switch to the off position. See page 14.

Use the whistle, bell, and announcement buttons on the LionChief remote control to trigger those

sounds. See page 7 for more information.

Keep in mind that the speaker is housed in the tender. Ensure that the drawbar is connected prop-

erly for good electrical contact.

Care and maintenance

A few simple precautions will help to ensure a long life for the locomotive:

• Lubricate the wheels, axles, and linkage regularly to avoid squeaks and wear. See page 15 for

complete details.

• Avoid squeezing and bending the side rods and linkage when handling and packing the locomo-

tive to prevent binding.

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 have 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.

Building your Lionel layout

Your set comes with eight curved sections, one 10" straight section, and one wall-pack terminal

section of track. Figure 2 shows the oval layout that you can build with these track sections.

You may choose to add more FasTrack track sections to create an endless number of exciting track

arrangements for more fun, action, and variety.

Figure 2. Track layout

Connecting your wall-pack power supply

To power your train by the included DC wall-pack power supply, simply plug the wall-pack into an

outlet and plug the jack into the terminal section as shown in Figure 4.

To power your train by a transformer (not included) connect the transformer to the track using the

FasTrack terminal section (available separately, 6-12016).
