Congratulations on your purchase of the Lionel Christmas Thomas & Friends™ Ready-To-Run
Remote Control Train Set!
This set includes everything you need to run your train, including a generous FasTrack loop that
assembles in a flash. The power adapter plugs into the wall, and then connects directly to a special track
section. Thomas is controlled using his very own blue Lionel remote. Go forward, reverse, or stop. Sound
the whistle or bell — or have Sir Topham Hatt announce “All aboard!” at the press of a button. Thomas’
moving eyes ensure that your journey on everyone’s #1 engine is a safe one, and the removable roofs of
Annie and Clarabel allow you to load and unload your passengers.
Use this Owner’s Manual to learn how to set up, operate, and maintain your train set for years of reli-
able operation.
The wall-pack power supply included with this set should be
periodically examined for conditions that may result in the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons (such as damage to the
output cord, blades, housing, or other parts). In the event that such
conditions exist, the wall-pack power supply should not be used
until properly repaired.
Parents!

Building your Lionel layout
Your set comes with eight curved sections, one 10" straight section, and one wall-pack terminal
section of track. Figure 1 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 1. Track layout
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 2
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.

Connecting your wall-pack power supply
Your trains are powered by a wall-pack power supply. To power the track, simply plug the wall-
pack into an outlet and plug the jack into the terminal section as shown in Figure 3.

and snap closed.
Use only Alkaline ‘AAA’ batteries. Use only new batteries. Never mix new and used batteries or use
different types together.

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

Plug in your wall-pack power supply and switch on the remote.
Your locomotive is designed to operate on 18 VDC or VAC. You may choose
to operate the train set using the wall-pack power supply, or you may run the locomotive
on a layout powered by virtually any Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current
transformer.
Your locomotive is compatible with most direct-current (DC) and alternating-
current (AC) transformers.
Move ‘em out!
Use your remote to run your train. You can adjust the speed in forward or reverse,
blow the whistle, sound the bell, or trigger an announcement. Refer to page 12 for complete
details.
If your remote control is switched Off while the locomotive is still run-
ning, the locomotive will automatically come to a stop in 10 minutes.
To restart the locomotive, simply unplug the power cord at the terminal
section for a few moments, and then restore power to cycle the locomotive
back to normal operation. If you are done operating your trains, be sure to
unplug the wall-pack power supply from the outlet.
Switch the remote control off to conserve the batteries.

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.
