Move ‘em out! Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your Lionel transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit to the next operating state. Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To increase speed, increase track voltage.
ElectroCouplers in the non- coupled to your locomotive Command environment, you must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel magnetic couplers coupled directly to your locomotive’s ElectroCouplers. The magnetic coupler on the rolling stock will then react to the magnetic field...
Installing a Lionel Sound Activation Button o activate the bell and whistle sounds when operating your locomotive with conventional transformers, you may need to install Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) if your transformer is not equipped to activate these features. Connect the button(s) as shown below.
RailSounds sound system operations Your locomotive’s RailSounds sound system—the basics he Lionel RailSounds sound system is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. Your locomotive features digital samples from real-life diesel locomotives for the ultimate in realism.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait for three to five seconds, and listen for the air-release sound—that’s the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command reverse unit has just reset to forward operation.
Odyssey System operations The Odyssey System he Odyssey System is a “cruise control” for your engine. Once the speed is set (see below), your engine will maintain a constant speed, no matter what loads the locomotive pulls or what grades you have on your layout. This digitally-controlled system also allows for extremely slow movement that will amaze any “scale”...

TrainMaster Command operations CAB-1 Remote Controller numeric keypad commands for your locomotive hen you press AUX1 on your CAB-1 Remote Controller, you START-UP turn the numeric keypad into ten command buttons. The CREW TALK keypad lets you control extra command features (until you press any VOLUME SHUT top-row button like SW, ACC, RTE, TR, or ENG).
TrainMaster Command operations Tuning your locomotive’s performance MOMENTUM TrainMaster Command’s momentum feature simulates the labored performance of a locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press L, M, or H (located under your CAB-1 Remote Controller’s removable panel) for light, medium, or heavy momentum. The locomotive’s Command reverse unit remembers this setting until you change it.
Assigning your locomotive a new ID# s your fleet of Command-equipped Assign a new ID# to your Example Lionel locomotives grows, you’ll want Command-equipped locomotive to give your locomotive a more Set the Command reverse unit switch individualized number. Choose from any to PGM between 1 and 99.
TrainMaster Command operations Reprogramming the Command reverse unit to restore features ue to the inevitable derailments and static, it is possible that your Command reverse unit could someday lose its setup program. The symptom of this condition would be unresponsiveness in Command mode. This can be easily remedied by “reprogramming” your Command reverse unit using the following steps.
TrainMaster Command operations Building a lash-up rainMaster Command Control allows you to couple your Command Control equipped locomotives together, forming a multiple unit lash-up. Just like with the real railroads, lash-ups allow you to pull longer trains and climb up steeper grades. You will find that the lighting operates prototypically—the lead unit's headlight and interior lights are illuminated when the train is in forward, and the rear unit's headlight and interior lights are illuminated when the train is in reverse.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function. Pierce the tube end with a pin. Then add 10-15 drops of fluid into the locomotive’s duct.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate (a small amount will do), and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive’s wheels or your track. You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the parts indicated in Figure 5.
Because you must remove the trucks and the side frames to access the wheels, we recommend that you have the traction tires replaced by your authorized Lionel Service Center. See the Lionel Service section on page 20 for more information.
Lionel L.L.C. or an authorized Lionel L.L.C. Service Center, together with proof of original purchase will, at the option of Lionel L.L.C., be repaired or replaced, without charge for parts or labor. In the event the defective product cannot be repaired, and a replacement is not available, a refund of the original purchase price will be granted.
