Conventional transformer operations

Ground lights

Y
our non-powered locomotive is equipped with functional
Ground Lights. There is one Ground Light located on
each side of the frame, near the center of the front truck.
Prototypically, it is difficult to determine when a diesel
locomotive is moving at very slow speeds in extreme low
light, or darkness. When operating the locomotive under
these conditions, the Ground Lights provide the engineer and
fireman with a visual reference to the ground and allow them
to more accurately judge the motion of the locomotive.
The Ground Lights function automatically and are not user controlled. In Conventional
transformer operation, the Ground Lights are ON when the locomotive is stopped and they remain
ON as the locomotive starts to move. As the locomotive gains speed, the Ground Lights will turn
OFF. As the speed of the locomotive slows, the Ground Lights will turn ON.
For optimal effect of the functional Ground Lights, operate your locomotive in low light

conditions.
Operating your non-powered locomotive in the conventional
environment
Y
our non-powered locomotive is capable of operating in the conventional environment with
nothing more than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate these features. If your
transformer is not equipped with these controls, separate buttons are available (610-5906-001).
