or larger track.
2. Power your non-powered locomotive at 12-18 volts with your alternating
current (AC) transformer.
Power your non-powered locomotive with an alternating-current (AC)
Caution!
transformer only. Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC)
transformer, or in excess of 19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive
electronic components. 60 HZ AC is required. Do not power with 50 HZ AC.
3. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive determines whether it
is in a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Control
environment.
When the non-powered locomotive has determined that a TrainMaster Command Base
is not connected to the track, the non-powered locomotive's headlight will illuminate
and the LEGACY RailSounds sound system will start. You are ready for operation in the
conventional environment.
4. Move 'em out!
Press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your locomotive through
the repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. You may
also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive to the next operating state.
Adjust the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time, it will start out in

neutral. Thereafter, it will start in forward after every power interruption lasting five
seconds or longer.
We recommend that you operate your powered LEGACY diesel locomotive with
The Odyssey II Speed Control System turned on. You may choose to operate your
locomotive without speed control by placing the Odyssey II Speed Control System switch to the
"NO ODY" position. See Figure 1 on page 8.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Refer to
page 24 if your transformer is not equipped with those buttons. Adjust the volume using the
volume control knob located under the rear radiator vent. Refer to Figure 3 on page 22.
