Your locomotive is designed to operate on 5-18 volts alternating current.
Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating current transformers are suitable.
Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC) transformers.
Note!
The locomotive was designed for use with alternating current (AC)
transformers only.
Move 'em out!

Get your locomotive moving. Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern of
operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse unit,
press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle all the
way back to the OFF position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION button
or interruption in track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next operational
state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
