Track layout Building your Lionel layout our set comes with eight curved, one straight, and one terminal section of track. Figure 1 provides some examples of layouts that you can build with these track sections. By adding more FasTrack track sections, you can create an endless number of exciting track arrangements for more fun, action, and variety.
• Parents should periodically inspect this product for potential hazards and, if necessary, have them repaired by an authorized Lionel Service Center. In the event that such a condi- tion exists, the transformer should not be used until it has been properly repaired.
Controller operations Connecting your Transformer hen connecting your transformer, make sure that all power connections are secure. Loose connections can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch the terminals or track connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as lichen or ground foam near the terminals.
Controller operations Advanced connections: powering two isolated blocks with two transformers s you expand your layout, you may decide to create two isolated blocks of track. Trains in each block are controlled by separate transformers. Before you operate your trains on this type of layout, be sure that your transformers are in phase.
Controller operations Transformer and short circuits our Lionel power pack is listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and has been carefully designed and tested to ensure peak performance. The Transformer is equipped with a built-in electronic circuit breaker that alternately cuts off and restores the flow of power to the track whenever a short circuit exists—for example, when the train derails.
Refer to page 12 for information on coupling the cars. Power up your locomotive with your transformer. Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating cur- rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are suitable. Note! Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC) transformers.
Train operation Transformer functions s you turn the throttle control knob to the right, power to the track is increased. Figure 5 illustrates the throttle control knob settings. When the indicator reaches the green band, there should be sufficient power to operate the locomotive. The farther into the green area the knob is turned, the faster your train will go.
Locomotive operation Reverse unit procedure he electronic reverse unit inside your Lionel locomotive acts like the transmission in a car. When you apply power to the track, the locomotive moves in the direction specified by the reverse unit—or it sits in neutral, awaiting another power interruption. Power interruptions are the signal that tells the reverse unit to sequence to the next operational state.
During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. See your authorized Lionel Service Center for assistance. Refer to the Service Center list that is packed with this set.
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, contact rollers, or your track.
1. Remove the four chassis screws from the underside of the locomotive. 2. Carefully lift off the body. 3. Pull the lamp straight out and replace it with Lionel part no. 600-0161-300, available from your nearest Lionel Authorized Service Center or from Lionel Service.
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.
