Creating your layout Building your Lionel layout our set comes with eight curved, three 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.
Creating your layout Wiring 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.
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.
12 for the location of the switch. The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function. A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap. Pierce the end of the nozzle with a pin, then add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s...
Running your train Coupling hen coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left in Figure 5. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward each other until they lock together.
Running your train Transformer functions s you turn the throttle control knob to the right, power to the track is increased. Figure 6 illustrates the throttle control knob settings. When the indicator reaches the green band, there should be sufficient power to operate the locomotive. The further into the green area the knob is turned, the faster your train will go.
Dirt and grease may accumulate on the track, wheels, and rollers. The whistle may sound intermittently as a result of this build-up. Cleaning the wheels and track should eliminate this problem. We suggest using the Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available at your authorized Lionel Dealer.
Running your train 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.
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.
Refer to Figure 9. Remove the old traction tire from under the drive rod and slip on the replacement, Lionel part no. 600-0242-206. Replace the spacer, retighten the drive rod nut, and you’re ready to pull that long freight back to the yard.
2. Lift the smoke unit out far enough from the cab to allow lamp extraction. 3. Pull the lamp straight out and replace it with Lionel part no. 600-0161-300, available from your nearest authorized Lionel Service Center or from Lionel Service. Be careful not to twist the lamp, or it may break.
See Figure 11. Once these screws are removed, you can lift off the roof, remove the expired lamp, and then install the replacement. Replace the roof and the two screws on the underside of the frame. Lionel part no. 600-8352-310 Figure 11. Lamp replacement...
Maintaining and servicing your set 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.
Maintaining and servicing your set Troubleshooting No lights or operation Be sure that the Transformer is plugged in and the wires are connected. No change when DIRECTION button is pressed Be sure that your locomotive’s reverse unit switch is ON. Locomotive runs slowly or lights dim at the far end of the track On larger layouts, additional track resistance may cause reduced track voltage as the trains move away from the power terminal section.
