• 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.
Creating your layout Building your Lionel layout our set comes with twelve curved, three straight, and one terminal section of track. By adding more FasTrack track sections, you can create an endless number of exciting track arrangements for more fun, action, and variety. The railroad empire of your dreams can...
Creating your layout Joining the FasTrack track sections asTrack track sections join together easily. With interlocking roadbed sections and large rail tabs, the track fits together securely so you always get good electrical contact. Take a look at Figure 2 to see how to join the track sections. 1.
4. If you need to power an accessory (available separately at your authorized Lionel dealer), connect the accessroy to the ACCESSORY thumbscrew terminals. Use the accessory wire included with the CW-80 Transformer. 5. Plug the CW-80 Transformer into your wall outlet (120 volts).
Conventional operations our locomotive is capable of operating in the conventional environment, controlled by nothing more than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer. The CW-80 transformer is illustrated in Figure 4. In the conventional environment, your locomotive cycles through a repeating pattern of opera- tions: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.
Conventional transformer operations Operating your locomotive in the conventional environment 1. Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track. 2. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC) transformer. Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.
Conventional transformer operations Locking your locomotive into a single direction hen the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive sequences through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To “lock” your locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only), you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function.
RailSounds sound system operations RailSounds sound system operations our locomotive is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds sound system, the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds sound system brings the sounds of the railroad to your layout through high quality digital samples of real locomotives.
RailSounds sound system operations Installing the battery hile the RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, we recommend that you install a nine-volt alkaline battery to prevent the sound system from shutting down dur- ing track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or a dirty section of track). Follow these steps and refer to Figure 6 as you install the battery.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait three seconds, and listen for the air-release sound—that’s the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command reverse unit has reset to forward. Because track power is off, a nine-volt battery is required for this sequence to function.
RailSounds sound system operations Using the RailSounds sound system in the TrainMaster Command Control environment o access all of the features of the RailSounds sound system, you must operate your loco- motive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The CAB-1 Remote Controller is required to activate features such as TowerCom announcements, CrewTalk communication, and coupler release sounds.
Odyssey System operations Odyssey System operations he Odyssey System is “cruise control” for your locomotive. Once the speed control is set, your locomotive will maintain a constant speed, no matter what load is placed on the locomotive or grades you have on your layout. The Odyssey System also allows for extremely slow movement that will amaze any scale enthusiasts.
Odyssey System operations Turning off the Odyssey System in the conventional environment ollow these steps to turn off the Odyssey System in the conventional environment. 1. While the locomotive is in neutral, turn your controller up to the maximum power (no more than 19 volts), wait one second, then press and hold the horn button.
TrainMaster Command Control operations TrainMaster Command Control operations rainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. To operate your locomotive in the Command Control environment, you need a Command Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868). These products are available together in the TrainMaster Command Set (available separately, 6-12969).
TrainMaster Command Control operations CAB-1 Remote Controller commands he CAB-1 Remote Controller commands are detailed below. The corresponding RailSounds sound system effects are in bold italic type. Releases the front coupler. Coupler release sound. Releases the rear coupler. Coupler release sound. Activates the numeric keypad.
TrainMaster Command Control operations CAB-1 Remote Controller numeric keypad commands hen you press the AUX1 button on your CAB-1 Remote Controller, AUX1 you turn the numeric keypad into ten command buttons. These commands are specific to your locomotive, and an overlay is included to help you learn these functions.
TrainMaster Command Control operations Tuning your locomotive’s performance rainMaster Command Control allows you to fine-tune the performance of your locomotive. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to make these adjustments. Note! These settings will be lost if you assign a new ID#. Momentum The TrainMaster Command Control momentum feature simulates the labored performance of a locomotive pulling a light, moderate, or heavy load.
TrainMaster Command Control operations Tuning your locomotive’s performance (continued) Setting the minimum speed You may use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to set your locomotive’s minimum, or stall, speed. 1. With the Command reverse unit switch in the RUN position, address your locomotive by pressing ENG and entering the ID#.
TrainMaster Command Control operations Assigning your locomotive a new ID# s your roster of TrainMaster Command Control-equipped locomotives grows, you will want to give each unit a unique ID#. The locomotive will respond to commands associated with its ID# while all other units will disregard these commands. To restore your locomotive’s functions, see page 26.
TrainMaster Command Control operations Building a lash-up rainMaster Command Control allows you to couple your Command Control-equipped loco- motives together, forming a multiple unit lash-up. Just like with the real railroads, lash- ups allow you to pull longer trains and climb steeper grades. You will find that the lighting operates prototypically—the lead unit’s headlight and interior lights are illuminated when the train is in forward, and the rear unit’s headlight and interior lights are on when the train is in reverse.
TrainMaster Command Control operations Reprogramming your locomotive to restore features f your locomotive is unresponsive to your commands in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, we recommend that you follow this procedure to reset your locomotive. 1. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PGM position. 2.
CW-80 Transformer operations Powering your layout with the CW-80 Transformer our CW-80 Transformer provides a total output of five amps. The track outputs will deliver all of this power to the track when no accessories are connected to the Transformer. Keep in mind that connected accessories borrow some of this power.
— from crossing signals to coal and lumber loaders — available at your authorized Lionel dealer. When you are ready to operate your new accessory, the CW-80 Transformer allows you to choose how much power your accessory receives with programmable accessory output.
In order to function, the smoke generators require the period- ic addition of Lionel smoke fluid. A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with your set. To add smoke fluid, press down and unscrew the cap of the smoke fluid bottle, then pierce the top of the nozzle with a pin.
