Caution! sensitive electronic components may occur. Move ‘em out! Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIRECTION button on your Lionel transformer or momentarily shut off track power. This sequences the reverse unit to the next operating state. Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To increase speed, increase track voltage.
Locomotive operations and maintenance Locking your locomotive into a single operational state o select a single operational state for your Lionel locomotive (for example, forward only), you can deactivate the reverse unit’s sequencing function with the reverse unit control switch.
Be sure that the horn ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 3 on page 7 for the location of that switch. If your transformer or controller does not have a HORN/WHISTLE button, install a Lionel Sound Activation Button (available separately, part no. 610-5906-001). Connect the button as shown in Figure 2.
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 4. Carefully remove the lamp assembly from the bracket, then gently pull the expired lamp from its socket. Replace the expired lamp with Lionel part no. 600-8352-311, available from your authorized Lionel Service Center or Lionel Service in Chesterfield, MI. For more information, see page 12.
