Reprogramming the Command reverse unit to restore features

D ue to inevitable derailments and static,
it is possible that your Command
reverse unit could someday lose its setup
program. The symptom of this condition
would be unresponsiveness in Command
mode. This can be easily remedied by
"reprogramming" your Command reverse
unit using the following steps.
STEP 1: Move the switch on your
locomotive from FWD/RUN to PROG/LOCK.
STEP 2: Plug in your Command Base.
STEP 3: Place the locomotive on track,
then turn on power to your track.

Lubricating your locomotive

H
elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long
and productive life on your railroad by
maintaining it properly.
We recommend that you purchase a
Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit
(no. 6-62927), available from your Lionel
dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never
over-lubricate (a small amount will do), and
Lubricate with Lionel grease
sparingly
Lubricate with Lionel oil sparingly

STEP 6: Turn off power to your track and
wait ten seconds.
STEP 7: Remove the locomotive from your
track, and move the switch from

avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive's

lubricate any locomotive emerging from
prolonged storage.
