Problem: I do not hear any sounds from the locomotive.
Resolution:
The drawbar, which connects your locomotive to its tender, serves two purposes. It connects the loco-
motive and tender together and it serves as a four-conductor tether responsible for transferring the
speaker leads from the electronics inside the locomotive to the speaker inside the tender. Ensure the
male side of the drawbar (locomotive side) is fully and properly inserted into the female side of the
drawbar (tender side) and that the tops of each side of the drawbar are even with one another.
Make sure the sound on/off switch is positioned to the "on" setting and power is being applied to the
track. If the switch is set to the "off" position, only the horn/whistle and bell will be heard when the
commands are sent to the locomotive from the remote.
Problem: The locomotive does not smoke.
Resolution:
Ensure the smoke on/off switch is in the "on" position. The locomotive must be moving for smoke to
be seen ejecting from the stack. The locomotive will not smoke when sitting at idle. Ensure you have
added 4-5 drops of Lionel Liquid Smoke Fluid. It should only take 5-10 seconds for smoke to vaporize
and begin being ejected from the stack once the train begins to move. If you do not plan to use the
smoke feature on this locomotive be sure the smoke on/off switch is placed in the "off" position, so no
damage occurs to the smoke generator.
Problem: The LionChief Remote will not control the locomotive.
Resolution:
First, ensure the remote you are using to control the locomotive is the proper one, mated to that loco-
motive. Reference the road name and road number printed on the remote with the road name and
road number of the locomotive you are trying to control. Second, ensure you have installed three new
Alkaline AAA batteries into the remote and the on/off switch is set to the "on" position. Also, if you
have been running your locomotive with our LionChief app, make sure to un-link the engine. See
page 21.
The red LED at the top of the remote should be on steady when the speed dial is in the top dead center
position.
The LED will begin to blink when the throttle know is turned in either direction, slowly to quickly,
mimicking the speed you set for the locomotive. The sounds in the locomotive should be on when
you attempting to make the train go. If your locomotive will not move, you will need to take both the
wireless LionChief remote and the locomotive and tender to a local Factory Trained Authorized Lionel
Service Station or contact Lionel Customer Service for further assistance.
