track curves.
Powering your locomotive
Y
our locomotive is designed to work with either AC or DC power.
AC Power: Use an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer for Legacy, Bluetooth, or
Conventional control. Powering your locomotive in excess of 19 volts AC may result in damage to
sensitive electronic components.
DC Power: Use a DC transformer for Bluetooth control only. You locomotive is not designed to
operate with Legacy or conventional control while using DC power. Powering your locomotive in
excess of 19 volts DC may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
LEGACY controller operations
Y
our LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive is compatible for operation with the Lionel LEGACY system.
It will also operate on the original Lionel TrainMaster System (TMCC1) and also on the LEGACY
Cab-1L / Base-1L operating system.
Your commands are sent by the Remote Controller to the Command Base, which broadcasts
a radio frequency that is distributed through the outer rails of the track to your locomotives.
Your locomotive will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#, so you can operate multiple
Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time.
1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the LEGACY Base and connect it to the track.
2. Place your locomotive on the track.
3. Increase track power voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). If a circuit
breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to
make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that
may cause a short circuit.
4. As illustrated in Figure 1, press ENG and 1 (or your selected ENG ID#) to address the
locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote Controller.
