Running your locomotive
Conventional transformer operations
For Conventional operation, a Command Base must not be powered up
Note!
anywhere in the area, even if it is not connected to the track. If a base is detected, your
locomotive will default to Command mode.
Note!
Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or
larger track curves.
Note!
To access ALL of the features of your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive you must operate in
the TMCC environment as described on page 6.
1. With track power off, place your locomotive on the track.
2. Power up the track. 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.
3. Move 'em out! When the locomotive's headlight illuminates and the LEGACY RailSounds
sound system starts, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your
locomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: neutral, forward, neutral, reverse,
neutral, and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive to the
next operating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time and after power interruptions
lasting longer than five seconds, it will start out in neutral.
Note!
Use the Whistle and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. For
more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of
this manual.
Note!
If your locomotive is running in Conventional mode, it can be interrupted by a Bluetooth
Control device. If you do not wish for this to happen, locate the Bluetooth ON/OFF switch
and move it to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 6 on page 8.
Adding fluid to your locomotive's smoke generator
Y
our LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe,
clean, white smoke during operation. The smoke generator for this locomotive supplies
the stack smoke effect. The reservoir contains the fluid and wick which, once saturated, sup-
plies the heating element with the right amount of fluid.
Note!
For best performance, we recommend using only 6-37841 Lionel Premium Smoke
Fluid.
