Refer to page 5 for information on coupling the cars. Power up your locomotive with your transformer. Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are suitable. Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers. Note! The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC) transformers only.
Running your locomotive Coupling hen coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left in Figure 1. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward each other until they lock together.
Running your locomotive Reverse unit procedure hen the reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive sequences through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To “lock” your locomotive into forward operation only, you can deactivate the reverse unit’s sequencing function.
Conventional RailSounds operations Operating the conventional RailSounds sound system hen you power up the locomotive on the track, you will hear the sounds of the locomotive at rest. As the locomotive moves, the RPM sounds automatically increase with the locomotive's speed.
Conventional RailSounds operations Installing a Lionel Sound Activation Button for conventional operation f your transformer lacks WHISTLE/HORN and BELL buttons, you will need to install Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) to activate the locomotive’s whistle and bell sounds.
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.
