Lionel VisionLine 3GS21B Owner's Manual page 2

Congratulations!
A
s a VISION Line™ locomotive, the 3GS21B GENSET SWITCHER is the most technically
advanced and realistic O Gauge diesel locomotive ever made. On the outside, this
gold standard engine features more realistic interior detail, exterior detail and decoration
than ever before. Inside the body you'll find the highest caliber electronics and sounds to
give you unprecedented operational realism. In addition to all the great features found
on Lionel Standard O locomotives, your 3GS21B GENSET SWITCHER is equipped with an
array of other realistic and dramatic effects including a removable cab roof for viewing a
highly detailed interior with illuminated gauges, 2 opening doors on the locomotives cab,
opening doors below the brakeman's window showing scale details underneath. Prototypical
features include 3 exhaust stacks that open at random and emit smoke. Smoke output is
synchronized to the diesel RPM of the Legacy RailSounds sound system. More than ever,
you are in control of the realistic effects and operation of your locomotive. The VISION Line
3GS21B GENSET SWITCHER locomotive is ready for duty on your layout.
Unpacking Your VISION Line locomotive
B
ecause of all the fine details and special features on your VISION Line locomotive, we
thought it best to really pack it tight, even better than our normal sturdy packing. This
VISION Line locomotive is the first ever packaged with ECO-friendly material, and also
includes a baseplate used to secure the locomotive while in transit. Both the container
and the baseplate are held together with velcro straps. Carefully remove the container and
baseplate from the box and set it on a flat surface. Remove the velcro straps and carefully
remove the shell and wrapping. Look at the bottom of the baseplate to locate the screws
that fasten the baseplate to the locomotive. With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws
while keeping the locomotive level. CAUTION: The handrails of your locomotive are the
antennas for the LEGACY system. The stanchions are plastic to insulate the handrails from
the die-cast body. The stanchions are very fragile, so do not squeeze them or the handrails
when unpacking the locomotive. Your VISION locomotive is now ready to place on the track.
PLEASE see the smoke fluid section Fig. 8, page 35 before you run your locomotive.
