Prototypical Genset locomotive three diesel engines feature: Engines on the real locomotive
cycle on and off automatically to provide variable pulling power. To simplify maintenance, different
engines are used at different times, so that the total number of hours on each is kept relatively
equal. Your Lionel model reproduces this unique feature. Notice that the smoke output from each of
the three stacks changes, depending on which engine is operating.
When idling at RPM level 1 for an extended period, the Genset will enter standby mode. The diesel
engines will automatically turn off and every 30 seconds an electronic alert beep will sound to
warn working crew that the locomotive is in standby. To maintain fl uid and temperature levels, the
locomotive will automatically re-start one of its engines when necessary.
