Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components. Note! Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-42 or larger track curves. LEGACY Control operations or the finest operating experience, your locomotive is fully compatible with the LEGACY Control System.
3. Increase track 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.
Figure 1 on page 4. 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.

Locomotive basics Locomotive switch locations he functions of your locomotive's switches are outlined below. Refer to Figure 6 for the location of the switches. The instructions below are specific to this particular locomo- tive; note that available features (and switches) may differ from other loco- motives and sets.
Locomotive basics Assigning your locomotive a new ID# or operation in the LEGACY or Command Control environment, you will want to give your locomotive a unique ID#. Your locomotive will respond to commands associated with its ID# while all other units will disregard these commands. This procedure is not necessary for conventional (non-Command) operation.
Locomotive basics Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only) n the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control your locomotives as one unit in a prototypical manner. It is still possible to control any of the engines in the lash-up individually. When you issue a train command, the individual engine you were controlling will return to the group.

System Operations Manual, available online at www.lionel.com. The Velocity Throttle The Velocity Throttle (the red rotary knob on the bottom of your Lionel remote) is used to start your engine moving, slow it down or speed it up. Use it simply by turning it clockwise (speed up) or counter-clockwise (slow down).
LEGACY Control System operations Warning Sound Controller Warning sounds are an important part of Lionel Railroading. Your Lionel Legacy Control System equipped engines have a real-time variable "quilling" whistle. Blow the whistle by pulling down on the Warning Sound Controller.
LEGACY Control System operations EFX Trim and EFX Bar Graph Sound and smoke effects of the engine can be trimmed higher or lower depending on your operating preference. Pressing the EFX up button will make the engine sound like it is working harder and will also increase the smoke output (if the smoke unit is turned on).

LEGACY RailSounds Sound System operations LEGACY RailSounds Sequence Control our LEGACY-equipped locomotive features Sequence Control. Based on the movement and speed of the locomotive, Sequence Control automatically plays the sound effects of an entire trip, from departure to destination, while you run your locomotive. Prototypical whistle signals, bell, and radio chatter are added automatically as you spin your throttle—no need to memorize a sequence of but- ton presses.
LEGACY Control System operations CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements in the LEGACY environment n addition to the automatic triggering of dialog via Sequence Control mode operation (see the pre- vious section), you may control the dialog manually. CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements feature a variety of brief radio conversations between the engineer and dispatcher.

To independently adjust the level of the background sounds only (e.g., chuffing and steam hiss), tap AUX1 and then this key. Volume settings are retaining when track power is turned off.
Conventional transformer operations Using the LEGACY RailSounds sound system in the conventional environment hen you first power up your locomotive, you will hear the sounds of the locomotive at rest. As the locomotive moves, the RPM sounds automatically increase with the locomotive’s speed. In the conventional environment, the whistle and bell sounds are activated by your transformer controls, if so equipped.
Conventional transformer operations Activating the CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements n the conventional environment, CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered by short whistle blasts and vary with the state of the locomotive. • If the locomotive has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short whistle blast triggers a “please standby”...
Conventional transformer operations Locking your locomotive into a single direction hen the Command 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 a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only), you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive Lubricating your locomotive elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it properly. To keep your locomotive lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer.
LEDs that are expected to last for the life of the locomotive. The LED’s are not user serviceable. If service is required, we recommend that you have your locomotive serviced at a Lionel Factory Trained Authorized Service Station.
Lionel has provided extra traction tires to replace the installed traction tires if they ever wear out. The traction tires are replaced by unscrewing the drive rod screws using the supplied wrench.
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive Installing the O-gauge coupler head n O-gauge coupler head is included with your locomotive for those who may wish to "double- head" their trains with a second VISION Line Hudson or another LEGACY-equipped locomotive. To swap out the coupler heads, simply loosen the screw that holds the front coupler in place (located on the underside of the locomotive toward the end of the coupler's shank) and slide the scale coupler out of the coupler pocket.
Note that smoke-related errors can be reset a maximum of three times. On the third try, if the problem still persists, the smoke unit will be shut down and must be returned to Lionel Service for repair.
Modification of this product in any way; visually mechanically or electronically, voids the warranty in its entirety. In the event service is required to this Vision Line locomotive, Lionel will, upon request of the original owner-purchaser, provide a prepaid UPS shipping label for the return of this product to the Lionel Service Department.
