Running your train Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 3 on page 6 for the location of the switch.
Running your train Reverse unit procedure he electronic reverse unit inside your Lionel locomotive acts like the transmission in a car. When you apply power to the track, the locomotive moves in the direction specified by the reverse unit—or it sits in neutral, awaiting another power interruption. Power interruptions are the signal that tells the reverse unit to sequence to the next operational state.
Running your train Sounding your locomotive’s whistle ress the HORN/WHISTLE button on your controller to sound the locomotive's whistle. If your controller does not have a HORN/WHISTLE button, install a Lionel Sound Activation Button (available separately, part no. 610-5906-001). Connect the button as shown in Figure 4. All track power must feed through the Sound Activation Button.
