Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating cur-
rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers
are suitable.
Note!
Get your locomotive moving!

Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral,
reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse unit, press the DIRECTION but-
ton on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle all the way back to the OFF
position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION button or interruption in
track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next operational state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
