LionChief Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem: I do not hear any sounds from the locomotive.
Resolution:
The drawbar, which connects your locomotive to its tender, serves two purposes. It connects the loco-
motive and tender together and it serves as a four-conductor tether responsible for transferring the
speaker leads from the electronics inside the locomotive to the speaker inside the tender. Ensure the
male side of the drawbar (locomotive side) is fully and properly inserted into the female side of the
drawbar (tender side) and that the tops of each side of the drawbar are even with one another.
Make sure the sound on/off switch is positioned to the "on" setting and power is being applied to the
track. If the switch is set to the "off" position, only the horn/whistle and bell will be heard when the
commands are sent to the locomotive from the remote.
Problem: The locomotive does not smoke.
Resolution:
Ensure the smoke on/off switch is in the "on" position. The locomotive must be moving for smoke to
be seen ejecting from the stack. The locomotive will not smoke when sitting at idle. Ensure you have
added 4-5 drops of Lionel Liquid Smoke Fluid. It should only take 5-10 seconds for smoke to vaporize
and begin being ejected from the stack once the train begins to move. If you do not plan to use the
smoke feature on this locomotive be sure the smoke on/off switch is placed in the "off" position, so no
damage occurs to the smoke generator.
