Lubricating the Engine

Lubricate all exposed moving parts before operating using a multi-purpose,

plastic-compatible oil (available with M.T.H.'s Maintenance Kit, sold

separately) or a light household oil. Follow the lubrication points.

Priming the Smoke Unit

You should prime the smoke unit with smoke fluid before operating. Add 15-20 drops of

smoke fluid from the included pipette through the smokestack, then gently blow into the

stack to eliminate any air bubbles in the fluid.

If you choose not to prime the unit with fluid, turn the smoke unit control located under

the tender to the OFF position (Full Counter Clockwise Position).

Running the engine without a primed smoke unit may cause damage. See the

"ProtoSmoke Unit Operation" section of this book for more information on smoke unit

maintenance.

Figure 2: Adding Smoke Fluid

Placing The Engine On The Track

Your MTH steam engine is equipped with a tetherless drawbar. There is no

unsightly cable or box showing between the engine and the tender to detract from

the appearance of the model. The electrical connections pass through conductors

in the drawbar, so it is important that the connector be properly inserted. The

connector is fixed to the rear end of the drawbar. The mating connector is

attached to a swivel connection on the front of the tender frame. The drawbar is

connected to the engine chassis with a screw and should not need any attention.

In order to mate the connectors of the drawbar and the tender, place the engine

and the tender on the track. Position the tender over the drawbar connector and

insert the drawbar pin on the swivel connector into the hole in the drawbar.

Now grasp the tender with both hands as shown below and place a finger on each

side of the drawbar near the connector. Now using your fingers, push the

connectors together. The connector will make a slight click when it is properly

seated. At this point you are ready to begin operating your engine.

DCS or DCC

If you are operating with command control you must set the selector switch to

DCC for DCC operation and DCS for DCS operation. Refer to page 14 to see

and learn about the differences.

CAUTION:

Do not apply DCS signals and DCC signals to the same track simultaneously.

The signals are not compatible, mixing the DCS and DCC signals will damage

the DCS TIU unit.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS ENGINE TO A TENDER FROM

ANOTHER ENGINE. ALSO, DO NOT CONNECT THIS TENDER TO

ANOTHER ENGINE. THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE. The

features and wiring in each model are unique and therefore engines and tenders

cannot be interchanged.

PS 3.0 Enhancements

Here are some of the exciting changes incorporated into your new MTH Proto-

Sound 3.0 Locomotives. More advanced features such as Custom Speed Tables

and Advanced Consisting can be found in the DCC section of this manual.

Conventional (Analog) AC/DC Start-up/Shut-down

Your new MTH PS3.0-equipped locomotive no longer has batteries. It uses Super

Capacitors to hold the engine board alive for a short time when you shut off or

interrupt track power. Because of this, when you first apply track power to your

PS3.0-equipped O Gauge engine, you will notice the headlight comes on but

nothing else. This is perfectly normal. The capacitors are charging up during this

time. The wait time depends upon how long it’s been since you last applied

power to the engine. Typically it will take 1-15 seconds to fully charge. NOTE:

The 1-15 second charging wait time ONLY applies to conventional AC track

power.

Once the headlight shuts off, the engine will play its start-up sounds and all the

lights will come back on, simultaneously. Smoke too if you have it turned on.

The capacitors hold enough charge to play the full shut-down sounds. Also, the

capacitors allow you to operate your engine in conventional mode just like you

would any other conventionally-controlled engine. Finally, because there are no

batteries, you will notice there is no external charge jack on the engine.

DCS/DCC Switch

Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine has a DCS/DCC selector switch (located on

the underside of the tender in steam engines). To operate the engine in DCS

mode, ensure the switch is set to DCS. If you wish to run the engine in DCC

mode, ensure the switch is set to DCC.

If you inadvertently leave the switch in DCC it won’t hurt anything, you just

won’t be able to communicate with your engine with your DCS system. Likewise,

if you leave the switch in DCS and try to operate the engine under DCC you

may notice a humming coming from your engine and you will likely notice that

your DCC system’s overload light will be on.

Programming Track (for DCC operation)

Your MTH PS3.0-equipped O Gauge engine can function on Programming Track

outputs from DCC systems. Most DCC systems can support the current

requirements of the engine as long as it’s not started up. If you plan on powering

up the MTH engine on your programming track, you may want to consider a

DCC Programming Track Booster.

Loading Engine Firmware

Lionel Corporation No. 255, 260 & 263 Steam Engines with Proto-Sound® 3.0

to the Loader program’s instructions for more details. So, as MTH releases new

features or updates you will be able to take full advantage without having to ship

your favorite engine anywhere. All new updates are available on our website.

MTH will make announcements as they are available. Not all updates will apply

to all engines.

NOTE: Requires a TIU w/ version 4.20 or later firmware, and requires

Consumer Loader version 2.30 or later.

LED Lighting

Gone are the incandescent bulbs. Your new PS3.0-equipped engine has LED

lighting. MTH uses various colored LEDs to simulate the correct lighting on

your engines from the warm, yellow-orange colored light coming out of an old

lantern on your favorite steam engine to the high-intensity halogen lamp on the

latest modern diesels, LED's allow for various, correct colors. Also, they require

less power and do not emit as much heat as incandescent bulbs.

Modes of Operation

There are 4 options for operating your MTH Proto-Sound 3.0-equipped engine;

-Conventional AC

-Conventional DC

-DCS - MTH Digital Command System

-DCC

When the locomotive is placed on the track and power is applied to the track the

locomotive will detect the type of control system being used and respond

accordingly.

Below is an overview of the 4 different systems.

NOTE: You’ll need to have the DCC/DCS switch set correctly if your using

one of those two modes.

Conventional AC Operation

When using conventional AC power, the engine will respond to changes in track voltage.

An increase in track voltage will increase the locomotive speed and a reduction in track

voltage will reduce the engine speed.

A short interruption (approximately 1 to 2 seconds) in the track voltage will cause the

engine to cycle in the sequence for each track voltage interruption (neutral – forward –

neutral – reverse) When power is first applied to the track, the locomotive will be silent for

1-20 seconds and the headlight will be on, indicating the super capacitors are charging

(The super capacitors provide power to the sound

Lionel Corporation No. 255, 260 & 263 Steam Engines with Proto-Sound® 3.0

system during direction changes or intermittent drops in track power due to dirty

track switches, when operating in conventional mode). When the super

capacitors are charged, all the lights will come on and the engine sounds will start up.

There should be no movement, as the engine is in neutral. Causing a short

interruption of track power by using the direction button on the transformer, or by

bringing the throttle to 0 volts and back again, will change the sequence to the

forward state. Then increasing the throttle will begin to move the engine forward, and

speed will increase as the throttle is advanced.

If there is another interruption in track power the sequence will change to the neutral

position again. The engine will remain in the neutral state until there is another

interruption in track power. The next interruption in track power will move the

sequence to the reverse state. The engine will now move in the reverse direction. If the

power interruption was accomplished by using the direction button and the throttle

position was not changed, the engine will run in the reverse direction at the same

speed that it was traveling in the forward position.

Subsequent interruptions in track power of 1-2 seconds will continue the sequence

rotation. If you happen to interrupt track power for longer than about 2 seconds, the

engine will begin its shut down sounds. If this occurs you can cycle the direction

sequence again to get back to the direction you wish to move and once the engine

starts moving its shut down sounds will stop playing (SEE PAGE 9 (direction cycle

phases)).

In conventional AC operation the whistle sound, the bell sound, PFA sounds and

other operational functions can be accessed if your transformer has a horn/whistle

button and a bell button. By using combinations of button presses, different

commands besides blowing the whistle and ringing the bell can be initiated.

Proto-Sound 3.0 Conventional AC Operating

Instructions

Activating Proto-Sound 3.0 Conventional AC Mode Features

Throttle - To increase or decrease track voltage, and therefore train speed, turn

the throttle control knob. Turning clockwise will increase voltage and speed,

while turning counterclockwise will decrease voltage and speed. The engine will

maintain the speed you set after you release the throttle until you turn it again to

change the voltage and speed.

Bell - To sound the bell, in an engine equipped with a bell firmly press and

release the Bell button. To turn the bell off, press and release the Bell button

again. The bell will continue to ring from the time you turn it on until you press

and release the button again to turn it off.

Lionel Corporation No. 255, 260 & 263 Steam Engines with Proto-Sound® 3.0

Horn/Whistle - To sound the whistle, firmly press the Horn/Whistle button.

The whistle will sound for as long as you continue to depress the button. It will

stop when you release the button.

Direction - Your train is programmed to start in neutral. The train will always

cycle neutral-forward-neutral-reverse with each press and release of the direction

button. The engine is programmed to restart in neutral each time the track

voltage is turned off for 25 seconds or more.

Fig. 7: Manual Volume Control

Proto-Sound 3.0 features are activated by sequences of Bell and Horn button

pushes described below. Please read the full descriptions of each feature before

using it. To use these buttons to activate features rather than to blow the horn or

ring the bell, you should tap the buttons very quickly with a ½-second pause between

button presses. You may need to practice your timing to make this work smoothly.

Manual Volume Control

To adjust the volume of all sounds made by this engine, turn the manual volume

control (fig. 7) clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to reduce

the volume. Turning the manual volume control completely counterclockwise

will turn of all of the engine sounds and announcements.

Passenger/Freight Announcements (PFA)

Your engine is equipped with a sound package of either passenger station

announcements or freight yard sounds that you can play when you pull into a

station or a yard. Each sequence described below will play as long as it is left on,

randomly generating sounds, but be sure to allow approximately 30 seconds

between the button pushes described below to allow the PFA sufficient time to

run through each sequence.

•To cue the sound system to play the PFA, quickly but firmly tap the

Bell button once followed by 2 quick taps of the Horn button while the

engine is moving. Tap the buttons quickly but allow approximately ½

second between each press.

• Press the Direction button once to stop the engine. This will trigger

the first sequence of PFA. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so

that the train will not move as you use the Direction button to trigger

the sounds. Proto-Sound 3.0 has disabled operator control over the

Horn and Bell

buttons until the full PFA sequence is complete.

•After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the

Direction button again to trigger the second sequence of PFA.

•After about 30 seconds, press the Direction button again to trigger the

third PFA sequence.

•Again, after allowing about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press

the Direction button one more time to trigger the fourth and final PFA

sequence. The PFA will continue and within a few seconds the bell will

begin ringing, then the engine will begin moving at the current throttle

setting, in the same direction it was traveling when you began the sequence.

Once the bell turns off, the operator regains control of the transformer's

bell and Horn buttons and can ring the bell or blow the Horn as

usual.
