With track power off, place your locomotive set on the track.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.
Your locomotive is designed to operate on 18 volts alternating current.
Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are suitable.
Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers.
The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC)
transformers only.
Move ‘em out!
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 button on your transformer, or briefl y bring the throttle all the way back
to the OFF position and then forward, for one to four seconds. When track power is inter-
rupted, the locomotive advances to the next operational state.
Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Connect the drawbar between the locomotive and tender.
See Figure 1.
If the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, add Lionel smoke fl uid to your
locomotive’s stack to prevent damage to the smoke unit. Refer to
page 5 for additional information. We recommend that you use
Lionel smoke fl uid only.
Caution!
Note!

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator
Y
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 7 for the loca-
tion of the switch.
The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to function.
Add 10-15 drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke production will commence
after running for several minutes. It will start faster if you run your locomotive at higher speeds.
When smoke production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops).
Caution! When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount of
smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke generator; the generator’s element can become
damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true if your locomotive
sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke fluid in the generator.
If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add smoke
fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.
Note!
For best performance, we recommend that you use Lionel smoke fluid
only.
Note!
Coupling
When coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left
in Figure 2. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward
each other until they lock together.
Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.

OFF ON
When the 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 forward operation only, you can deactivate the reverse unit’s
sequencing function. Follow the steps below and refer to Figure 3 for the location of the reverse unit
switch.
1. Turn off track power, wait three seconds, and then remove the locomotive from the track.
2. Slide the reverse unit switch to the LOCK position. See Figure 3 for the location of this switch. At
this point, the locomotive is “locked” into forward direction operation.
3. Place your locomotive back on the track. Power up the track and press the DIRECTION button on
your transformer to confirm that the locomotive is locked in forward-only operation.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, turn off track power and remove your locomotive
from the track. Slide the reverse unit switch back to the RUN position, then place the locomotive back
on the track.
Conventional RailSounds operations
Operating the conventional RailSounds sound system
When you power up the locomotive on the track, you will hear the sounds of the idling steam
locomotive. The chuffing sounds will increase proportionally with the locomotive's speed. Use
the volume control knob to adjust the volume. See Figure 4 for the location of this control, which is
concealed under the hatch on the deck of the tender.
Whistle/Horn
Press the WHISTLE/HORN button on your transformer to sound the whistle/horn. The sound
will play for as long as you hold the button.
Bell
Press the BELL button on your transformer to activate the bell sound. Press BELL again to dis-
continue the sound.
Crew dialog
CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered by short whistle blasts and depend on
whether the locomotive is moving or standing still, as well as the duration.
• If the locomotive has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short whistle blast triggers a
"please stand by" dialog.
• If the locomotive has been stopped for longer than 15 seconds, a short whistle blast triggers a
"clear outbound" announcement.
• If the locomotive is moving, a short whistle blast triggers an "all clear ahead" dialog.
• If the locomotive is mving and the bell is on, a short whistle blast triggers a "slow to restricted
speed" dialog.

Installing a Lionel Sound Activation Button for conventional opera-
tion
If your transformer lacks WHISTLE and BELL buttons, you will need to install Lionel
no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) to activate the locomotive’s
whistle and bell sounds.
Connect the buttons as shown below. Be sure that all track power passes through the Sound
Activation Button(s). Do not bypass the buttons.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Lubricating your locomotive
H
elp your steam locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it
properly.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927),
available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate
(a small amount will do) and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive’s wheels, contact
rollers, or your track.
You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on the
parts indicated in Figure 5. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and always lubri-
cate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.
