Note! Included with your Lionel 777 Commodore Vanderbilt steam locomotive

are two plain center drive wheels that you may choose to have installed.

Because installation requires the removal and reinstallation of some of the

linkage we recommend that you have your local Authorized Lionel

Service Center perform this service.

You own one of the most sophisticated

model trains ever built—the Lionel

TrainMaster®Command-equipped 777

Commodore Vanderbilt steam locomo-

tive. From the look of rippled sheet steel

on its massive boiler to the advanced

technology within your Lionel

Commodore Vanderbilt is ready for duty

on your model railroad. Experience the

superiority of today’s Lionel.

Power up your Commodore with your transformer.

• Your Commodore is designed to pull 6 heavyweight passenger cars up a

standard Lionel trestle set. In conventional transformer controlled oper-

ation a minimum of 12 volts is required. In Command Controlled oper-

ation a minimum of 16 volts is required. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-

compatible alternating-current transformers are suitable; we recommend

the TrainMaster Command model railroad control system.

• O NOT POWER YOUR COMMO ORE WITH IRECT CURRENT (DC). Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the Commodore will wait between 3

and 8 seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster

Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a con-

ventional (nonCommand) railroad the Commodore’s headlight will illumi-

nate and Railsounds will fire up. At this point the Commodore is in neutral.

(This occurs when placing the Commodore on your railroad for the first time.

Thereafter it starts in forward after every three-second power interrupt.)

Note!

Move ‘em out!

• Get your Commodore moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1

remote or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Liontech Command

reverse unit (LCRU2) to the next operating state.

• Adjust track voltage until your Commodore moves at your desired speed.

Transformer operations

Running your Lionel Commodore Vanderbilt with a Lionel trans-

Place your Commodore on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O gauge track.

• Note the pull of Magne-Traction®between your Commodore and the steel

track. Magnetized wheels and axles increase pulling power (more than 25 cars

on straight and level track) and keep your Commodore on track while pass-

ing swiftly through curves. Your Commodore will negotiate O-42 and larger

curves. Your Commodore Vanderbilt locomotive also comes with traction

tires on the center drive wheels for

extra railhead grip

• With track power OFF, Connect

the drawbar between locomotive

and tender. Thats all you have to

do with Lionel’s new Wireless

Tether® an infrared communica-

tion system that eliminates the

plugs and wires of the past.

Locking your Commodore into a single operational state

Transformer operations

To select a single operational state for

your Lionel Lionel Commodore

(example: forward only) you can deacti-

vate the LCRU2’s sequencing function

with the reverse unit control switch

located between the rear and center dri-

vers on the right-hand side under the

boiler casting.

Get your locomotive moving in the

desired direction then slow it down

without stopping. Set the reverse unit

control switch to PROGRAM/LOCK.

The Lionel Commodore is now

“locked” into your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-

direction operation just slide the

reverse unit control switch back to

FORWARD/ RUN.

FORWARD/RUN

PROGRAM/LOCK

Use this setting for

normal operations.

Use this setting to choose

a single operational state

like “forward.”

Your Commodore’s Railsounds system—the basics

Lionel Railsounds is the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the

world. Your Commodore features the

Railsounds

Hudson digital

sound system

for the ultimate

in realism.

Begin by in-

stalling a 9-volt

alkaline battery

in the tender.

This ensures

interruption

free operation

of Railsounds.

The battery

compartment

is located be-

neath the ten-

der’s removable coal hatch doors.

Connect the 9-volt alkaline battery to the

board.When you first apply track power

the Commodore’s Railsounds system

produces sounds of the locomotive at

rest. As the Commodore moves chuff-

ing begins increasing with the locomo-

tive’s speed.

To silence the

steam chuffing

(whistle/bell

are unaffected)

slide the

Railsounds

switch located

beneath the

coal hatch

doors to the

OFF position

before powering

up the locomo-

tive. The whis-

tle is activated

by using the

lever or button

on your transformer or CAB-1. The vol-

ume control knob to raise or lower the

level of sound is located under the ten-

der hatch doors near the battery location

(see above).

Install a 9-volt alkaline battery in your Commodore s

tender.

Railsounds switch

Volume control dial

Although Railsounds is

battery is required for uninter-

rupted operation and shut-

down sequences. Use only

alkaline batteries.

Note!

Discontinue locomotive

power for 10 seconds before

changing the Railsounds

ON/OFF switch position.

Note!

If Railsounds “drops out”

during track power inter-

rupts (direction change)

replace the battery.

Note!

With Railsounds you experience

the sounds of real railroading like

never before. Simply put it’s the most

sophisticated authentic model railroad

sound system in the world. And

remember—inside your Lionel 777

Commodore are the sounds of the

Railsounds Hudson digital sound sys-

tem. No other electric train can offer

you authentic Hudson sounds. That s

the power of Lionel.

• Variable chuff rate. Your Commodore’s

speed determines the steam chuff rate.

• MultiWhistleTM. Different whistles

every time—a Railsounds exclusive.

• Authentic bell. Press BELL on your

CAB-1 or transformer to begin the

effect again to discontinue. Even the

final “hit” is muted like the real thing.

• Reverse unit reset sound. Power

down your track wait for 3-5 seconds

and listen for the air-release sound—

that’s the Commodore telling you its

Liontech Command reverse unit has

just reset to forward operation.

• Shutdown sequence. No other

model railroad sound system shuts

down like Railsounds. Turn off track

power and after the air-release reset

sound you have two seconds to restart

your Commodore. If you’re done with

operations Railsounds will commence

with an authentic Hudson shutdown

sequence about two seconds after the

air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your Commodore’s Railsounds system

Notes on Railsounds

• Use the volume control dial located

beneath the tender’s coal hatch doors

to adjust sound output (see page 5).

• Listen for incidental engine sounds

during Railsounds operation. They’re

automatic and of course authentic.

• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed

ensures continuous Hudson sounds even

during short track-power interrupts.

• Longer track-power interruptions (includ-

ing locomotive derailments) cause Rail-

sounds to shut down after about 7 seconds.

• For even more authentic Railsounds

effects operate your Commodore in the

TrainMaster Command environment. See

page 8 for details.

Note!

Installing the Lionel sound activation button

The no. 610-5906-001 button works with any Lionel AC transformer

except no. 6-4690 Type MW. Transformers made by other manufacturers

may not be compatible with Railsounds.

Note!

To operate the bell and whistle sounds

when operating your Commodore

with conventional transformers you’ll need

to install the Lionel no. 610-5906-001 sound

activation button (available separately).

TrainMaster Command operations

Your Commodore in the TrainMaster Command environment

Lionel TrainMaster Command is the fun

and sophisticated model railroad con-

trol system from Lionel. Your

Commodore features the Liontech

Command reverse unit which acts as

both a conventional reverse unit as well as

the key to unlocking many extra features

when you operate in Command mode.

TrainMaster Command gives you the

power to operate multiple Command-

equipped locomotives on the same track,

at the same time. It’s the most fun you

can have with electric trains and it’s

incredibly easy too! Just follow the

directions below and you’ll be on your

way.

TO OPERATE IN COMMAN , YOU NEE A

COMMAN BASE AN A CAB-1 REMOTE.

Find them both at your authorized

Lionel retailer.

Place your Commodore on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible O gauge track.

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.

• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communi-

cations wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel

transformer or the U on any of your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track increase track voltage to FULL (on

PowerMaster slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD)

• A minimum of 16 volts is required to operate this locomotive in

Command Control

Address your Commodore with CAB-1.

• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote.

This command is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base which then

translates your commands into digital code. That code is sent

around your railroad’s outside rails in the form of a digital “halo.”

All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital communica-

tion but they do not respond until they hear their own ID number.

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track

power—controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track

power is simply like gasoline in the tank of your car—it gives you

the power to go places but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how

fast to get there.

• All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with

an I # of “1.” To change your Commodore’s ID# see page 12.

Move ‘em out!

•Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your

Commodore will respond to your every command. Read on. The fun

is just beginning!

Railsounds in the Command environment

Your Commodore’s Railsounds sys-

tem gives you even more in the

TrainMaster Command environment.

• ynaChuffTM

.Real steam locomotive

chuffing depends on the locomotive’s

load. DynaChuff simulates both labored

and relaxed chuffing sounds. Highball

down the mainline and hear the labored

chuffing of a locomotive battling inertia.

Reduce your throttle setting and chuffing

relaxes to a more sedate sound as though

the load placed on the Commodore has

decreased. Experience DynaChuff on

steep grades at yard crawls and at speed.

Another Railsounds exclusive.

• Bonus sounds like squealing brakes

with the CAB-1 BRAKE command.

• Incidental sounds you control with

CAB-1 numeric keypad commands like

steam letoff and steam release effects.

CAB-1 numeric keypad commands for your Commodore

TrainMaster Command operations

When you press AUX1 on CAB-1

you turn the numeric key-

pad into 10 command but-

tons. The keypad “stays open”

and gives you access to extra

command features until you

press any top-row button

(SW ACC RTE TR or ENG). The

CAB-1 keypad overlay included

with your Commodore is

designed to help you learn

the auxiliary features specific

to this classic locomotive.
