3Move ‘em out!

Place your E-6 set on Lionel or

Lionel-compatible O gauge track.

2Power up your E-6 set with your transformer.

• Your E-6 set is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating cur-

rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transform-

ers are suitable.

• Do not power your E-6 set with direct current (DC). Damage to sensi-

tive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the E-6 will pause between three and

eight seconds. After this pause, RailSounds in the powered E-6 unit will fire up,

the headlight of the powered E-6 unit will turn on, and the cab lights in both

units will illuminate. At this point, your E-6 set is in neutral. This occurs only

when placing your E-6 set on the track for the first time. Thereafter, they start in

forward after every three-second interruption of power.

Note!

Transformer operations

• Get your E-6 set moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or

Lionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel reverse unit to the next operating

state.

• Adjust track voltage until your E-6 set moves at your desired speed. To

increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop

the locomotive, turn-off track power.

• See page 4 for information on locking your E-6 in a single operat-

ing state.

Running your Lionel E-6 set with a Lionel transformer

To select a single operational state for

your Lionel E-6 set (example: forward

only), you can deactivate the reverse unit’s

sequencing function with the reverse unit

control switch.

Get your locomotive moving in the

desired direction, then slow it down without

stopping. Set the reverse unit control switch

on the Powered E-6’s underside to PRG. The

E-6 is now “locked” into your chosen direc-

tion.

When you no longer want single-direc-

tion operation, just slide the reverse unit

control switch back to RUN.

Your locomotive’s reverse unit will

“reset” to forward after any five

second or longer power interruption, regard-

less of original locked-out direction.

Using your Powered and Non-Powered E-6 Set’s ElectroCouplers in the

non-Command environment

The front of each E-6 unit features an

ElectroCoupler that responds to com-

mands from your CAB-1 remote in

Command Control.

To use the ElectroCoupler on your

Powered and Non-Powered E-6 set in the

non-Command environment, you must cou-

ple a piece of rolling stock equipped with

Lionel magnetic couplers directly to your E-

6 set’s ElectroCouplers. The magnetic cou-

pler on the rolling stock–not the

ElectroCouplers on the engines–will then

react to the magnetic field generated by a

Lionel remote-control track section (avail-

able separately). Place your rolling stock’s

coupler “trigger disc” over the central coil

of a remote-control track section (available

separately) and press UNCOUPLE on the

controller. The magnetic field pulls the disc

downward, and the coupler opens.

Your E-6’s ElectroCouplers

will NOT open manually or

by using a remote-control

track section.

Note!

To operate the bell and horn sounds when

operating your locomotive with conven-

tional transformers, you’ll need to install the

Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation

Button (available separately). Connect the

button(s) as shown below.

All track power must feed through

the Sound Activation Button. Do

not bypass the button.

Help your Lionel E-6 set lead a long and

productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly.

We recommend that you purchase a

Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit

(no. 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

E-6’s wheels or your track. You’ll know your

E-6 requires lubrication when visual inspec-

tion reveals dryness on the parts indicated in

the illustration. Remove accumulated dirt

and dust before lubricating, and always

lubricate any locomotive emerging from

prolonged storage.

Servicing your E-6’s lamps

Your E-6 units are illuminated by an

L.E.D. circuit board and several small

lamps. During the course of normal opera-

tion, the L.E.D. and lamps may require

replacement.

Due to the delicate wiring and soldering

operations, we recommend that you have

the replacement done at a Lionel Service

Station. See the Lionel Service section on

page 20 for more information.

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

Both “A” units are equipped with a

smoke generator that produces safe,

clean, white smoke during operation.

Periodically, you will need to add smoke

fluid to the locomotives; a small tube of

smoke fluid and a special tip are included

with this set.

To add smoke fluid, pierce the end of the

tube with a pin, then apply the special tip.

Before you begin, be sure that your locomo-

tive is on a level surface with the smoke

generator off. Twist and pull off the plug at

the center of the locomotive, then insert the

tip into the hole. The tip must point to the

rear of the locomotive. Lean the tube

toward the front of the engine, then add 4-8

drops of fluid. Experiment with the flow of

the smoke fluid to prevent overfilling the

smoke generator. When smoke production

wanes, add 4-8 drops of smoke fluid in the

same manner. Additional smoke fluid (no.

6-62909) is available from your Lionel deal-

er. Save the tube and the special tip for use

with this set.

To turn off the smoke generators, slide

the SMK/NO SMK switch at the bottom of

each locomotive to the NO SMK position (see

page 4 for the location of this switch). When

the smoke generator is on, be sure that there

is smoke fluid in the smoke generator to

avoid damage. Smoke production is greater

when the locomotive is pulling a heavy load

and at higher voltages.

WARNING: Never operate the smoke unit when dry. This will cause the smoke unit to over-

heat and may damage your engine.

Note!

Conventional Operation

• Setting Speed Control

1. Run the engine at the desired speed for approximately five seconds.

2. Press and hold the horn button on your transformer or CAB-1.

3. While holding the horn button, increase the track voltage by at least three volts (at

least 1/4 turn on CAB-1).

4. Speed control is set. (NOTE: Engine speed will increase slightly, then will return to the

set speed.)

• Turning Off Speed Control:

1. While the engine is in neutral, turn your transformer or CAB-1 up to the maximum

power (no more than 20 volts), wait one second, then press and hold the horn button.

2. While holding the horn button, slowly reduce track voltage to 1/4 the full power.

3. Release the horn button.

4. Cycle the engine to forward/reverse. The engine is now out of speed control mode.

In conventional operation, the smoke unit and lights are connected directly to

track power. Do not exceed 14-16 volts for extended periods. Doing so will cause

damage to the locomotive.

Command Operation

While in the Command Control environment, the speed control feature of the Odyssey

System is always on. When turning the throttle, the speed of the engine will respond to each

signal from the Command Base. Example: Address the engine and slowly turn the throttle. The

first red light flash on the Command Base corresponds to the first speed step. This is the slow-

est speed of the locomotive.

Odyssey™ System operations

Odyssey System operations

Odyssey System is a “cruise control” for

your engine. Once the speed is set (see

below), your engine will maintain a con-

stant speed, no matter what loads or grades

you have on your layout. This digitally-con-

trolled system also allows for extremely slow

movement that will amaze any “scale”

enthusiasts.

Caution!
