Operating your CW-80 Transformer safely

Your Lionel CW-80 Transformer is listed by Underwriter’s Laboratory Inc. and has been

carefully designed to ensure peak performance. When using electrical products, basic

safety precautions should be maintained.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines:

• Read the manual thoroughly before using this device.

• This device is not recommended for children under fourteen years of age.

• Parents should periodically inspect this product for potential hazards and, if necessary,

have them repaired by an authorized Lionel Service Center. In the event that such a condi-

tion exists, the transformer should not be used until it has been properly repaired.

• The CW-80 Transformer is intended to be used indoors. Do not use this device if water is

present. Serious or fatal injuries may result.

• Use the CW-80 Transformer only for its intended purpose.

• The CW-80 Transformer was meant to operate on 120-volt, 60-Hertz power. Do not connect

this product to any other power supply.

• Do not operate the CW-80 Transformer with a damaged cord, plug, or case.

• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the unit. There are no user service-

able parts inside. If damaged, take this product to a Factory Trained Lionel Service Station.

• Do not operate the CW-80 Transformer on your layout unattended. Obstructed accessories

or stalled trains may overheat, resulting in damage to your layout.

• Always unplug the CW-80 Transformer from the power source when not in use.

• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots on this product. Damage to sensitive

electronic components can result.

Creating your layout

Building your Lionel layout

Your set comes with eight curved, three straight, and one terminal section of track.

Figure 1 provides some examples of layouts that you can build with these track sections.

By adding more FasTrack track sections, you can create an endless number of exciting

track arrangements for more fun, action, and variety. The railroad empire of your dreams can

quickly become a reality!

FasTrack Add-on Track Packs make it easy to expand your railroad. Each Track Pack

includes all the track sections you need to create a more advanced layout using the sections

included with this set. Refer to Figure 2 to explore the possibilities.

Joining the FasTrack track sections

FasTrack track sections join together easily. With interlocking roadbed sections and large

rail tabs, the track fits together securely so you always get good electrical contact. Take a

look at Figure 3 to see how to join the track sections.

1. Line up your two sections of track.

2. Insert the rail tabs into the openings at the ends of the corresponding

rails.

3. Press the sections together until the interlocking roadbed snaps into

place.

Connecting your CW-80 Transformer

Creating your layout

Connect your FasTrack terminal section to the CW-80 Transformer. Use the wires that

are already attached to the terminal section. Make sure that all connections are secure.

Loose connections can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch

the terminals or track connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as

lichen or ground foam near the terminals.

1. Feed the wires through the notch in the FasTrack terminal section. Refer to

Figure 4 on page 8.

2. Loosen the red TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the red

spade-shaped connector into position. The thumbscrew post should be positioned

between the “blades” of the spade connector. Be sure that the blades are touching the

metal post. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the connection.

3. Loosen the black TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the black

spade-shaped connector into position. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the

connection. Be sure that the blades are touching the metal post. Tighten the thumbscrew

to secure the connection.

4. If you need to power an accessory (available separately at your

authorized Lionel dealer), connect the accessory to the ACCESSORY

thumbscrew terminals. Use the accessory wire included with the CW-80 Transformer.

5. Plug the CW-80 Transformer into your wall outlet (120 volts).

As your layout expands, you may also make power connections with the stripped ends

of wires, placing no more than two wires on each terminal. For best performance on large

layouts, it is recommended that you use 16-gauge wire to connect your CW-80 Transformer to

the track. On larger layouts where several track connections are required, the use of separate

junctions/terminal strips (available at your local electronics store) is recommended to

prevent voltage drops.

To prevent the excessive build up of heat, be sure to select the proper wire gauge

for your layout. Follow these guidelines:

• Track connections must be made with 18-gauge wire or heavier. Larger

layouts require a minimum of 16-gauge wire.

• Use 24-gauge wire only when connecting single accessories that require lower

current.

• When wiring multiple accessories (two or more) or accessories that require

higher current, be sure to use 18- to 16-gauge wire.

Caution!

Coupling

When coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left

in Figure 5. 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.

Note!

Running your train

Running your train set

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

Refer to the following section for information on coupling the cars.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating cur-

rent. 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 briefly bring the throttle

all the way back to the OFF position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION

button or interruption in track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next

operational state.

Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Note!

Refer to Figure 6 on page 11 for the location of the Transformer features listed in this section.

THROTTLE

Push the throttle forward to increase track power. The markings on the throttle approxi-

mate the percentage of full power. For more realism, push the throttle slowly to gradually

increase or decrease the speed of the locomotive. Slowing or stopping the locomotive with the

throttle instead of the DIRECTION button will allow you to continue in the same direction

when you increase the throttle again. To achieve this effect, reduce the throttle to the point

that the locomotive stops moving, but don’t completely turn off the throttle. That way, your

train won’t sequence into neutral.

DIRECTION

The DIRECTION control button interrupts track power to activate the reverse unit in your

locomotive. Your locomotive will not respond to this button when the reverse unit switch is in

the OFF position.

WHISTLE

The WHISTLE button will activate your locomotive’s whistle or horn. The sound will con-

tinue until the button is released. No external sound activation buttons are needed.

BELL

The BELL button will activate the bell sounds on locomotives equipped with this feature. Press

and hold the BELL button for two to three seconds to begin the sounds; press and hold the button

again to turn off the ringing.

Do not activate horns, whistles, or bells on RailSounds-equipped locomotives

until track power has been turned on for a few moments, or a continuous horn/

whistle or bell sound may occur. To correct this problem, simply turn off the CW-80

Transformer, then turn it back on.

POWER-ON INDICATOR

The green light will remain on during normal operation. The green light will begin to

flash if you exceed the power limit of the Transformer. The unit will allow you to momentarily

exceed the power limit, but power will be gradually reduced until the problem is corrected.

The benefit is that the Transformer will not instantly turn off.
