Locomotive control

You may choose to control your LionChief Plus locomotive with the included LionChief remote

(using a transformer or power supply capable of supplying a constant 18 VAC or 18 VDC to the

track) or using a conventional three-rail AC transformer with a throttle and whistle/horn and bell

button. Use the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE control switch to select between LionChief remote opera-

tion or conventional three-rail AC transformer operation.

If you choose to run your locomotive in LionChief mode, slide the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch

to the REMOTE position. Your locomotive runs on ﬁxed 18 VAC or 18 VDC voltage, which is optimal

for the sound system and smoke system. The locomotive listens to commands from its LionChief

remote at a speciﬁc frequency to increase or decrease speed, change directions, trigger sounds, or

operate the ElectroCouplers. That’s why the locomotive and remote must be operated as a matched

pair.

If you choose to run your LionChief locomotive with a transformer, slide the TRANSFORMER/

REMOTE switch to TRANSFORMER position with the track power off. The locomotive responds to the

transformer’s throttle, direction, horn, and bell buttons.

Smoke

Your locomotive features an operating smoke unit that produces safe, clean, white smoke. Always

keep a small amount of smoke ﬂuid in the smoke unit when you are running your locomotive

with the SMOKE switch in the ON position. Slide the SMOKE switch to the OFF position if you do not

want to operate the locomotive with smoke. We recommend using only Lionel Premium Smoke Fluid

(6-37841, available from your authorized Lionel dealer).

LionChief RC sound system

Your locomotive features a wide range of sounds to make operation even more realistic and inter-

active! The diesel revving sounds are synchronized with the speed of the locomotive. You may

choose to turn the diesel sounds off by sliding the RPM/SOUND switch to the OFF position. See page 5

for switch locations.

LionChief Plus system features

ElectroCouplers

The ElectroCouplers can only be activated when the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch is in the

REMOTE position. For more information on activating the ElectroCouplers, see page 9.

Note that in Transformer mode, you should open the coupler on the car when coupling to your

train as you will not have remote control of the locomotive’s ElectroCoupler.

Switch locations

Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switches on the underside of the locomotive’s cab.

RPM/SND switch: Turns background sounds on and off. Horn, bell, and announcement are not

affected.

TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch: Toggles between Remote control mode and transformer con-

trol mode.

SMOKE switch: Turns the smoke unit on and off.

Installing AAA batteries into the Remote Control

For safety purposes, you must use a Phillips screwdriver to access the battery compartment. Use a

Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw that secures the battery compartment hatch and lift the

hatch to access the battery compartment (as shown in Figure 2). Insert three AAA alkaline batteries

orienting the +/- as shown in the bottom of the battery compartment. Replace the battery door and

tighten the Philips head screw. Be careful to avoid overtightening the screw.

Use only Alkaline AAA batteries. Use only new batteries. Never mix new and used

batteries or use different types together.

REMOVE ALL BATTERIES WHEN THE TRAIN WILL NOT BE USED FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

Important!

When you are not operating the train, move the On/Off switch to the Off

position to conserve the battery life.

ON/OFF SWITCH

To conserve your batteries,

move the On/Off switch to

the Off position when you are

done operating your train.

SPEED INDICATOR LIGHT

The red light will remain on during

normal operation. The light will begin to

ﬂash when the locomotive is in motion,

and the ﬂashing will vary with the

locomotive's speed.

BELL

The BELL button will

activate the bell sounds on

locomotives equipped with

this feature. Press the BELL

button to begin the sounds;

press the button again to

turn off the bell. Press

two times within

ONE second to

trigger the

ElectroCoupler on

the front pilot.

HORN

The HORN button will activate

your locomotive’s horn. Press two

times within ONE second to

trigger the ElectroCoupler on the

rear pilot.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Press the center button for a variety of

announcements. See page 10 for more

information.

THROTTLE

Turn the throttle knob clockwise to go for-

ward and adjust the speed. Turn the throttle

knob counter-clockwise to go reverse and

adjust the speed. To stop the train, simply

return the throttle knob to the

center position.

Running your locomotive with the LionChief remote

Slide the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch to the REMOTE position.

Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of this switch.

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

Power up the track to 18 volts (AC or DC) and move the remote power

switch to ON. When the locomotive is powered up, it will beep until it syncs with the

remote. When the locomotive is synced up with the remote, the locomotive start-up

sounds will begin to play.

If the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, add smoke ﬂuid to your

locomotive’s stack to prevent damage to the smoke unit. Refer to page 13

for additional information.

When in remote mode and powered up on the track, the

locomotive will continue to beep until it is synced up with its

remote. If the locomotive beeps during operation, be sure that

fresh batteries are installed properly in the remote and the

TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch is in the REMOTE position.

Move ‘em out! Use your remote to run your train. You can adjust the speed in for-

ward or reverse, blow the whistle, sound the bell, or trigger an announcement. Refer to

page 14 for complete details.

Turn off the power supply when you are done running your trains.

Switch off your remote control to conserve the batteries.

Remote operations

Caution!

Note!

Remote operations

Operating the ElectroCouplers with the LionChief remote

In LionChief remote mode, press the HORN/ElectroCoupler button two times within one second to

open the rear ElectroCoupler. Press the BELL/ElectroCoupler button two times within one second to

open the front ElectroCoupler. The buttons must be pressed quickly and then released in the period of

one second to activate the ElectroCoupler.

Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.

Note!

Operating multiple LionChief Plus locomotives

You may choose to operate more than one LionChief Plus locomotive at the same time—includ-

ing locomotives of the same type (e.g., two GP20s with different road names and/or road num-

bers). Each locomotive is paired with a unique remote. A locomotive will only respond to commands

from its corresponding remote.

If you attempt to operate two of the exact same locomotives (same type, roadname, and Lionel part

number), then one remote will control both locomotives simultaneously.

Triggering sounds and announcements with the LionChief remote

Press the announcement on the LionChief remote to trigger the corresponding sounds. In addi-

tion, your locomotive plays a variety of announcements that are designed to match the way you

operate the locomotive. You can trigger an announcement that corresponds to each part of the jour-

ney. See page 14 to silence the sounds or adjust the volume level.

Note that the dialog is different between locomotive types. As such, the actual announcements

are not listed out in the table above.
