Quick Start

Transformer operations

1. Slide the Odyssey System switch to the NO ODY position to operate without

speed control. To operate your locomotive with speed control, slide the Odyssey System

switch to the ODY position and refer to pages 17-19.

2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.

3. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)

transformer.

Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

4. Wait three to eight seconds until the locomotive’s headlight illuminates

and the RailSounds sound system starts up.

5. Move ‘em out! Press the DIRECTION button on your controller, then

throttle up.

TrainMaster Command Control operations

To operate your locomotive in the Command Control environment, you need a Command

Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately,

6-12868).

1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base.

2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.

3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).

Do not power your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer. Damage to

sensitive electronic components may occur.

4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote

Controller.

5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.

Note!

Conventional transformer operations

Conventional operations

Your locomotive is capable of operating in the conventional environment with nothing more

than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.

In the conventional environment, your locomotive cycles through a repeating pattern of

operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to the next operation, press

the DIRECTION button on your transformer. Alternately, you could use the throttle to briefly

turn off track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operation when power is

restored.

Once you cycle the locomotive into forward or reverse, you control your locomotive’s speed

by varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase the speed of the locomotive,

you increase track voltage. To decrease the speed, you decrease track voltage. To stop the

locomotive and to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage is turned off or

interrupted.

Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer (or separate buttons if your

transformer is not equipped with these controls) to activate these features.

To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend operating in the TrainMaster

Command Control environment. With a simple one-wire connection, you can use the CAB-1

Remote Controller to access all of the functions of your locomotive. Refer to pages 20-28 to see

how to operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.

Conventional transformer operations

Operating your locomotive in the conventional environment

1. Slide the Odyssey System switch to the NO ODY position to operate without

speed control. To operate your locomotive with speed control, slide the Odyssey System

switch to the ODY position and refer to pages 17-19.

Keep the Odyssey System switch in the NO ODY position when you are not running

your locomotive with speed control.

2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track.

3. Power your locomotive at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)

transformer.

Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.

Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer may result in

damage to sensitive electronic components.

4. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotive determines whether it is in

a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Control

environment.

When the locomotive has determined that a TrainMaster Command Base is not connected to

the track, the locomotive’s headlight will illuminate and the RailSounds sound system will

start. You are ready for operation in the conventional environment.

5. Move ‘em out!

Press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your locomotive through

the repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. You may

also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive to the next operating state. Adjust

the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time, it will start out in

neutral. Thereafter, it will start in forward after every power interruption lasting five

seconds or longer.

Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Refer to

page 13 if your transformer is not equipped with those buttons. Adjust the volume using the

volume control knob located on the left hand side of the fuel tank. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10.

Note!

Caution!

Conventional transformer operations

Locking your locomotive into a single direction

When the Command 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 a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only),

you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function. Refer to Figure 1 for the

location of the Command reverse unit switch.

1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get your

locomotive moving in the desired direction or into neutral.

2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off track

power).

3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch to the PGM position. At this point, the locomotive is

“locked” into your chosen direction.

To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the Command reverse unit switch

back to the RUN position.

Your locomotive will “reset” to forward after any power interruption lasting five

seconds or longer, regardless of the direction you set.

Conventional transformer operations

Uncoupling your locomotive in the conventional environment

Your locomotive features two ElectroCouplers that are released by remote control at any

point around your layout in the TrainMaster Command Control environment.

In the conventional environment, the ElectroCouplers will not open manually or by using a

Remote-Control Track section. To couple your locomotive in the conventional environment, you

must rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with a magnetic coupler. Simply release the

magnetic coupler and couple the rolling stock to the locomotive, even if the ElectroCoupler is

closed.

Keep in mind that you may still make use of Lionel Remote-Control Track sections (6-65530

for O gauge; 6-12746 and 6-65149 for O-27 gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts) with the

magnetic couplers on the rolling stock. Place the trigger disc on the magnetic coupler over the

central coil on the Remote-Control Track section, then press UNCOUPLE on the track section’s

controller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, releasing the

coupler.

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations

Your locomotive is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds 5.0 sound system, the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds 5.0 sound system brings the

sounds of the railroad to your layout through high quality sound recordings of real

locomotives.

When you operate your locomotive in the conventional environment, you get the realistic

sounds of the diesel motor, which automatically revs up as the speed of the locomotive

increases. You can sound the locomotive’s horn or activate the ringing of the mechanical bell.

CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered with the horn button on your

controller. When you are through with operations and power down the track, your locomotive’s

RailSounds 5.0 sound system starts a realistic shutdown sequence (a nine-volt alkaline battery

is required, see page 10).

When you operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you

get full control of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system. In addition to the horn and bell sounds, the

locomotive’s RPM sounds automatically rev up, and you can also set a particular RPM level

using your CAB-1 Remote Controller. In the Command Control environment, the release of the

ElectroCouplers is accompanied by a coupler release sound. Use the BRAKE button, and listen

for the sound of squealing metal. You can also trigger CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom

announcements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive crew and the

dispatcher. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotive, the realistic shutdown sequence

commences (a nine-volt alkaline battery is required if track power is turned off, see page 10).

RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations

Installing the battery

While the RailSounds 5.0 sound system is powered through the track, we recommend that

you install a nine-volt alkaline battery to prevent the sound system from shutting down

during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or a dirty section of track). Follow

these steps and refer to Figure 3 as you install the battery.

If the RailSounds 5.0 sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you

may need to replace the battery.

1. Carefully unsnap and remove the radiator vent panel.

2. Remove the protective cover from the battery harness.

3. Snap the battery harness onto the nine-volt alkaline battery’s terminals.

4. Slide the battery into the battery clip.

5. Replace the radiator vent panel.
