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 whis-
tle/horn and bell button. Use the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE control switch to select between
LionChief remote operation 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. 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
powered locomotive responds to the transformer’s throttle, direction, horn, and bell buttons.
LionChief RC sound system
Your locomotive features a wide range of sounds to make operation even more realistic and
interactive! The revving sounds are synchronized with the speed of the locomotive. You
may choose to turn the sounds off by sliding the RPM/SOUND switch to the OFF position. See
page 5 for switch locations.

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 ElectroCouplers. Press the
bell button twice to operate the front coupler. Press the horn button twice to operate the rear
coupler.
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
control mode.

The LionChief Plus remote
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.
Figure 2. Opening and closing the battery compartment
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 acti-
vate 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.
COUPLER
The COUPLER button will activate
your locomotive’s couplers. Press two
times within ONE second to trigger the
ElectroCoupler on the rear pilot. Press
once to trigger the front coupler.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Press the center button for a variety of
announcements. See page 10 for more
information.
THROTTLE
Turn the throttle knob clockwise to go
forward 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 set 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.
When in remote mode and powered up on the track, the loco-
motive 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
forward or reverse, blow the whistle, sound the bell, or trigger an announce-
ment. Refer to page 7 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
Operating the ElectroCouplers with the LionChief remote
In LionChief remote mode, press the HORN/ElectroCoupler button two times within one sec-
ond 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 ElectroCouplers.
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—
including locomotives of the same type (e.g., two E33 Rectifiers with different road names
and/or road numbers). 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
addition, your locomotive plays a variety of announcements that are designed to match
the way you operate the train. You can trigger an announcement that corresponds to each part
of the journey. See page 13 to silence the sounds or adjust the volume level.
Note that the dialog is different between locomotive types (e.g., between GP7s and E33
Rectifiers.) As such, the actual announcements are not listed out in the table above.
