Track layout

Joining the track sections

oin the track sections together

y inserting the pins of one track

section into the rail

openings of anoth-

er. For good electri-

cal contact, pins

must e carefully

inserted and track

joints tightly fitted.

If the track is dif-

ficult to connect,

try this installation

tip. You can “ reak

in” O-27 track sec-

tions y inserting

and withdrawing a

track pin into one

rail at a time efore

joining the entire

track section.

If the openings

ecome too open

(causing the track

to fit loosely), pinch the rail together

around a track pin with a pair of pli-

ers. If any pins fall out of the track

and are missing,

replace them with

extras availa le

from your Lionel

dealer.

Maintenance tip:

The rails should e

kept clean, dry, and

free from oil and

grease. Clean rust

and dirt spots with a

track eraser. Wipe the

track using a cloth

dampened with track

cleaner from the

Lionel Lu rication

and Maintenance kit

(no. 6-62927), avail-

a le from your near-

est Lionel Authorized

Value Added Dealer

or Lionel Service.

Track layout

Suggested track layouts

Here are some examples of layouts you can build with 8 straight and 8 curved sections of

track. Remember the more track you own, the more variations you can create in your

train layout. And that means more action and more fun!

Attaching the lockon to the track

he lockon connects power from

your controller to the track.

Attaching the lockon to the track

is quick and easy. First, place

the lockon under any

straight section of track.

Fit the center lip of

the lockon onto the

edge of an outside rail.

Press the lockon upward so that the

spring contact snaps onto the

center rail. The lockon

should face outward

when setting up your

track and make sure it is

firmly connected. Use the illus-

trations elow as a step- y-step

guide.

Once the lockon is securely

attached to the track, it’s time to

insert the wires from the controller

into the two spring clips on the lock-

on. See page 5 for easy-to-follow

steps.

Attaching the controller wires to the lockon

ow you’ll need to insert a controller

wire into each of the two spring clips

on the lockon.

It’s easy! Depress the spring clip with

your ﬁnger and insert the are end of

the wire into the exposed opening.

Release the spring clip. Give the wire a

little tug to make sure it’s secure. Repeat

these steps with the other spring clip.

Next, insert the small plug end of the

power pack into the ack of your con-

troller, and plug the other end into a

standard outlet.

If the horn fails to operate

when you press the horn ut-

ton on your controller (see

page 6), remove the wires

from the lockon and reinsert

each one into the opposite clip

to reverse polarity.

Plug this end into

ack of controller.

Stripping the wire

nce your track is assem led and

the lockon is

securely attached,

you can connect

the wires from

the controller to

the lockon.

First you‘ll want

to check the ends of the

wires to make sure that the insulation is

stripped ack a out 1⁄4" to 3⁄8". To strip

the wires, use a pair of

wire strippers

or a sharp

knife.

Caution:

Only an adult

should per-

form this task!

Always use care when stripping wires.

Note!

Plug power pack

into standard

wall outlet

Make sure that the are end

of each wire is securely

attached to the spring clip.

Controller operations

Controller functions

s you turn the throttle control kno

to the right, power to the track is

increased. When the indicator reaches

the green and, there should e sufﬁ-

cient power to operate the locomotive.

The further into the green area the kno

is turned, the faster your train will go.

Remem er that the greater the load on

the engine (adding more cars for the

engine to pull, for example), the farther

into the green the kno must e turned

efore it will operate the locomotive.

The yellow and indicates the aver-

age power range that the train will e

operating in. The red and represents

maximum power output.

our Lionel power pack is listed y

Underwriters La oratories Inc. and

has een carefully designed and tested

to ensure peak performance. The con-

troller is equipped with a uilt-in elec-

tronic circuit reaker that alternately

cuts off and restores the ﬂow of power

to the track whenever a short circuit

exists—for example, when the train

derails. The circuit reaker’s action con-

tinues until the cause of the short circuit

is eliminated. This circuit reaker is

incorporated into the controller to pro-

tect it from possi le damage. It will not

protect the locomotive or electrically

operated accessories, so it’s important

to eliminate short circuits as soon as

possi le.

The power pack must e

unplugged from the wall

socket when a short circuit

is noticed, and the short cir-

cuit must e corrected.

A short circuit is caused y a direct

connection etween the center rail and

one of the outside rails or y a direct

connection etween are wires. The

axles of a derailed car or locomotive are

the most frequent cause of short circuits,

so make sure that all wheels are proper-

ly set on the rails. Some other causes of

short circuits might e staples, nails,

paper clips, or other metallic o jects

lying across the rails, or two are wires

touching each other.

If too many cars or accessories are

used, your controller will exceed its

power limit and egin to cycle on and

off. To correct this pro lem, cars or

accessories must e removed efore

normal operation can resume. For more

power, see the line of Lionel high-out-

put transformers at your Authorized

Lionel Value Added Dealer.

The same condition can occur if the

power is turned up too quickly. This

also could cause your train to move too

fast and derail.

After your power pack has een oper-

ating for a while, you will ﬁnd it warm

to the touch. It is the nature of all electri-

cal power equipment to ecome warm

when in use. If your controller is loaded

to capacity, it is a good idea to let it cool

down after an hour or two of continu-

ous use. Unplug the power pack from

the wall when the controller is not in

use.

Note!

Controller and short circuits

Train operations

Reverse unit procedure

he reverse unit inside your Lionel

NW2 is an electronic device that

acts like the transmission in your car.

When you apply power to the track,

the locomotive moves in the direction

speciﬁed y the reverse unit—or it sits

in neutral, awaiting

another power inter-

ruption. Power inter-

ruptions are the sig-

nal that tells the

reverse unit to

sequence to the next

operational state.

To interrupt power

and sequence the

locomotive’s reverse

unit, press the direc-

tion control utton or

turn the throttle to the OFF position and

ONagain. The reverse unit alternates

etween three states: forward, neutral,

and reverse.

Also, the locomotive can e “locked”

into a certain mode of operation y

throwing the switch located on the

underside of the frame (see illustration

a ove). When the switch is thrown to the

OFF position, the locomotive will e

locked in the next mode of operation in

the sequence. For instance, if the locomo-

tive is moving forward, then is stopped

and the switch is thrown ack, the loco-

motive will e “locked” in neutral. If the

switch is thrown ack while the locomo-

tive is under power,

the locomotive will

remain in the mode it

was in when the

switch was thrown.

The controller direc-

tion control will then

have no effect on the

direction of the loco-

motive.

Additionally, this

reverse unit has a

“power-up reset”

feature, which means that should the

locomotive sit without power for a

short period of time, the reverse unit

will automatically reset and start in the

forward direction when the transformer

is turned on or “powered up,” regard-

less of the locking switch position. If the

locking switch is in the OFF position, the

locomotive will start in the forward

direction and e “locked” there.

Using your NW2’s magnetic couplers

our Lionel NW2 is equipped with

operating magnetic knuckle cou-

plers, a revolution-

ary design first

introduced y

Lionel in 1945.

Lionel magnetic

couplers react to the

magnetic ﬁeld gen-

erated y a Lionel

remote-control

track section (avail-

a le separately).

Place your lo-

comotive’s cou-

pler trigger disc

over the central

coil of a remote-control track section

and press UNCOUPLE on the controller.

The magnetic field pulls the disc

downward, and the knuckle opens.

One operating

technique favored

y Lionel railroaders

is the “moving

uncouple.” Press the

UNCOUPLE utton as

the NW 2 passes

over a remote-con-

trol section. The

magnetic ﬁeld will

open the coupler; the

consist remains

ehind as the loco-

motive moves on.

But e careful—the

speed of a newly uncoupled and moving

locomotive can increase dramatically.

Position your NW2’s trigger disc over

the remote-control section, then press

“uncouple.” The coupler opens.

he engine’s horn is activated y

the horn/whis-

tle utton on your

transformer. The

horn will sound as

long as the utton

is depressed.

If the horn doesn’t

sound, reverse the

leads to the track.

Please make sure

that the horn

switch located on

the underside of the fuel tank is

switched to the ONposition.

Sometimes dirt or grease on the track ,

wheels, and rollers

will accumulate

and cause the horn

to sound intermit-

tently. Cleaning the

wheels and track

should eliminate

this pro lem. We

suggest using the

Lionel Lu rication

and Maintenance

kit (no. 6-62927),

availa le at your local Lionel Authorized

Value-Added Dealer.

Horn operation

OFF

Move the horn switch to the “off” position

to deactivate the horn sound.

Tire-Traction™

our locomotive is equipped with

Tire-Traction. This means that

two of the drive wheels are fitted

with ru er traction tires to enhance

tractive effort so your locomotive can

pull many cars at once.

Lionel locomotives with Tire-

Traction grip the track, ena ling

them to pull heavy loads at higher

speeds.

elp your Lionel NW2 lead a long and

productive life on your railroad y

maintaining it properly.

We recommend you purchase a

Lionel Lu rication and Maintenance

Kit (no. 6-62927), availa le from your

Lionel dealer. Two asic rules to keep

in mind: never over-lu ricate (a small

amount will do), and avoid getting

grease or oil on the NW2’s wheels or

your track.

You’ll know your NW2 requires

lu rication when visual inspection

reveals dryness on the parts indicated in

the illustration. Remove accumulated

dirt and dust efore lu ricating, and

always lu ricate any locomotive emerg-

ing from prolonged storage.
