Operating your PowerMax Plus Transformer safely

Your Lionel PowerMax Plus 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 eight 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 PowerMax Plus Transformer is intended to be used indoors. Do not use this device if

water is present. Serious or fatal injuries may result.

• Use the PowerMax Plus Transformer only for its intended purpose.

• The PowerMax Plus 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 PowerMax Plus 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 an authorized Lionel Service Center.

• Do not operate the PowerMax Plus Transformer on your layout unattended. Obstructed

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

• Always unplug the PowerMax Plus 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!

Creating your layout

Figure 1. Track layout ideas

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 2 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.

Wiring your PowerMax Plus Transformer

Creating your layout

Connect your FasTrack terminal section to the PowerMax Plus 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 3.

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

shaped connector on the red wire 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 spade-

shaped connector on the black wire 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. Plug the PowerMax Plus 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 PowerMax Plus

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

Larger layouts require a minimum of 16-gauge wire.

Running your trains

Running your train set

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

Refer to page 10 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.

Connect the drawbar between the locomotive and tender.

See Figure 4.

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 10 for additional information.

Caution!

Note!

Figure 4. Drawbar connection

Running your train

Adding smoke ﬂuid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean white smoke

during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 8 on

page 13 for the location of the switch.

The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke ﬂuid in order to function.

A small bottle of smoke ﬂuid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap. Pierce the

tip on the nozzle. Add about four drops of ﬂuid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke pro-

duction commences momentarily. It will start faster if you run your locomotive at higher speeds.

When smoke production decreases, add more ﬂuid (about four drops). An idle locomotive will

not smoke.

Smoke production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy

load or a long consist.

Caution! When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount

of smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke generator; the generator’s element

can become damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true

if your locomotive sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke

fluid in the generator.

If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add

smoke fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.

Note!

Operating your trains with the PowerMax Plus Transformer

You’re clear for departure! Move the throttle control handle forward to increase power to

the track. The farther forward you push the handle, the faster your train will go.

Quickly shutting off or throwing the throttle all the way forward will not result in

an instant change in track voltage.

When operating in the conventional (non-Command) environment, remember that the great-

er the load on the engine (adding more cars for the engine to pull, for example), the farther

forward the handle must be pushed before it will operate the locomotive.

Note!

Running your train

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.
