Conventional transformer operationsConventional operations
Your locomotives are capable of operating in the conventional environment with nothingmore than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.
In the conventional environment, your powered A-unit locomotive cycles through arepeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to thenext operation, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer. Alternately, you could usethe throttle to briefly turn off track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operationwhen power is restored.
Once you cycle the powered A-unit locomotive into forward or reverse, you control yourlocomotive set’s speed by varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase thespeed of the locomotive, you increase track voltage. To decrease the speed, you decrease trackvoltage. To stop the locomotive and to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage isturned off or interrupted.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer (or separate buttons if yourtransformer is not equipped with these controls, see page 12) to activate these features. Only the non-powered B-unit is equipped with sounds.
To experience all of your locomotives’ features, we recommend operating in the TrainMasterCommand Control environment. With a simple one-wire connection, you can use the CAB-1Remote Controller to access all of the functions of your locomotive set. Refer to pages 14 to 22 to see how to operate your locomotive set in the TrainMaster Command Controlenvironment.

Conventional transformer operationsOperating your train set in the conventional environment
1. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track.
2. Power your train set at 8-18 volts with your alternating current (AC)transformer.
Power your locomotives with an alternating-current (AC) transformer only.Powering your locomotives with a direct-current (DC) transformer may result indamage to sensitive electronic components.
3. Wait three to eight seconds as your locomotives determine whether theyare in a conventional environment or a TrainMaster Command Controlenvironment. When the locomotives have determined that a TrainMaster Command Base is not connectedto the track, the headlight will illuminate and the RailSounds sound system will start. Youare ready for operation in the conventional environment.
4. Move ‘em out!Press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your powered A-unitlocomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral,and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotives to the nextoperating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotives move at your desired speed.
When placing your powered A-unit locomotive on your layout for the first time, it willstart out in neutral. Thereafter, it will start in forward after every power interruptionlasting five seconds or longer.
Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features on thenon-powered B-unit locomotive. Refer to page 12 if your transformer is not equipped with thosebuttons.

Note!
Caution!
Conventional transformer operationsLocking your powered A-unit locomotive into a single direction
When the Command reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your powered A-unitlocomotive sequences through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse,
neutral, and so on. To “lock” your powered A-unit locomotive into a single direction (for example, to operate in
forward only), you can deactivate the Command reverse unit’s sequencing function. Refer toFigure 1 for the location of the Command reverse unit switch.
1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get yourpowered A-unit locomotive moving in the desired direction or into neutral.
2. Slow the locomotive down without stopping (reduce the throttle without turning off trackpower).
3. Slide the Command reverse unit switch on the powered A-unit locomotive to the PROGposition. At this point, the locomotive is “locked” into your chosen direction.
To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the Command reverse unit switchback to the RUN position.
Your locomotive will “reset” to forward after any power interruption lasting fiveseconds or longer, regardless of the direction you set.

Conventional transformer operationsCoupling your locomotive in the conventional environment
Each locomotive unit is equipped with one ElectroCoupler that is released by remote controlat any point around your layout in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The
ElectroCouplers are located on the nose of the A-unit and the rear of the B-unit.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, youmust rely on a piece of rolling stock equipped with a magnetic coupler. Simply release themagnetic coupler and couple the rolling stock to the locomotive, even if the ElectroCoupler isclosed.
Keep in mind that you may still make use of Lionel Remote-Control Track sections (6-65530for O gauge; 6-12746 and 6-65149 for O-27 gauge; and 6-12020 for FasTrack layouts) with themagnetic couplers on the rolling stock. Place the trigger disc on the magnetic coupler over thecentral coil on the Remote-Control Track section, then press UNCOUPLE on the track section’scontroller. As illustrated in Figure 2, the magnetic field pulls the disc downward, releasing thecoupler.

RailSounds sound system operationsRailSounds sound system operations
The non-powered F3 B-unit is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds sound system, the mostrealistic model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds sound system brings the
sounds of the railroad to your layout through high quality digital samples of real locomotives. When you operate your locomotives in the conventional environment, you get the realistic
sounds of the diesel engines, which automatically rev up as the speed of the locomotivesincreases. You can sound the locomotives’ horn or activate the ringing of the mechanical bell.When you are through with operations and power down the track, your locomotives’ RailSoundssound system starts a realistic diesel shutdown sequence (a nine-volt alkaline battery is requiredfor the shutdown sequence).
When you operate your locomotives in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, youget full control of the RailSounds sound system. You still get the horn and bell sounds. Thelocomotives’ RPM sounds automatically rev up, but you can also set a particular RPM soundusing your CAB-1 Remote Controller. Use the BRAKE button, and listen for the sound ofsquealing metal. You can also trigger CrewTalk communication and TowerComannouncements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive crew and theyardmaster. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotives, the realistic shutdownsequence commences (a nine-volt alkaline battery is required for the shutdown sequence).
RailSounds sound system operationsInstalling the battery
While the RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, we recommend that youinstall a nine-volt alkaline battery in each locomotive to prevent the sound system from
shutting down during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or a dirty section oftrack). Follow these steps and refer to Figure 3 as you install the battery.
If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, youmay need to replace the battery.
1. Remove the screw on each end of the non-powered F3 B-unit body and lift the body off theframe.
2. Slide the battery into the battery clip.
3. Replace the body, securing it with the body screws.

RailSounds sound system operationsUsing the RailSounds sound system in the conventional environment
When you first begin to operate your locomotives, you will hear the sounds of thelocomotives at rest. The non-powered B-unit produces the sounds. As the locomotives
move, the RPM sounds automatically increase with the locomotives’ speed. In the conventionalenvironment, the horn and bell sounds are activated by your transformer controls.
To silence the diesel roar, slide the RailSounds sound system switch located on the undersideeach locomotive (refer to Figure 4 on page 23) to the NO SND position before you power up thelocomotives or after the locomotives have been powered down for a minimum of ten seconds.The horn and bell sounds will still be active. To adjust the volume, use the volume control knoblocated beneath the removable roof top radiator fan on each unit.
For proper operation of the RailSounds sound system during track powerinterruptions and for the locomotive set shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-volt alkaline battery in the powered A-unit locomotive. See page 10.
In the conventional environment, you will experience several features of the RailSoundssound system.
• Four levels of diesel roar. Your locomotives' speed automatically determines the levelof diesel RPM roar.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds sound systemexclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your transformer to begin the effect, then press BELL asecond time to discontinue the effect.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait three seconds, and listen forthe air-release sound—that’s the locomotive set telling you that its Lionel Command reverseunits have reset to forward.
• Shutdown sequence. When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power upagain after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will hearthe realistic diesel shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a battery is required forthis sequence to function.

Note!
RailSounds sound system operationsInstalling a Lionel Sound Activation Button for conventional operation
If your transformer lacks HORN and BELL buttons, you will need to install Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Buttons (available separately) to activate the locomotive’s
horn and bell sounds.Connect the buttons as shown below. Be sure that all track power passes through the Sound
Activation Button(s). Do not bypass the buttons.

RailSounds sound system operationsUsing the RailSounds sound system in the TrainMaster CommandControl environment
To access all of the features of the RailSounds sound system, you must operate yourlocomotives in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The CAB-1 Remote
Controller is required to activate features such as TowerCom announcements, CrewTalkcommunication, and coupler release sounds. Refer to pages 14 through 20 to learn how theRailSounds sound system is integrated into TrainMaster Command Control operations.
For proper operation of the RailSounds sound system during track powerinterruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-voltalkaline battery. See page 10.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience all of the features ofthe RailSounds sound system.
• Four levels of diesel roar. Your locomotives’ speed automatically determines the levelof diesel RPM roar. You may also set the RPM sounds to a particular level using your CAB-1Remote Controller.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds sound systemexclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to begin the effect, thenpress BELL a second time to discontinue the effect.
• Squealing brakes. Press the BRAKE button and listen for the squealing of thelocomotive’s brakes.
• Coupler release sounds. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to release anElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
• TowerCom announcements. These messages simulate the communication from theyardmaster. You get “clear for departure” and “hold for clearance” messages.
• CrewTalk communication. Listen for the crackling, unintelligible radiocommunication inside your locomotives.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait three seconds, and listen forthe air-release sound-that’s the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command reverse unithas reset to forward.
• Shutdown sequence. When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power upagain after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will hearthe realistic diesel shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a battery is required forthis sequence to function.

TrainMaster Command Control operationsTrainMaster Command Control operations
TrainMaster Command Control is the advanced model railroad control system from Lionel. Tooperate your locomotives in the Command Control environment, you need a Command Base
(available separately, 6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868).These products are available together in the TrainMaster Command Set (6-12969).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which thentranslates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails to yourlocomotive, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster CommandControl gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the sametrack at the same time.
Keep in mind that track power is like gasoline in the tank of a car—it gives you the powerto go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how fast to get there.
14
TrainMaster Command Control operationsOperating your locomotive set in the Command Control environment
1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base. Be sure that theCommand Base is connected to the outside rail or to the Common/Ground/U terminal onyour track power supply.
2. Place your train set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). OnPowerMasters, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD. Program Track Power Controllers toCommand Control operation.
4. To operate your locomotives as a lash-up, press TR and 9 on your CAB-1 RemoteController. Because both units are factory programmed with the same ENG ID#, you mayoperate the units together by pressing ENG and 1.
To change the lash-up or individual ID#’s, refer to pages 20 and 21.
If you operate your locomotive as a lash-up, the back-up light on the B-unit does notoperate.

Operating and servicing your train setLubricating your locomotive set
Help your Lionel locomotive set lead a long and productive life on your railroad bymaintaining it properly. To keep your locomotive set lubricated, we recommend that you
purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorizedLionel dealer.
When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 4 appear dry, lubricate yourlocomotive set after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules tokeep in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive set: use only a small amount of lubricationand avoid getting grease or oil on your locomotive set’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.
