Running your locomotive

Note!

Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.

Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of

19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.

Note!

Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track curves.

LEGACY Control operations

F or the finest operating experience, your locomotive is fully compatible with the LEGACY Control

System. To operate in LEGACY mode, you need a LEGACY Command Base and LEGACY CAB-2

Remote Controller (6-14295).

Your commands are sent by the CAB-2 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which sends a digital code through the rails to your locomotive. Your locomotive will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#, so you can operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time.

1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the

LEGACY Base and connect it to the track.

2. Place your locomotive on the track.

3. Increase track power voltage to full power

(no more than 19 volts AC). If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.

4. As illustrated in Figure 1, press ENG and 1

(or your selected ENG ID#) to address the locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote

Controller.

Figure 1. LEGACY engine selection

5. Press the Start Up button on your LEGACY

CAB-2 Remote, shown in Figure 2. Then, throttle up and move 'em out! Your engine sound will start up, and the locomotive-specific touch screen buttons will populate the remote. For more information on operating your locomotive with the LEGACY system, please refer to the LEGACY section of this manual.

Additional information is also found in the LEGACY

System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com

Running your locomotive

Note!

Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.

Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of

19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.

Note!

Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track curves.

TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC) operations

F or operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you need a TrainMaster

Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Refer to your TMCC

System Manual for complete information. To access all the locomotive's features, you must operate in the LEGACY environment, as discussed on the previous page.

Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails to your locomotive, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster Command

Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time.

1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the track.

2. Place your locomotive on the track.

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

If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.

4. Press ENG and 1 (or the ENG ID# you set) to address your locomotive with your CAB-1 Remote Controller.

5. Throttle up and move ‘em out.

For more information, please refer to the TrainMaster Command Control operations section of this manual or the TMCC System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com

.

Running your locomotive

Conventional transformer operations

Note!

For Conventional operation, a Command Base must not be powered up anywhere in

the area, even if it is not connected to the track. If a base is detected, your locomotive will default to Command mode.

Note!

Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.

Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of

19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.

Note!

Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track curves.

1. With track power off, place your locomotive on the track.

2. Power up the track.

If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit.

3. Move ‘em out! When the locomotive’s headlight illuminates and the LEGACY RailSounds sound system starts, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your locomotive through the repeating pattern of operations: neutral, 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.

Note!

When placing your locomotive on your layout for the first time and after power interruptions lasting longer than five seconds, it will start out in neutral.

Use the HORN and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Adjust the volume using the volume control knob. Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 for the location of this control.

For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of this manual.

Locomotive basics

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

Y our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke during operation. Add 10-20 drops (shown in Figure 3) to prime the unit the first time you run the locomotive or after being stored for an extended period of time, and then add 10 to 20 drops to refill when smoke production decreases. When refilling, DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause your smoke units to become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note that operating your locomotive's smoke unit without smoke fluid will cause damage to the heating element.

If you prefer to operate your locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch and slide it to the NO SMK position. Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 for the location of the switch.

Note!

For best performance, we recommend using Lionel smoke fluid only. Do NOT use smoke fluid from ready-to-run train sets.

Add fluid here (no more than 10 to 15 drops)

Figure 3. Smoke fluid locations

Locomotive basics

Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only)

I n the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control your locomotive as one in a prototypical manner. It is still possible to control any of the engines in the lash-up individually. When you issue a train command, the individual engine you were controlling will return to the group. If there is a difference in speed, the individual Engine will return to the speed of the lash-up at the rate set in the train momentum.

To build a lash-up, assign a unique engine (ENG) ID# to each unit. See page 10 for details.

1. Address the train ID# you wish to create or edit, 1 to 99.

2. Press INFO.

3. Press BUILD softkey (button directly under

BUILD).

4. Enter the front engine number. It is not necessary to enter ENG, just enter the #. It will appear in the blinking box.

5. Press ADD to add the front engine. The engine will move to the right and the blinking box will be ready for your next engine to be added.

6. Enter the second engine ID# in the blinking box.

7. Press ADD to add the second engine. The engine will move to the right and the blinking box will be ready for your next engine to be added.

8. Add all the engines you want in your lash-up in this manner.

9. To change the direction of an engine in your lashup, turn the Velocity Throttle to move the engine you want into the blinking box. Then press DIR to change the direction of the engine.

10. To delete an engine in your lash-up, turn the red

Velocity Throttle knob to move the engine you want to delete into the blinking box. Then press

DEL.

This section is a brief overview of the LEGACY Control System. For a more in-depth

explanation of the LEGACY Control System features, please see your LEGACY Control

System Operations Manual, available online at www.lionel.com.

The Velocity Throttle

The Velocity Throttle (the red rotary knob on the bottom of your Lionel remote) is used to start your engine moving, slow it down, or speed it up. Use it simply by turning it clockwise (speed up) or counter-clockwise (slow down) .

The Multi-Controller

Direction

The direction of your engine toggles between forward and reverse at the touch of the Multi-Controller. Press the center of the Multi-Controller once, and your engine's lights will change directions and the engine will stop until you throttle up again in the new direction.

Boost & Brake

Boost and brake give you another way to control the speed of your train.

Boost gives your loco a temporary increase in tractive power, and returns to the previous speed when you release the control, while the brake command slows you down more quickly than the Velocity Throttle alone.

The Train Brake Slider

The Train Brake is used to slow down and limit the top speed of your train by adding a load. The more the Train

Brake is applied by pulling the Train Brake Slider down, the more laboring is heard from the engine. Eventually Train

Brake application will slow down the train and it is even possible to stop a train by pulling the Train Brake Slider all the way down. If your smoke unit is turned on, you'll also see more smoke as the slider is pulled down.

13

LEGACY Control System operations

LEGACY RailSounds sound system operations

LEGACY RailSounds Sequence Control

Y our LEGACY-equipped locomotive features Sequence Control. Based on the movement and speed of the locomotive, Sequence Control automatically plays the sound effects of an entire trip, from departure to destination, while you run your locomotive. Prototypical horn signals, bell, and radio chatter are added automatically as you spin your throttle—no need to memorize a sequence of button presses.

To activate the Sequence Control feature, press and hold the AUX1 button for three seconds.

You'll hear a unique bell/horn signal, indicating that Sequence Control is now enabled. Release the AUX1 key when you hear the sound.

Now, radio chatter, air brake release, and warning signals will play automatically as you move out, reach cruising speed, and then decelerate for arrival, as illustrated in Figure 6. Plus, you can still activate CrewTalk communication and TowerCom announcements using your remote.

To discontinue Sequence Control, you must tap AUX1 , and then tap the 0 key or the RESET button. Cycling track power off and back on also turns off Sequence Control mode.

Note!

During sequence control mode operation, speed step 1 is used to trigger departure effects such are air brake release and departure horn. Therefore your engine will not begin moving until speed step 2 and the Roll Mode button will bring your engine to a stop while Sequence Control mode is enabled. For the most realistic operation, medium or high momentum is recommended when using Sequence Control.

Troubleshooting

• If the locomotive does not appear in the app's “engine selection carousel,” try turning the

track power off, wait 5 seconds and turn it back on. If that still doesn't work, try restarting

the app on your device.

• If a universal remote is present and powered on, make sure one of its 3 channels is not

connecting to your locomotive before the app is able to connect.

• Make sure that your smart device's Bluetooth is turned on. This is done outside of the

LionChief app.

Note!

Your Legacy locomotive can receive commands from both a Bluetooth and Legacy device at the same time.

ENGINE SELECTION

1, 2, 3

Each Engine Selection button represents a channel for controlling one LionChief, LionChief

Plus, or Legacy Bluetooth locomotive. Each of these buttons may be “paired” with a different locomotive. Once paired, you can control multiple locomotives from one remote by pressing an Engine Selection button, then using the throttle, horn, bell, etc..

Note!

Your remote will remember all locomotive pairings when you turn everything back on for your next operating session.

THROTTLE

Turn the throttle clockwise slowly to increase speed in the forward direction. Returning the throttle to the top dead center position will bring the locomotive to a stop. Moving the throttle counterclockwise will increase the speed of the locomotive in reverse. The Throttle also functions as the volume control for LionChief Plus locomotives. Refer to “Adjusting the locomotive volume” section in this manual for more detailed information.

26

Using the LionChief Universal Remote

Adjusting the locomotive volume with the Universal Remote

T o adjust the overall volume of the locomotive’s sound system begin by placing the throttle in the top dead center position (so the red LED is solidly illuminated and the locomotive is stopped). Press and hold the Announcement button then turn the throttle to the left and / or right, this will increase and decrease the overall locomotive volume. Continue holding the Announcement button when turning the throttle, you can stay in this mode until the volume is at the level you desire. Once the volume level is set to the level you want release the Announcement button and return the locomotive throttle to the top dead center position again. (The new volume level will remain until you change it in the future, even after power has been cycled.) If, after running the locomotive, you decide to change the volume, simply follow the steps above to do so.

Note!

If the throttle is not in the top dead center position before or after the volume adjustment process undesired operation will occur. Always start and finish the volume adjustment process with the throttle in the top dead center position!

Pairing locomotives to the Universal Remote

Y our Universal Remote can connect or “pair” to one, two or three different locomotives at a time. Each “target” locomotive will be associated with one Engine Selection Button. Once you’ve paired with a locomotive, you can run it.

However, only “available” locomotives can be paired with the Universal Remote. “Available” means

“not currently controlled by any other remote.” An available locomotive will be powered up and beeping or chirping (older LionChief locomotives will play locomotive background sounds when available).

To Pair a Locomotive to Engine Selection button #1

1. Turn on power to your Universal Remote

2. Press and hold Engine Selection button #1 until it blinks rapidly. This will clear any previously stored pairing information so you can connect to the new target locomotive.

3. Release the button. It should flash slowly, indicating it is not connected to a locomotive.

4. Place the target locomotive on the track and apply track power.

5. Tap and release Engine Selection button #1. The remote will now seek and connect to the first available locomotive it finds.

6. Engine Selection button #1 should now be on (no flashing) and if the locomotive was beeping or chirping, it should now be playing engine background sounds.

7. Run the locomotive!

This locomotive pairing is now stored in your Universal Remote. The next time this engine and remote are powered on, the connection will be automatically re-established.

To Pair a Locomotive to Engine Selection buttons 2 or 3, simply follow the same steps with the other two Engine Selection Buttons.

Note!

Legacy locomotives cannot be operated by the Universal Remote if they are already under the control of the App or another Universal Remote.

27

Using the LionChief Universal Remote

Operating locomotives with the Universal Remote

N ow that you have paired locomotives with the Universal Remote its time to run trains!

Operation with the Universal Remote is very similar to using the basic remote included with your locomotive. Switch between the locomotives you want to control by pressing different Engine

Selection buttons.

Using the Throttle with multiple locomotives

Familiarize yourself with the Universal Remote by putting just one locomotive in motion at a time.

Once you are comfortable as to which button is paired to what locomotive, try putting multiple locomotives in motion using the Universal Remote.

As soon as you press a different Engine Selection button, you can command the newly selected engine to blow its whistle, ring the bell or trigger dialog. However, throttle control does not automatically switch!

To take throttle-control of the selected engine, you have two choices: You can make the locomotive match the remote’s current throttle position—or—you can change your remote’s throttle position to match the engine’s current speed and direction.

To immediately force the engine to match the throttle, just press that Engine Selection button a second time. The locomotive will immediately honor the current position of your throttle. This may result in an abrupt change in speed and/or direction.

Option two will avoid the possibility of an abrupt speed change. After pressing the Engine Selection button once, manually turn your throttle knob until it matches the locomotive’s current speed and direction. Once you’ve matched the knob position, the main red LED will begin flashing at a rate proportional to the engine’s speed. From this point on, further throttle rotation will change the engine’s speed and/or direction.

Here’s an example showing the “throttle matching” option in action.

Engine #1 (above) is a diesel with throttle set for forward direction, medium speed.

28

Using the LionChief Universal Remote

Operating locomotives with the Universal Remote continued

Engine 2 (above) is a steamer at stop. Press Engine Selection button #2 and turn the throttle counter-clockwise through the 12 o’clock (stop) position and continue to put this loco in reverse at slow speed. Meanwhile, notice that engine #1 is still moving forward as before.

Now, switch back to engine #1, the diesel. Note that even though the throttle is in the reverse/slow speed position, the diesel continues moving forward at medium speed.

Match!

To regain speed and direction control over diesel locomotive #1, you must match the throttle position to the engine’s current speed and direction. Turn the throttle clockwise. Once you’ve matched the throttle position, additional throttle adjustments will again cause speed and direction changes of the currently selected engine.

Conventional transformer operations

Using the LEGACY RailSounds sound system in the conventional environment

W hen you first power up your locomotive, you will hear the sounds of the locomotive at rest. As the locomotive moves, the RPM sounds automatically increase with the locomotive’s speed. In the conventional environment, the horn and bell sounds are activated by your transformer controls, if so equipped.

To adjust the volume, use the volume control knob. Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 for the location of the volume control knob.

For proper operation of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system during track power interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence.

In the conventional environment, you will experience several features of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system.

• Diesel motor RPM levels. The level of diesel motor RPM level automatically varies with the speed of the locomotive.

• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your transformer to begin the effect, then press BELL a second time to discontinue the effect.

• CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements. These brief conversations between the train crew and the tower are triggered by short horn blasts.

• Reverse unit reset sound.

Power down your track, wait three seconds, and listen for the air-release sound, which is the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command reverse unit has reset to forward.

• Shutdown sequence. When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power up again after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will hear the realistic shutdown sequence.

33

Conventional transformer operations

Activating the CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements

I n the conventional environment, CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered by short horn blasts and vary with the state of the locomotive.

• If the locomotive has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a

“please standby” dialog.

• If the locomotive has been stopped for longer than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a

“cleared outbound” dialog.

• If the locomotive has started moving within the last seven seconds, a short horn blast will trigger a "train is underway" dialog.

• If the locomotive has been moving for more than seven seconds, a short horn blast will trigger a "are we clear?" dialog.

Locking your locomotive into a single direction

W hen the program-run 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.

1. Use your transformer’s DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get your locomotive moving slowly in the desired direction or into neutral.

2. Slide the program-run switch on the powered unit to the PGM position.

At this point, the locomotive is “locked” into your chosen direction. See

Figure 4 on page 9 for the location of this switch.

To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the program-run switch back to

the RUN position.

34

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Reprogramming your locomotive to restore features

I f your locomotive is unresponsive to your commands in the Command Control environment, we recommend that you follow this procedure to reset your locomotive. All factory default settings will be restored when you reprogram the locomotive.

1. Slide the program-run switch to the PGM position.

2. Plug in and connect your LEGACY Base.

3. Place your locomotive on the track, then power up the track.

4. Press ENG and enter the locomotive’s ID#.

5. Press SET.

6. Turn off track power and wait ten seconds.

7. Slide the program-run switch back to the RUN position.

At this point, your locomotive has been reset. Restore power to the track and operate the locomotive as usual. Be sure to use the ID# entered in Step 4.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Lubricating your locomotive

H elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it properly. To keep your locomotive lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel

Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer.

When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 15 appear dry, lubricate your locomotive after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules to keep in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive: use only a small amount of lubrication and avoid getting grease or oil on your locomotive’s wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track.

Servicing your locomotive’s LEDs

If the locomotive is powered up and the lights are not on, check that the AUX2 Note!

command was not used to turn the lamps off.

Y our locomotive is illuminated by several LEDs that are expected to last for the life of the locomotive. The LED’s are not user serviceable. If service is required, we recommend that you have your locomotive serviced at a Lionel Factory Trained Authorized Service Station or

Lionel Service.

Replacing the traction tires

Y our locomotive is equipped with traction tires to increase the tractive effort of your locomotive and allow it to pull more cars at once.

During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. To replace the traction tires, remove the side frame screws from the underside of the trucks and lift away the side frame. Remove the worn tire, then slip the replacement around the wheel.

Reposition the side frame on the truck and secure it with the two screws.

Ditch light operation

Y our locomotive is equipped with functional ditch lights on the front of the locomotive.

There are four operational states for the ditch lights: ditch lights on with oscillation when the horn sounds, ditch lights on with no oscillation when the horn sounds, ditch lights off with oscillaiton when the horn sounds, and ditch lights off with no oscillation when the horn sounds.

In the LEGACY environment, you may use the Light On and Light Off buttons to change the operational state of the ditch lights. These buttons are identified in Figures 16 and 17 below.

For Conventional transformer operation, the ditch lights function automatically, oscillating when the horn sounds.

Maintaining and servicing your train set

Ground Light Control

Y our SD-70ACe locomotive is equipped with functional Ground

Lights. There is one Ground Light located on each side of the frame, near the center of the front truck. Prototypically, it is

FRONT difficult to determine when a diesel locomotive is moving at very slow speeds in extreme low light, or darkness. When operating

Ground Light the locomotive under these conditions, the Ground Lights provide the engineer and fireman with a visual reference to the ground and allow them to more accurately judge the motion of the locomotive.

In the LEGACY environment, the Ground Lights are ON when the locomotive is stopped and they remain ON when the locomotive is in motion through speed step 24. At speed step 25 and above, the Ground Lights are OFF. When the locomotive slows to speed step 24, the Ground

Lights will turn ON.

In the TMCC environment, the Ground Lights function automatically and are not user controlled. With the Momentum set to “L”, the Ground Lights are ON when the locomotive is stopped and they remain ON when the locomotive is in motion through speed step 4. At speed step 5 and above, the Ground Lights are OFF. When the locomotive slows to speed step 4, the

Ground Lights will turn ON. With the Momentum set to “M” or “H”, the Ground Lights are

ON when the locomotive is stopped and they remain ON when the locomotive is in motion through speed step 12. At speed step 13 and above, the Ground Lights are OFF. When the locomotive slows to speed step 12, the Ground Lights will turn ON.

In the CONVENTIONAL environment, the Ground Lights function automatically and are not user controlled. The Ground Lights are ON when the locomotive is stopped and they remain ON as the locomotive starts to move. As the locomotive gains speed, the Ground Lights will turn OFF. As the speed of the locomotive slows, the Ground Lights will turn ON.

Note!

For optimal effect of the functional Ground Lights, operate your SD-70ACe locomotive in low light conditions.

38

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Prototypical Idle Mode Features

P rototypical to energy-saving procedures on the actual engine, your diesel locomotive is equipped with Idle Mode features. When your engine is left idling for a period, it will automatically “stepdown” its operations and enter a realistic and prototypical sequence of idle modes

• If the locomotive rests at idle for 30 seconds, it will enter a step-down mode in which operation on some of the diesel cylinders are shut down. You will hear this change through your RailSounds sound system.

Lighting is not affected.

• If the engine remains in idle another 30 seconds, the sounds of the diesel engine will shut off. You will continue to hear the occasional release of air from the cylinders, and every 15 seconds a warning bell will sound off. Cab lights turn off, all other lights are unaffected.

• At maximum energy saving mode, your diesel locomotive will randomly start up the diesel to charge the air tanks. After the brief startup, the locomotive cycles back through the steps above. Lights and sounds are reactivated.

• If any command other than a speed-related command is entered, a long warning bell will sound off, and the engine will proceed to full startup.

Locomotive diagnostics

Y our locomotive includes built-in diagnostics to monitor the condition of the main drive motor and smoke system. If a problem is detected, the locomotive's cab light will blink a diagnostic code.

If you see the light inside the cab flashing, press RESET (for LEGACY operation), 0 (for

TMCC operation), or DIRECTION /power interruption (for conventional operation to attempt to clear the problem. The locomotive will immediately check itself again. If the problem persists, the cab light will blink the code again.

Note that smoke-related errors can be reset a maximum of three times. On the third try, if the problem still persists, the smoke unit will be shut down and must be returned to Lionel

Service for repair.

Note!

Turning the smoke unit switch to the off position will disable diagnostic checks of the smoke system.

Number of Blinks Diagnostic Code Description

1 Main drive motor stalled.

2 Smoke 1 element problem.
