Running your locomotive

Note!

Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track curves.

Powering your locomotive

Y our locomotive is designed to work with either AC or DC power.

AC Power: Use an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer for Legacy, Bluetooth, or Conventional control. Powering your locomotive in excess of 19 volts AC may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.

DC Power: Use a DC transformer for Bluetooth control only. You locomotive is not designed to operate with

Legacy or conventional control while using DC power. Powering your locomotive in excess of 19 volts DC may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.

LEGACY Control operations (AC power only)

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 and tender on the track and connect the drawbar as shown in Figure 1.

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 2, press ENG and 1 (or your selected ENG ID#) to address the locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote Controller.

5. Press the Start Up button on your LEGACY CAB-2

Remote, shown in Figure 3. 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.

Running your locomotive

Note!

Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track curves.

TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC) operations (AC power only)

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 and tender on the track and connect the drawbar as shown in Figure 1 on page 5.

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 (AC power only)

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!

Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track curves.

1. With track power off, place your locomotive and tender on the track. Connect the drawbar as shown in Figure 1 on page 5.

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 WHISTLE and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of this manual.

Locomotive basics

Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generators

Y our Legacy Steam Locomotive is equipped with two smoke generators that produce safe, clean, white smoke during operation. The smoke generators for this locomotive supply the stack and whistle smoke effects. The reservoirs contain the fluid and wicks which, once saturated, supply the heating elements with the right amount of fluid.

Note!

For best performance, we recommend using only Lionel Premium Smoke Fluid.

Stack and Whistle Smoke

Loading smoke fluid into the smoke stack will provide smoke fluid for the stack smoke effect and whistle smoke effect. When adding fluid DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS as this can cause your smoke unit 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. Add 20 drops initially and 10 to 20 thereafter, as required to maintain desired smoke.

Note!

Your locomotive's smoke fluid consumption will vary depending on the smoke level setting you have selected and the labor of the locomotive.

Refer to Figure 4 as you add the smoke fluid. If you prefer to operate your Legacy Steam

Locomotive without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch on the underside of the chassis and slide it to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 5 on page 9 for the location of the switch.

Figure 4. Smoke fluid location

Locomotive basics

Wheel Slip features

T o create the effect of a locomotive losing traction, your locomotive has a simulated slip feature which simultaneously produces smoke, sound, and motion. During wheel slip, the stack smokes as chuffing sounds rapidly increase, then decrease in speed and labor. This feature can be triggered when the locomotive motion starts.

Wheel slip can be triggered in two ways:

Trigger the wheel slip effect using the Boost key:

1.

On a CAB-1 remote press the H button, or on a CAB-2 remote press the M or H buttons.

2.

With the locomotive stopped, apply the boost key.

3.

Adjust the throttle to maintain motion, as releasing the boost key stops the locomotive.

OR

Trigger the wheel slip effect using the Train Brake & Throttle (CAB2 only):

1.

With the locomotive stopped or in motion, fully apply the train brake.

2.

Turn or confirm the throttle position so the target speed is greater than zero.

3.

Release the Train Brake slider by moving it upwards.

11

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

LEGACY Control System operations

Note!

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 locomotive 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.

14

LEGACY Control System operations

The Warning Sound Controller

Warning sounds are an important part of Lionel Railroading. Your

Strike the bell once by pushing the Warning Sound Controller up and releasing quickly. To activate continuous bell sounds, push the Warning

Sound Controller up and hold it for 1.5 seconds. To discontinue the bell sounds, push and hold the Warning Sound Controller up until the bell stops.

Note!

Your engine is equipped with 5 different horns or whistles and 5 different pitch levels for the bell! Press Aux1 and pull the Warning Sound Controller down to change the horn or whistle. Press Aux1 and then push the slider up to change the bell pitch.

Note!

When changing the whistle, there will be a slight delay between pulling down on the Warning Sound Controller and when you hear the whistle. This is normal.

The Speed Bar

The Speed Bar is used to select a new touchscreen Icon Control set. This set of touch-screen keys is used to select prototypical preset speeds.

The speed of the engine changes with each press and release of a different Preset Speed key.

• Tap a key, and your locomotive will immediately begin moving to that speed.

• If you hold the key until the dialog is finished, the engineer will indicate that he is

"increasing to...", "slowing to...", or "we are at..." the command speed.

You can also use the Velocity Throttle and other action controls in this mode and continue to use Preset speeds at the same time.

Press AUX1 to leave the Preset speed mode and return to the Standard Control Panel. Press the speed bar to toggle between the Speed Control

Panel and the Standard Control Panel.

15

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 8. Plus, you can still activate CrewTalk 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 as 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.

• If equipped, check the engine’s Bluetooth ON/OFF switch and switch it to the ON position.

• For more Voice Control options, say “help” for a list of basic commands.

Note!

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.

31

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.

32

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.

33

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

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 5 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.

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 and tender on the track, then power up the track.

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

5. Press SET.

6. Press and hold the RESET button (or 0) until you hear a single bell ding.

This may take up to 10 seconds.

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

At this point, your locomotive has been reset to factory defaults. Use TMCC ID #1 to control it, or reprogram the engine to the desired TMCC ID#.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Lubricating your locomotive and tender

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 Figures 18 and 19 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.
