Move ‘em out!
Get your set moving.
Press the DIRECTION button on your CAB-1 Remote
Controller or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit in the
powered A-unit to the next operating state.
Adjust track voltage
until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. To
increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop the
locomotive, turn-off track power.
Place your set on Lionel or Lionel-compatible
O gauge track.

Power up your locomotives with your transformer.
Your locomotives are designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating
current.
Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current
transformers are suitable.
Do not power your locomotives with direct current
(DC). Damage to
sensitive electronic components may occur.
When you first power up your track, the powered locomotive will
wait between three and eight seconds
as it “listens” for digital language
from the TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it has
determined that it’s on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive’s
headlight will illuminate and RailSounds will fire up. At this point, the locomotive
is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the
first time. Thereafter, it will start in forward following every five-second power
interruption.)
