Running your locomotive
Powering your locomotive in excess of 19 volts, may result in damage to sensitive elec-
tronic components.
Your locomotive requires curves that have a 36” or larger diameter, measured from cen-
ter point between rails to center point between rails.
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.
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

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.
