Conventional transformer operations
Operating your locomotive in the conventional environment
Y
our locomotive is capable of operating in the conventional environment with nothing more
than a standard Lionel alternating-current (AC) transformer.
In the conventional environment, your locomotive cycles through a repeating pattern of
operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To advance to the next operation, press the
DIRECTION
button on your transformer. Alternately, you could use the throttle to briefly turn off
track power so that the locomotive advances to the next operation when power is restored.
Once you cycle the locomotive into forward or reverse, you control your locomotive’s speed by
varying track voltage with the transformer’s throttle. To increase the speed of the locomotive, you
increase track voltage. To decrease the speed, you decrease track voltage. To stop the locomotive and
to change directions (or to enter neutral), track voltage is turned off or interrupted.
Use the
HORN
and
BELL
buttons on your transformer to activate these features. If your
transformer is not equipped with these controls, separate buttons are available (610-5906-001).
