Coupling

W

hen coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left
in Figure 5. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward

each other until they lock together.

Keep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating cur-
rent.

Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers

are suitable.

Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers. 
The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC) 
transformers only.

Move ‘em out!

Get your locomotive moving.

Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern

of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse
unit, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle
all the way back to the OFF position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION
button or interruption in track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next
operational state. 

Adjust track voltage

until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
