Running your locomotive
Conventional transformer operations
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.
Power your locomotive with an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer only.
Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19 volts
AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.
1. With track power off, place your locomotive on the track.
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.
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.
We recommend that you operate your LEGACY locomotive with Odyssey II
Speed Control turned on.
You may choose to operate your locomotive without speed control
by placing the Odyssey II Speed Control System switch to the NO ODY position. See Figure 4 on page
8 for the location of the switch.
Use the
HORN
and
BELL
buttons on your transformer to activate those features. Adjust the
volume using the volume control knob. Refer to Figure 5 on page 9 for the location of this control.
For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of this
manual.
