1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the
LEGACY Base and connect it to the track.
2. Carefully unwrap the locomotive and tender.
Plug in the harness from the locomotive into
the front end of the tender as shown in Figure
1.
This will improve operation by allowing electrical pickup
through the tender wheels.
The harness must be plugged into the connector
on the front end of the tender in order for the
locomotive to operate.
3. Connect the locomotive to the tender using the
included pin as shown in Figure 2.
4. 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.
Do not power with DC (direct current) or
damage may occur.
5. As illustrated in Figure 3, press ENG and 1
(or your selected ENG ID#) to address the
locomotive with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote
Controller.
Power your locomotive with either an AC or DC transformer. Powering your locomotive in
excess of 19 volts may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
Your locomotive requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-36 or larger track curves.

or the finest operating experience, your locomotive is fully
compatible with the LEGACY Control System. It will also
operate on the original Lionel TrainMaster System (TMCC1)
with limited features and also on the LEGACY Cab-1L / Base-
1L operating system (again, with reduced features.) Using a
Lionel LEGACY set (6-14295) will allow you to access ALL the
features this locomotive has to offer.
Your commands are sent by the CAB-2 Remote Controller
to the Command Base, which broadcasts a radio frequency
that is distributed through the outside rails of the track to your
locomotives. 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.
