Running your locomotive set with the LionChief remote

Slide the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch to the REMOTE position.

 

Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of this switch.

With track power turned off, place your locomotive on the track

Power up the track to 18 volts (AC or DC) and move the remote 
power switch to ON.

 When the locomotive is powered up, it will beep until it 

syncs with the remote. When the locomotive is synced up with the remote, the 
locomotive start-up sounds will begin to play. 

When in remote mode and powered up on the track, the loco-
motive will continue to beep until it is synced up with its 
remote. If the locomotive beeps during operation, be sure that 
fresh batteries are installed properly in the remote and the 
TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch is in the REMOTE position.

Move ‘em out!

 Use your remote to run your train. You can adjust the speed in 

forward or reverse, blow the whistle, sound the bell, or trigger an announce-
ment. Refer to page 7 for complete details.

Turn off the power supply when you are done running your trains. 
Switch off your remote control to conserve the batteries.
