A 9-volt battery is only necessary when the engine is to be used with a
conventional transformer in a non-command mode such as the QW, TW, KW, etc.
This will enable the locomotive to maintain uninterrupted sound when the voltage
drops below 8 volts. To install the battery, remove the four tender body screws with
nylon washers; one at each corner of the tender floor. Remove the four screws from
the bottom of the floor and the body shell will then remove easily. You will find a 9 Volt
battery connector end among the wires. Install the battery, place the installed battery
in the bracket provided in the tender, place the shell back on the floor, and reinstall the
screws, remember to reinstall the nylon washers!
When you first power up your track, the engine will wait 3 to 8 seconds as it
“listens” for the digital language from the TrainMaster® Command Base (sold
separately). When it's determined that it's on a conventional (non-command) railroad,
the headlight will illuminate solidly and RailSounds® will fire up. At this point the
engine is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the
first time. Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power interrupt).
The e-unit in your locomotive alternates between three states: forward,
neutral, and reverse. You may deactivate the operation of the e-unit by moving the
"Program/Run" switch to the "Program" position. This will put your locomotive in a
Forward lock out operating state. This will allow your engine to only run in one
direction regardless of power interruptions.
TrainMaster® Command Operations
Lionel® TrainMaster® Command is the advanced model railroad control
system from Lionel®. Your steam locomotive is equipped with the Lionel® Command
Receiver (R2LC), EOB® Speed Control and Railsounds 4.0®. TrainMaster®
Command gives you the power to operate multiple Command equipped locomotives
on the same track, at the same time. To operate in Command mode, you need a
Trainmaster® Command Base and a CAB-1 Remote Controller®. These can be
purchased from your train retailer as Lionel part number 6-12969.
Place your engine on the track. Make sure track power is OFF before placing
the engine on the track. Make sure your Lionel® Command Base is ON and its
communications wire is connected to the COMMON post on your transformer. Once
positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (approximately 18 VAC).
