Locomotive operation

Running your locomotive

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

Refer to page 6 for information on coupling the cars.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating

current. 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.

Connect the drawbar between the locomotive and tender.

See Figure 1.

If the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, add smoke fluid to your

locomotive’s stack to prevent damage to the smoke unit. Refer to

page 7 for additional information.

Caution!

Note!

Locomotive operation

Reverse unit procedure

The electronic reverse unit inside your Lionel locomotive acts like the transmission in a car.

When you apply power to the track, the locomotive moves in the direction specified by the

reverse unit—or it sits in neutral, awaiting another power interruption. Power interruptions

are the signal that tells the reverse unit to sequence to the next operational state.

To interrupt power and sequence the locomotive’s reverse unit, press the direction control

button or briefly bring the throttle lever all the way back to the OFF position. The reverse unit

alternates between three states: forward, neutral, and reverse.

Also, the locomotive can be “locked” into a certain mode of operation by throwing the

reverse unit switch located on the underside of the frame (see Figure 2). When the switch

is thrown to the OFF position (towards the rear of the locomotive), the locomotive will be

locked in the next mode of operation in the sequence. To lock your locomotive into a specific

operational state, sequence the locomotive into the desired state and reduce track power

without completely powering down the locomotive, then throw the switch to the OFF position.

The DIRECTION button will then have no effect on the direction of the locomotive. Return the

switch to the ON position to resume forward-neutral-reverse operation.

Additionally, this reverse unit has a “power-up reset” feature. If the locomotive sits without

power for a short period of time, the reverse unit will automatically reset and start in the forward

direction when the transformer is turned on or “powered up,” regardless of the reverse unit

switch position. If the switch is in the OFF position, the locomotive will start in the forward

direction and be “locked” there.

SUPPLY

The no. 610-5906-001 button works with any Lionel AC transformer except

no. 6-4690 Type MW.

Note!

Press the HORN/WHISTLE button on your controller to sound the locomotive's whistle. If your

controller does not have a HORN/WHISTLE button, install a Lionel Sound Activation Button

(available separately, part no. 610-5906-001). Connect the button as shown in Figure 3.

All track power must feed through the Sound Activation Button. Do not bypass the

button.

Locomotive operation

our Lionel locomotive’s tender is equipped with an operating magnetic knuckle coupler, a

revolutionary design first introduced by Lionel in 1945.

Lionel magnetic couplers react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel Remote-Control

Track section (available separately, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; 6-65530 for O gauge; or

6-12020 for FasTrack layouts).

As illustrated in Figure 4, place your tender’s coupler trigger disc over the central coil of a

Remote-Control Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the controller. The magnetic field pulls the

disc downward, and the knuckle opens.

One operating technique favored by Lionel railroaders is the “moving uncouple.” Press the

UNCOUPLE button as the locomotive passes over a Remote-Control Track section. The magnetic

field will open the coupler; the consist remains behind as the locomotive moves on. But be

careful—the speed of a newly uncoupled and moving locomotive can increase dramatically.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Adding smoke fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

our locomotive is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke

during operation if the smoke unit switch is in the ON position. Refer to Figure 2 on page

4 for the location of the switch.

The smoke generator requires the periodic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to

function. Add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s stack. Smoke production

commences momentarily, faster if you run your locomotive at higher speeds. When smoke

production decreases, add more fluid (about four drops). An idle locomotive will not smoke.

Smoke production is greater at higher voltages and when the locomotive is pulling a heavy

load or a long consist.

Caution! When the smoke unit switch is in the ON position, always keep a small amount

of smoke fluid in the locomotive’s smoke generator; the generator’s element

can become damaged if operated without smoke fluid. This is particularly true

if your locomotive sits in neutral for an extended period of time without smoke

fluid in the generator.

If you prefer to operate the locomotive without smoke or you do not want to add

smoke fluid, slide the smoke unit switch to the OFF position.

Note!

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Replacing your locomotive’s traction tire

One of the locomotive’s drive wheels is fitted with a rubber traction tire to enhance tractive

effort, allowing your locomotive to pull many cars at once.

To replace the traction tire, simply unscrew the drive rod nut from the wheel using a 3/16”

nut driver. Refer to Figure 5. Remove the old traction tire from under the drive rod and slip

on the replacement, Lionel part no. 600-0242-206. Replace the spacer, retighten the drive rod

nut, and you’re ready to pull that long freight back to the yard.

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Figure 6. Lubrication points

Lubricating your locomotive

elp your steam locomotive lead a long and productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly.

We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927),

available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate (a

small amount will do) and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive’s wheels, contact

rollers, or your track.

You’ll know your locomotive requires lubrication when visual inspection reveals dryness on

the parts indicated in Figure 6. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and

always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.

our locomotive is equipped with an LED style headlight for longer life. Please contact your

nearest Lionel Service Center or Lionel Service if this needs replacing.
