Using your PA-1’s ElectroCouplers in the

non-Command environment

To use your PA-1 ElectroCouplers in the

non-Command environment, you must

first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped

with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to your

PA-1. The magnetic coupler on the rolling

stock will then react to the magnetic field

generated by a Lionel remote-control track

section (available separately). Place your

rolling stock’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 coupler opens.

stock coupled to your PB-1 unit

Your Alco PA-1 Electrocouplers will NOT

open manually or by using a remote-

control track section

Transformer operations

Running your Lionel Alco PA-1 with a Lionel transformer

Place your Alco PA-1 on Lionel or Lionel-compatible

O gauge track.

Power up your Alco PA-1 with your transformer.

• Your Alco PA-1 is designed to operate on 7-18 volts alternating cur-

rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers

are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad control sys-

tem.

• Do not power your Alco PA-1 with direct current (DC). Damage to sensi-

tive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the Alco PA-1 will wait between

3 and 8 seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster

Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a conven-

tional (nonCommand) railroad, the Alco PA-1’s headlight will illuminate. At this

point, the Alco PA-1 is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the Alco PA-1 on your

railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second

power interrupt.)

Note!

Move ‘em out!

• Get your Alco PA-1 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or

Lionel transformer. This sequences the Liontech Command reverse unit (DCDR) to

the next operating state.

• Adjust track voltage until your Alco PA-1 moves at your desired speed.

1• Your Alco PA-1 will operate on 031 radius track. We recommend 042

radius minimum.

Transformer operations

To select a single operational state for

your Lionel Alco PA-1 (example: forward

only), you can deactivate the DCDR’s

sequencing function with the reverse unit

control switch, located on the underside of

the locomotive.

Get your locomotive moving in the desired

direction, then slow it down without stop-

ping. Set the reverse unit control switch to

OFF. The Alco PA-1 is now “locked” into your

chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-direction

operation, just slide the reverse unit control

switch back to ON.

OFF Use this setting to

choose a single

operational state

like“forward.”

couplers and it will respond to the

COUPLER F (front) and COUPLER R

(rear) button on your CAB-1 remote

when operated in the Trainmaster

Command environment. Simply press

either button on your CAB-1 remote, and

that coupler opens.

YourPA-1’s Electrocouplers are not designed to be opened manually.

TrainMaster Command operations

Your Alco PA-1 in the TrainMaster Command environment

Lionel TrainMaster Command is the fun

and sophisticated model railroad control

system from Lionel. Your Alco PA-1 features

the Lionel DCDR reverse unit, which acts as

both a conventional reverse unit as well as

the key to unlocking many extra features

when you operate in Command mode.

TrainMaster Command gives you the

power to operate multiple Command-

equipped locomotives on the same track, at

the same time. It’s the most fun you can

have with electric trains, and it’s incredibly

easy too! Just follow the directions below and

you’ll be on your way.

To operate in Command, you need

a Command Base and a CAB-1

remote. Find them both at your authorized

Lionel retailer.

Place your Alco PA-1 on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible O gauge track.

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.

• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications wire is

connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U on any of

your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on PowerMaster,

slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).

Address your Alco PA-1 with CAB-1.

• Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This command

is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates your commands

into digital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in the

form of a digital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital

communication, but they do not respond until they hear their own ID number.

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—con-

trols the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like

gasoline in the tank of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it

doesn’t tell you where to go or how fast to get there.

• All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.”

To change your Alco PA-1’s ID#, see page 9.

Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your Alco PA-1 will

respond to your every command. Read on. The fun is just beginning!

trical output on your railroad.

Tuning your Alco PA-1’s performance

MOMENTUM

TrainMaster Command’s momentum fea-

ture simulates the labored performance of a

locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press L, M,

or H (located under CAB-1’s removable

panel) for light, medium, or heavy momen-

tum. The Alco PA-1’s DCDR remembers this

setting until you change it. For quick loco-

motive response, choose L. For delayed

response, choose H.

BRAKING AND BOOSTING

There’s more to starting and stopping than

just turning the CAB-1 throttle. Use the

BOOST and BRAKE command buttons—they

give you incremental control of speed and

are the superior way to handle grades, grad-

ual stops-and-starts, and more.

SOUND QUALITY

For quick remote-control of volume below

the master setting—for example, muting—

use the CAB-1 numeric keypad’s volume con-

trol. Press AUX1 and then 4 on the numeric

keypad to lower overall Signalsounds output.

HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING

Press SET, headlight will flash. Get your

locomotive moving to the maximum speed

you want it to run, press BOOST. Use this to

keep your locomotive from excess-speed

derailing. Turn off the high voltage setting

by pressing SET, then BOOST, holding each

for one second.

0Stops and resets the Alco PA-1. Resets the Alco

PA-1’s direction to FORWARD. Horn blows.

When you press AUX1 on CAB-1,

you turn the numeric keypad

into 10 command buttons. The key-

pad lets you control extra command

features (until you press any top-row

button like SW, ACC, RTE, TR, or ENG). The

CAB-1 keypad overlays included with

your Alco PA-1 are designed to help

you learn the auxiliary features spe-

cific to this locomotive.

Note!

Assigning your Alco PA-1 a new ID#

As your fleet of Command-equipped

Lionels grows, you’ll want to give your

Alco PA-1 a more individualized number.

Choose from any between 1 and 99. To make

things easy, use a portion of your Alco PA-1’s

cab number.

Turn the Command Base ON and place the

Alco PA-1 on track. Power up, then set the Alco

PA-1’s reverse unit control switch to OFF (see

the illustration). Using CAB-1, press ENG, the

locomotive ID# (you select), then press the

SET button located under CAB-1’s removable

panel. Hear the horn blow (or see the head-

light flash if Signalsounds is off); that’s the

DCDR confirming the new ID#. Set the reverse

unit control switch to ON. Your Alco PA-1 is

ready for operations with its all-new ID#.

Maintaining and servicing your

Alco PA-1

Replacing your Alco PA-1’s lamps

Your Alco PA-1 is illuminated by two 14-

volt lamps. During the course of normal

operation, they may require replacement.

Begin by removing the Alco PA-1’s shell;

start by removing only those screws at the

arrow locations in the illustration below. The

cab can now be separated from the frame, tak-

ing care not to pull on the connecting wires.

Locate the assembly containing the expired

lamp (.see illustrations below). It’s located in

front of the cab; gently pull the expired lamp

from the socket. Replace it with Lionel part

no. 10-8049-300, available from your autho-

rized Lionel Service Center or Lionel Service.

See the Lionel Service section on page 12 for

more information. Reinstall the shell.

The Lionel DCDR Command reverse

unit and Signalsounds sound sys-

tem are sophisticated electronic

devices and are extremely sensitive

to static electricity. Please avoid all

physical contact with Signalsounds

and the DCDR.

Tire-Traction™

Your locomotive is equipped with Tire-

Traction. This means that two of the drive

wheels on each truck are fitted with rubber

traction tires to enhance tractive effort so your

locomotive can pull many cars at once.

Lionel locomotives with Tire-Traction grip

the track, enabling them to pull heavy loads

at higher speeds.
