Car and track not included.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lionel AMC/ARC Log Loader! This accessory
incorporates two of the most sophisticated TrainMaster Command Control components, the
Accessory Motor Controller and the Action Recorder Controller, which are pre-installed for
simple set-up.
In the Command Control environment, you control the chain drive, the stakes, and the
lamps using your CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868) and a Command
Base (available separately, 6-12911). You are able to record and play back an entire animated
sequence created with the Log Loader.

Placing the Log Loader on your layout
The Log Loader is designed for use with remote-control log dump cars (available separately).
Position a log dump car over the magnetic disk on a remote-control track section (available
separately, 6-65530 for O gauge, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge, and 6-12020 for FasTrack
layouts), and activate the track section to dump the logs into the log loader’s bin. As illustrated
in Figure 1, locate the Log Loader beside a remote-control track section. Another section of track
should be placed on the opposite side for loading your cars.
To operate the Remote-Control Track section with your CAB-1 Remote Controller, we
recommend that TMCC Operating Track Controller (available separately, 6-14185).

Note!
Connecting the power supply
Your Log Loader was designed to operate at 16-18 volts (AC). The power supply terminals are
located along the side of the controller. Refer to Figure 2. Please note that the ends of the
wires must be stripped back 1/8” to 1/4”.
Only an adult should perform this task. We recommend using a pair of wire
strippers.
1. Attach one wire to the Power/A terminal on the power supply and connect it to the terminal
labeled A on the underside of the controller.
To make the controller connections, loosen the terminal locks using a small phillips-
head screwdriver and insert the bare ends of the wires into the holes in the housing.
Tighten the terminal locks to secure the connection.
2. Attach another wire to the Common/Ground/U terminal on the power supply and connect it
to the terminal labeled U on the underside of the controller.

Operating the Log Loader with the controller
The Log Loader has three different functions that can be operated using a controller lever.
The controller levers are illustrated in Figure 3. The LED will illuminate each time you
operate a lever.
•Use the chain drive lever to activate the chain drive. Push the lever forward to
increase the speed. Pull the lever back to decrease the speed and turn off the drive.
•Use the stake lever to operate the stakes. Push the lever forward to lower the
stakes. Pull the lever back to return the stakes to the upright position.
•Use the light lever to turn the lights on and off and adjust the intensity.

Connecting the Log Loader for operation in the TrainMaster Command
Control environment
To operate the Log Loader using your CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately,
6-12868), you must connect the Crane to the Command Base (available separately, 6-12911).
The Command Base will transmit your CAB-1 Remote Control commands to this accessory.
If you have no other TMCC Controllers connected, you will need to wire the Log Loader to the
Command Base using a Command Base Cable (available separately, 6-14191 or 6-14195). If
you have other TMCC Controllers connected, you will need to “daisy chain” the Controllers, or
wire them one after another, using a Controller to Controller Cable (available separately,
6-14193, 6-14196, or 6-14197). Refer to Figure 4.
• If you are using the Command Base Cable, simple plug the cable into the COMPUTER port
on the Command Base. Connect the red wire to the DAT terminal on the Log Loader. Finally,
connect the green wire to the COM terminal on the Log Loader.
• If you have other TMCC Controllers already connected to your Command Base, simply
connect the DAT terminals with the red wire and the COM terminals with the green wire
from the Controller to Controller Cable.

Follow these steps to create a simple recording with the Log Loader. As you use your CAB-1
Remote Controller to operate the Log Loader, the accessory will memorize each command.
After you press AUX1, 9, you have 45 seconds to create a recording.
A CAB-1 Remote Controller and Command Base are required to make a recording.
Plan your recordings before you begin. Remember—the accessory will memorize
every command, including the unintentional ones. If you make a mistake, just start
over. You can always record over a program.
1. Remove the RUN/PROGRAM jumper from the bottom of the controller. Refer to Figure 5 on
page 7 for the location of the jumper.

You may choose to have the recording “loop,” or play repeatedly. Keep in mind that the loop
command is not a part of the actual recording; therefore, this function can be turned on or off at any
time. Follow these steps to create a loop after you have made the recording.
Do not remove the jumper.
1. Press ENG and enter the Log Loader’s ID number.
2. Press AUX1,8on the numeric keypad.
3. Press SET on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
