motive—the Dash-9 diesel locomotive

built by Lionel. From the crisp detail and

expert decoration on the outside to the brute

power under the hood, the Lionel Dash-9 is

ready for duty on your model railroad.

Experience the superiority of today’s Lionel.

Congratulations!

3Move ‘em out!

• Get your Dash-9 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or

Lionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel R2LC reverse unit to the next oper-

ating state.

• Adjust track voltage until your Dash-9 moves at your desired speed. To

increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stop

the locomotive, cut track power.

• See page 4 for information on locking your Dash-9 in a single

operating state

Place your Dash-9 locomotives on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible O gauge track.

2Power up your Dash-9 with your transformer.

• Your Dash-9 is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating current.

Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are

suitable.

• Do not power your Dash-9 with direct current (DC). Damage to sensi-

tive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, your Dash-9’s headlights will illu-

minate. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. This occurs when placing the

Dash-9 on your railroad for the first time. When your train is first powered up,

the default state will be neutral and the default direction is forward. This means

whenever you power up your engine the engine will remain in neutral, and

when the power is removed and again applied, the train will move forward. This

condition holds true if the engine is being powered up for the first time or if the

engine has been powered down longer than five seconds.

Note!

Transformer operations

Using your Dash-9 Electrocoupler in the

non-Command environment

To use your Dash-9 Electrocoupler in the

non-Command environment, you must

first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped

with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to

your Dash-9’s electrocouplers. The magnetic

coupler on the rolling stock will then react

to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel

remote-control track section (available sep-

arately). 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 cou-

pler opens.

Your Dash-9 electrocouplers

will NOT open manually or by

using a remote-control track

section

Transformer operations

To select a single operational state for

your Lionel Dash-9 (example: forward

only), you can deactivate the R2LC’s

sequencing function with the reverse unit

control switch.

Get your locomotive moving in the

desired direction, then slow it

down without stopping. Set the reverse unit

control switch to PROGRAM. The Dash-9 is

now “locked” into your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-direction

operation, just slide the reverse unit control

switch back to RUN.

Lubricating your Dash-9

Help your Lionel Dash-9 lead a long and

productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly.

We recommend you purchase a Lionel

Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (no. 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 Dash-9’s

wheels or your track. You’ll know

your Dash-9 requires lubrication when visu-

al inspection reveals dryness on the parts

indicated in the illustration. Remove accu-

mulated dirt and dust before lubricating,

and always lubricate any locomotive emerg-

ing from prolonged storage.

Adding fluid to your Locomotive’s smoke generator

Your Locomotive is equipped with a

smoke generator that produces safe,

clean white smoke during operation.

The smoke generator requires the periodic

addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order to func-

tion. Pierce the tube end with a pin, then add

35-40 drops of fluid into the Locomotive’s

stack. See diagram for location of smoke gen-

erator duct. Smoke production will commence

momentarily, faster if you run your Locomotive

at speed. When smoke production wanes, add

more fluid (four to eight drops).

If you prefer to have a smoke free loco-

motive, there is a switch located on the bot-

tom of the engine under the cab marked

SMK/NO SMK (see page 5 for location).

Move the switch to NO SMK and your loco-

motive will stop smoking.

When the smoke unit is on Always keep a

small amount of smoke fluid in the

Locomotive’s smoke generator; the genera-

tor’s element can become damaged if operat-

ed without fluid. Smoke production is greater

at higher voltages and when the Locomotive

is pulling a heavy load or long consist.

Make sure the headlight was not turned off by pressing AUX2 before replacing bulb.

Replacing your Dash-9’s lamps

Your Dash-9 is illuminated by several 18-

volt lamps. During the course of normal

operation, they may require replacement.

Begin by removing the Dash-9’s shell;

see page 6 for screw location. After removing

the six screws, carefully lift the shell away

from the frame.

Locate the wire harness containing the

expired lamp. Carefully remove the lamps

from the clear plastic lens. Next route the

wires through the retaining clips and

unplug the connector from spring housing

(Note the manner in which the wires are

routed, this makes reinstallation easier.)

Refer to the diagram on the next page for

the part number of the wire harness to be

replaced. The wire harnesses are available

from your authorized Lionel Service Center

or Lionel Service. See Lionel Service section

on page 16 for more information. Reinstall

the shell.

Add fluid here

Note!

Replacing your Dash-9’s lamps

To replace your Dash-9’s interior lights, cut

the two leads of the expired lamp and

remove it from the lamp holder in the motor

shroud. Route the two leads from the new

lamp up and through the lamp holder,

reversing the path taken to remove the

expired lamps. Cut approximately 1/4˝ of

insulation off of each lead, twist the two

leads together. Wrap this connection with

insulated tape to ensure a secure connec-

tion. Before you reinstall the cab, put your

Dash-9 on the track and power it up to verify

that the connection you made is a good one.

When you have verified that your mission

was a success. Reinstall the cab and get back

on the track!

Your Dash-9’s Railsounds system—the basics

Lionel Railsounds is the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the

world. Your Dash-9 Railsounds upgrade fea-

tures digital samples for the ultimate in

realism.

When you first apply track power, the

Dash-9’s Railsounds system delivers an

authentic start-up sequence, followed by the

sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the

Dash-9’s speed increases, the RPMs move

through four levels of roar. Sounds return to

idle only after the locomotive has come to a

complete halt.

To silence the diesel roar (horn and bell

remain unaffected), slide the Railsounds

switch on the underside of the locomotive to

NO SND (see page 5), before powering up

the locomotive.

Installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-

tery in your Dash-9.

Note!

Please remove protective cover from battery clip

Although Railsounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for

uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries.

Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the Railsounds

ON/OFF switch position.

If Railsounds “drops out” during track power interrupts (direction change),

replace the battery.

With Railsounds, you experience the

sounds of real railroading like never

before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticat-

ed, authentic model railroad sound system

in the world.

• Four diesel-roar levels. Your Dash-

9’s speed determines the level of diesel

RPM roar—automatically, if you pre-

fer: idle, half throttle, three quarters or

full-speed output.

• MultiHorn™. A different horn sound

at different speeds—a Railsounds

exclusive.

•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your

CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect,

again to discontinue.

• Reverse unit reset sound. Power

down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,

and listen for the air-release sound—

that’s the Dash-9 telling you its Lionel

Command reverse unit has just reset to

forward operation.

• Shutdown sequence. No other model

railroad sound system shuts down like

Railsounds. Turn off track power, and

after the air-release reset sound, you

have two seconds to restart your Dash-9.

If you’re done with operations,

Railsounds will commence with a realis-

tic diesel shutdown sequence about two

seconds after the air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your Dash-9’s Railsounds system

Notes on Railsounds

• Turn the volume knob clockwise or

counter clockwise in the location shown

on page 6 to adjust sound output.

• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds

during Railsounds operation. They’re

automatic and, of course, authentic.

• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed

ensures continuous Dash-9 diesel roar.

• Longer track-power interruptions

(including locomotive derailments)

cause Railsounds to shut down after

about 7 seconds.

• For even more authentic Railsounds

effects, operate in the TrainMaster

Command environment.
