Joining the FasTrack track sections

FasTrack track sections join together easily. With interlocking roadbed sections and large

rail tabs, the track fits together securely so you always get good electrical contact. Take a

look at Figure 2 to see how to join the track sections.

1. Line up your two sections of track.

2. Insert the rail tabs into the openings at the ends of the corresponding

rails.

3. Press the sections together until the interlocking roadbed snaps into

place.

Figure 2. Joining the track sections

Building your Lionel layout

Your set comes with eight curved, three straight, and one terminal section of track. Figure 1

provides some examples of layouts that you can build with these track sections.

By adding more FasTrack track sections, you can create an endless number of exciting

track arrangements for more fun, action, and variety. The railroad empire of your dreams can

quickly become a reality!

Creating your layout

FasTrack terminal section

Notch

Spade-shaped

connector

Connect your FasTrack terminal section to the CW-80 Transformer. Use the wires that are already

attached to the terminal section. Make sure that all connections are secure. Loose connections

can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch the terminals or track

connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as lichen or ground foam near

the terminals.

1. Feed the wires through the notch in the FasTrack terminal section. Refer to

Figure 3.

2. Loosen the red T ACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the red

spade-shaped connector into position. The thumbscrew post should be positioned

between the “blades” of the spade connector. Be sure that the blades are touching the metal post.

Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the connection.

3. Loosen the black T ACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the black

spade-shaped connector into position. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the

connection. The thumbscrew post should be positioned between the “blades” of the spade

connector. Be sure that the blades are touching the metal post.

4. If you need to power an accessory (available separately at your authorized

Lionel dealer), connect the accessory to the ACCESSO Y thumbscrew

terminals. Use the accessory wire included with the CW-80 Transformer.

5. Plug the CW-80 Transformer into your wall outlet (120 volts).

As your layout expands, you may also make power connections with the stripped ends of wires,

placing no more than two wires on each terminal. For best performance on large layouts, it is

recommended that you use 16-gauge wire to connect your CW-80 Transformer to the track. On larger

layouts where several track connections are required, the use of separate junctions/terminal strips

(available at your local electronics store) is recommended to prevent voltage drops.

To prevent the excessive build up of heat, be sure to select the proper wire gauge for

your layout. Follow these guidelines:

• Track connections must be made with 18-gauge wire or heavier. Larger layouts

require a minimum of 16-gauge wire.

• Use 24-gauge wire only when connecting single accessories that require lower

current.

• When wiring multiple accessories (two or more) or accessories that require higher

current, be sure to use 18- to 16-gauge wire.

Caution!

Running your trains

Running your train set

With track power off, place your train set on the track.

Refer to page 8 for information on coupling the cars.

Power up your loco otive with your transfor er.

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

rent. 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 ‘e 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 loco otive and tender.

See Figure 4.

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 8 for additional information.

Caution!

Coupling

When coupling your cars, at least one of the mating couplers must be open as shown at the left

in Figure 5. Press down on the lock release to open the coupler, then push the cars toward

each other until they lock together.

eep in mind that it’s easier to couple cars on a straight stretch of track.

Adding smoke ﬂuid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

Your 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 9 on

page 11 for the location of the switch.

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

A small bottle of smoke fluid is included with this set. Press down and unscrew the cap. Pierce the

end of the nozzle with a pin, then add about four drops of fluid directly into the locomotive’s

stack. Smoke production commences momentarily. It will start 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!

Refer to Figure 8 on page 10 for the location of the Transformer features listed in this section.

THROTTLE

Push the throttle forward to increase track power. The markings on the throttle approxi-

mate the percentage of full power. For more realism, push the throttle slowly to gradually

increase or decrease the speed of the locomotive. Slowing or stopping the locomotive with the

throttle instead of the DIRECTION button will allow you to continue in the same direction

when you increase the throttle again. To achieve this effect, reduce the throttle to the point

that the locomotive stops moving, but don’t completely turn off the throttle. That way, your

train won’t sequence into neutral.

DIRECTION

The DIRECTION control button interrupts track power to activate the reverse unit in your

locomotive. Your locomotive will not respond to this button when the reverse unit switch is in

the OFF position.

WHISTLE

The WHISTLE button will activate your locomotive’s whistle or horn. The sound will con-

tinue until the button is released. No external sound activation buttons are needed.

Your locomotive features an operating air whistle in the tender.

BELL

The BELL button will activate the bell sounds on locomotives equipped with this feature. Press

and hold the BELL button for two to three seconds to begin the sounds; press and hold the button

again to turn off the ringing.

Your locomotive is not equipped with bell sounds.

Do not activate horns, whistles, or bells on RailSounds-equipped locomotives until

track power has been turned on for a few moments, or a continuous horn/whistle or

bell sound may occur. To correct this problem, simply turn off the CW-80

Transformer, then turn it back on.

POWER-ON INDICATOR

The green light will remain on during normal operation. The green light will begin to

flash if you exceed the power limit of the Transformer. The unit will allow you to momentarily

exceed the power limit, but power will be gradually reduced until the problem is corrected.

The benefit is that the Transformer will not instantly turn off.
