Locomotive control

You may choose to control your LionChief Plus locomotive with the included LionChief

remote (using a transformer or power supply capable of supplying a constant 18 VAC or 18

VDC to the track) or using a conventional three-rail AC transformer with a throttle and whis-

tle/horn and bell button. Use the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE control switch to select between

LionChief remote operation or conventional three-rail AC transformer operation.

If you choose to run your locomotive in LionChief mode, slide the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE

switch to the REMOTE position. Your locomotive runs on fixed 18 VAC or 18 VDC voltage,

which is optimal for the sound system. The locomotive listens to commands from its LionChief

remote at a specific frequency to increase or decrease speed, change directions, trigger sounds,

or operate the ElectroCouplers. That’s why the locomotive and remote must be operated as a

matched pair.

If you choose to run your LionChief locomotive with a transformer, slide the

TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch to TRANSFORMER position with the track power off. The

powered locomotive responds to the transformer’s throttle, direction, horn, and bell buttons.

LionChief RC sound system

Your locomotive features a wide range of sounds to make operation even more realistic and

interactive! The revving sounds are synchronized with the speed of the locomotive. You

may choose to turn the sounds off by sliding the RPM/SOUND switch to the OFF position. See

page 5 for switch locations.

LionChief Plus system features

ElectroCouplers

The ElectroCouplers can only be activated when the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch is in

the REMOTE position. For more information on activating the ElectroCouplers, see page 9.

Note that in Transformer mode, you should open the coupler on the car when coupling to

your train as you will not have remote control of the locomotive’s ElectroCouplers. Press the

bell button twice to operate the front coupler. Press the horn button twice to operate the rear

coupler.

Switch locations

Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the switches on the underside of the locomotive’s cab.

RPM/SND switch: Turns background sounds on and off. Horn, bell, and announcement are

not affected.

TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch: Toggles between Remote control mode and transformer

control mode.

Installing AAA batteries into the Remote Control

For safety purposes, you must use a Phillips screwdriver to access the battery compartment. Use a

Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw that secures the battery compartment hatch and lift

the hatch to access the battery compartment (as shown in Figure 2). Insert three AAA alkaline

batteries orienting the +/- as shown in the bottom of the battery compartment. Replace the battery

door and tighten the Philips head screw. Be careful to avoid overtightening the screw.

Use only Alkaline AAA batteries. Use only new batteries. Never mix new and used

batteries or use different types together.

Figure 2. Opening and closing the battery compartment

When you are not operating the train, move the On/Off switch to the

Off position to conserve the battery life.

Important!

Remove screw and remove

battery compartment hatch

REMOVE ALL BATTERIES WHEN THE TRAIN WILL NOT BE USED FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. LIONEL'S LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT

COVER DAMAGE TO YOUR REMOTE CAUSED FROM LEAKING BATTERIES.

ON/OFF SWITCH

To conserve your batteries,

move the On/Off switch to the

Off position when you are

done operating your train.

SPEED INDICATOR LIGHT

The red light will remain on during

normal operation. The light will begin

to flash when the locomotive is in

motion, and the flashing will vary with

the

locomotive's speed.

BELL

The BELL button will acti-

vate the bell sounds on

locomotives equipped with

this feature. Press the

BELL button to begin the

sounds; press the button

again to turn off the bell.

Press

two times within

ONE second to

trigger the

ElectroCoupler on

the front pilot.

HORN

The HORN button will activate

your locomotive’s horn. Press two

times within ONE second to

trigger the ElectroCoupler on the

rear pilot.

COUPLER

The COUPLER button will activate

your locomotive’s couplers. Press two

times within ONE second to trigger the

ElectroCoupler on the rear pilot. Press

once to trigger the front coupler.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Press the center button for a variety of

announcements. See page 10 for more

information.

THROTTLE

Turn the throttle knob clockwise to go

forward and adjust the speed. Turn the

throttle knob counter-clockwise to go

reverse and adjust the speed. To stop the

train, simply return the throttle knob to

the center position.

Running your locomotive set with the LionChief remote

Slide the TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch to the REMOTE position.

Refer to Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of this switch.

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

Power up the track to 18 volts (AC or DC) and move the remote

power switch to ON. When the locomotive is powered up, it will beep until it

syncs with the remote. When the locomotive is synced up with the remote, the

locomotive start-up sounds will begin to play.

When in remote mode and powered up on the track, the loco-

motive will continue to beep until it is synced up with its

remote. If the locomotive beeps during operation, be sure that

fresh batteries are installed properly in the remote and the

TRANSFORMER/REMOTE switch is in the REMOTE position.

Move ‘em out! Use your remote to run your train. You can adjust the speed in

forward or reverse, blow the whistle, sound the bell, or trigger an announce-

ment. Refer to page 7 for complete details.

Turn off the power supply when you are done running your trains.

Switch off your remote control to conserve the batteries.

Remote operations

Note!

Remote operations

Operating the ElectroCouplers with the LionChief remote

In LionChief remote mode, press the HORN/ElectroCoupler button two times within one sec-

ond to open the rear ElectroCoupler. Press the BELL/ElectroCoupler button two times within

one second to open the front ElectroCoupler. The buttons must be pressed quickly and then

released in the period of one second to activate the ElectroCouplers.

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

Note!

Operating multiple LionChief Plus locomotives

You may choose to operate more than one LionChief Plus locomotive at the same time—

including locomotives of the same type (e.g., two E33 Rectifiers with different road names

and/or road numbers). Each locomotive is paired with a unique remote. A locomotive will

only respond to commands from its corresponding remote.

If you attempt to operate two of the exact same locomotives (same type, roadname, and

Lionel part number), then one remote will control both locomotives simultaneously.

Triggering sounds and announcements with the LionChief remote

Press the announcement on the LionChief remote to trigger the corresponding sounds. In

addition, your locomotive plays a variety of announcements that are designed to match

the way you operate the train. You can trigger an announcement that corresponds to each part

of the journey. See page 13 to silence the sounds or adjust the volume level.

Note that the dialog is different between locomotive types (e.g., between GP7s and E33

Rectifiers.) As such, the actual announcements are not listed out in the table above.
