Track layout

Suggested track layouts

Here are some examples of layouts you can build with track included with your train set.

Remember—the more track you own, the more variations you can create in your train lay-

out. And that means more action and more fun!

oin the track sections together

by inserting the pins of one track

section into the rail open-

ings of another. For good

electrical contact, pins must

be carefully inserted and

track joints tightly ﬁtted.

f the track is difﬁcult to

connect, try this installation

tip. You can “break in” O-27

track sections by inserting

and withdrawing a track

pin into one rail at a time

before joining the entire

track section.

f the openings become too open

(causing the track to ﬁt loosely), pinch

the rail together around a track pin with

a pair of pliers. f any pins fall out of the

track and are missing,

replace them with extras

available from your Lionel

dealer.

aintenance tip: The rails

should be kept clean, dry,

and free from oil and grease.

Clean rust and dirt spots

with a track eraser. Wipe the

track using a cloth damp-

ened with track cleaner from

the Lionel maintenance kit

(no. 6-62927), available from

your nearest Lionel Authorized Value

Added Dealer or Lionel Service.

Joining the track sections

Attaching the lockon to the track

Hook lip to the

outside of the rail

he lockon connects power from

your controller to the track.

Attaching the lockon to the

track is quick and easy.

First, place the lockon

under any straight

section of track.

Fit the center

lip of the lock-

on onto the edge of an outside rail. Press

the lockon upward so that the

spring contact snaps onto

the center rail. The lockon

should face outward when

setting up your track and

make sure it is firmly connect-

ed. Use the illustrations below as

a step-by-step guide.

LOCKON

Once the lockon is securely

attached to the track, it’s time to

insert the wires from the controller

into the two spring clips on the lock-

on. See page 5 for easy-to-follow

steps.

Attaching the controller wires to the lockon

ow you’ll need to insert a controller

wire into each of the two spring clips

on the lockon.

t’s easy! Depress the spring clip with

your ﬁnger and insert the bare end of

the wire into the exposed opening.

Release the spring clip. Give the wire a

little tug to make sure it’s secure. Repeat

these steps with the other spring clip.

Next, insert the small plug end of the

power pack into the back of your con-

troller, and plug the other end into a

standard outlet.

f the whistle fails to operate

when you press the whistle

button on your controller (see

page 7), remove the wires

from the lockon and reinsert

each one into the opposite clip

to reverse polarity.

Plug this end into

back of controller.

Stripping the wire

Note!

Plug power pack

into standard

wall outlet

Make sure that the bare end

of each wire is securely

attached to the spring clip.

Controller operations

nce your track is assembled and

the lockon is

securely attached,

you can connect

the wires from

the controller to

the lockon.

First you‘ll want to

check the ends of the

wires to make sure that the insulation is

stripped back about 1⁄4" to

3⁄8". To strip the

wires, use a

pair of wire

strippers or

a sharp knife.

Caution:

Only an adult

should perform this task!

Always use care when stripping wires.

Controller functions

s you turn the throttle control knob

to the right, power to the track is

increased. When the indicator reaches

the green band, there should be sufﬁ-

cient power to operate the locomotive.

The further into the green area the knob

is turned, the faster your train will go.

Remember that the greater the load on

the engine (adding more cars for the

engine to pull, for example), the farther

into the green the knob must be turned

before it will operate the locomotive.

The yellow band indicates the aver-

age power range that the train will be

operating in. The red band represents

maximum power output.

Controller operations

our Lionel power pack is listed by

Underwriters Laboratories nc. and

has been carefully designed and tested

to ensure peak performance. The con-

troller is equipped with a built-in elec-

tronic circuit breaker that alternately

cuts off and restores the ﬂow of power

to the track whenever a short circuit

exists—for example, when the train

derails. The circuit breaker’s action con-

tinues until the cause of the short circuit

is eliminated. This circuit breaker is

incorporated into the controller to pro-

tect it from possible damage. t will not

protect the locomotive or electrically

operated accessories, so it’s important

to eliminate short circuits as soon as

possible.

The power pack must be

unplugged from the wall

socket when a short circuit

is noticed, and the short cir-

cuit must be corrected.

A short circuit is caused by a direct

connection between the center rail and

one of the outside rails or by a direct

connection between bare wires. The

axles of a derailed car or locomotive are

the most frequent cause of short circuits,

so make sure that all wheels are proper-

ly set on the rails. Some other causes of

short circuits might be staples, nails,

paper clips, or other metallic objects

lying across the rails, or two bare wires

touching each other.

f too many cars or accessories are

used, your controller will exceed its

power limit and begin to cycle on and

off. To correct this problem, cars or

accessories must be removed before

normal operation can resume. For more

power, see the line of Lionel high-out-

put transformers at your Authorized

Lionel Value Added Dealer.

The same condition can occur if the

power is turned up too quickly. This

also could cause your train to move too

fast and derail.

After your power pack has been oper-

ating for a while, you will ﬁnd it warm

to the touch. t is the nature of all electri-

cal power equipment to become warm

when in use. f your controller is loaded

to capacity, it is a good idea to let it cool

down after an hour or two of continu-

ous use. Unplug the power pack from

the wall when the controller is not in

use.

Note!

Controller and short circuits

Train operation

Reverse unit procedure

he reverse unit inside your Lionel

locomotive is an electronic device

that acts like the transmission in your

car. When you apply power to the

track, the locomotive moves in the

direction specified by the reverse

unit—or it sits in neu-

tral, awaiting another

power interruption.

Power interruptions

are the signal that tells

the reverse unit to

sequence to the next

operational state.

To interrupt power

and sequence the loco-

motive’s reverse unit,

press the direction control button or

turn the throttle to the OFF position and

ONagain. The reverse unit alternates

between three states: forward, neutral,

and reverse.

Also, the locomotive can be “locked”

into a certain mode of operation by

throwing the switch located on the

underside of the frame (see illustration

above). When the switch is thrown to

the OFF position, the locomotive will be

locked in the next mode of operation in

the sequence. For instance, if the loco-

motive is moving forward, then is

stopped and the switch is thrown back,

the locomotive will be “locked” in neu-

tral. f the switch is thrown back while

the locomotive is

under power, the loco-

motive will remain in

the mode it was in

when the switch was

thrown. The controller

direction control will

then have no affect on

the direction of the

locomotive.

Additionally, this

reverse unit has a “power-up reset” fea-

ture, which means that should the loco-

motive sit without power for a short

period of time, the reverse unit will

automatically reset and start in the for-

ward direction when the transformer is

turned on or “powered up,” regardless

of the locking switch position. f the

locking switch is in the OFF position, the

locomotive will start in the forward

direction and be “locked” there.

Tire-Traction™

Coupling

our locomotive is equipped with

Tire-Traction. This means that

one of the drive wheels is fitted with

a rubber traction tire to enhance trac-

tive 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.

fter you have assembled the track,

place the locomotive and rolling

stock on the track. Before coupling

the cars, make sure the wheels are

properly set on the rails.

When coupling your cars, at least

one of the mating couplers must be

open as shown below at the left. Now

simply push the cars toward each

other until they lock together.

Now you’re ready to pull out of the

station. All aboard!

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

Push down the

lock release to

open the coupler.

Note: Your observation car has only a front coupler,

so it should be placed at the end of the train.

600-0161-300

our 4-4-2 locomotive lights the way

with headlamp illumination.

During the course of normal operation,

the lamp may require replacement.

First remove the two front truck

screws and carefully slide the front

truck assembly off the linkage rods.

Lift the smoke unit out far enough

from the cab to allow lamp extraction.

Pull the lamp straight out and replace

it with Lionel part no. 600-0161-300,

available from your nearest Lionel

Authorized Service Center or from

Lionel Service. Be careful not to twist

the lamp or it may break.

Now, reinstall the smoke unit, mak-

ing sure that the smoke stack lines up

with the cab top opening. Reassemble

the front truck, making sure that the

linkage rods go into the holes in the

front truck. The lug wire from the

smoke unit must be reinserted through

the slot in the front truck assembly and

secured under one of the two front

screws. Tighten the screws ﬁrmly but

do not over tighten.
