Transformer operations

Running your NW-2 with a Lionel transformer

Place your NW-2 locomotive on Lionel or

Lionel-compatible O/O27 gauge track.

•Note the pull of Magne-Traction between your NW-2 and the steel track.

Magnetized wheels and axles increase your pulling power (more than 20 cars on

straight and level track) and keep your NW-2 on track while passing swiftly

through curves.

2Power up your NW-2 with your transformer.

•Your NW-2 is designed to operate on 7-18 volts alternating cur-

rent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transform-

ers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad con-

trol system.

•Do not power your NW-2 with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive

electronic components may occur.

•When you first power up your track, the NW-2 will wait between 3

and 8 seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster

Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a con-

ventional (nonCommand) railroad, the NW-2’s headlights will illuminate and

Railsounds will fire up. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. (This occurs

when placing the NW-2 on your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it starts in

forward after every three-second power interrupt.)

Note!

3Move ‘em out!

•Get your NW-2 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or

Lionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel Command reverse unit (LCRU) to

the next operating state. The LCRU alternates between three states: forward, neu-

tral, and reverse.

•Adjust track voltage until your NW-2 moves at your desired speed. To

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

the locomotive, cut track power.

•To select a single operating state (example: forward only), you can deac-

tivate the LCRU’s sequencing function. Get your NW-2 moving in the desired

direction, then slide the reverse unit control switch on the locomotive’s under-

side to PROGRAM. See page 12 for the switch location and positioning.

A note on Magne-Traction

Your NW-2 is equipped with Lionel

Magne-Traction, magnetized wheelsets

and axles that help increase tractive effort

during operation. Because the wheelsets are

magnetized, take care to prevent small

metallic objects from attaching to the wheel

sets and working their way into the NW-2’s

motor assembly. They can damage your

locomotive.

Magne-Traction is not effective

on nonferrous track.

Note!

Using your NW-2’s Electrocouplers in the non-Command environ-

ment

To use your NW-2’s Electrocouplers in the

non-Command environment, you must

first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped

with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to

your NW-2. The magnetic coupler on the

rolling stock will then react to the magnetic

field generated by a Lionel remote-control

track section (available separately). 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 coupler opens.

Your NW-2s Electrocouplers will

NOT open manually or by using a

remote-control track section

Using your NW-2’s Electrocouplers in the TrainMaster Command

environment

Your Lionel NW-2 is equipped with

front and rear Electrocouplers

that respond to the COUPLER F

(front) and COUPLER R (rear) button

on your CAB-1 remote when operated

in the Trainmaster Command envi-

ronment. Simply press either button

on your CAB-1 remote, and that cou-

pler opens.

YourNW-2’s Electrocouplers are NOT designed to be opened manually.

Your NW-2’s Railsounds system—the basics

Note! Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the Railsounds

on/off switch.

Lionel Railsounds is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. Your NW-

2 features digital samples from an authentic NW-2 for the ultimate in realism.

Apply track power and the NW-2’s Railsounds system delivers an authentic start-up

sequence, followed by sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the NW-2’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 diesel RPM roar (horn and bell remain unaffected), slide

the Railsounds switch to its SIGNAL position before powering up the locomotive. See page 12

for the switch location and positioning. To return to the diesel RPM roar, return the switch to

the FULL position before powering up the locomotive.

Transformer operations

Experiencing the range of your NW-2’s Railsounds system

With Railsounds, you experience the sounds of real railroading like never before. Simply

put, it’s the most sophisticated, authentic model railroad sound system in the world.

•Four diesel-roar levels. Your NW-2’s speed determines the level of diesel RPM roar—

automatically, if you prefer: idle, slow, medium, or full-speed output.

•MultiHorn™.A different horn sound every time—a Railsounds exclusive.

•Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect; again to

discontinue.

•Full control of RPMs. Prefer hands-on control of diesel RPM roar? Want to “ramp up”

RPMs before pulling out, just like real diesels do? It’s easy with Railsounds. Place your NW-

2 in neutral and increase track voltage to maximum. RPMs will continue to increase as

long as the NW-2 remains in neutral, eventually reaching their highest level. Now, within 3

seconds, decrease track voltage to the desired speed level, press DIR on your CAB-1 remote

or transformer, and head out with your NW-2 at full churn, just like the real thing. RPMs

will remain at that level until the locomotive has come to a complete halt. Experiment

with controllable RPMs—it’s a blast!

Notes on Railsounds

• Use the volume control knob in the radio wheel of the NW-2 to adjust sound output. (See

page 11 for its location.)

• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during Railsounds operation. They’re automatic

and, of course, authentic.

• For even more authentic Railsounds effects, operate in the TrainMaster Command

environment.

TrainMaster Command operations

The Command control environment

Lionel TrainMaster Command is the

advanced model railroad control system

from Lionel. Your NW-2 is equipped with the

Lionel Command reverse unit and features

digital Railsounds control.

TrainMaster Command gives you the

power to operate multiple Command-

equipped locomotives on the same track, at

the same time.

To operate in Command, you need

a Command Base and a CAB-1

remote. Find them both at your authorized

Lionel retailer.

Place your NW-2 locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible O/O27 gauge track.

•Make sure track power is OFF before placing your NW-2 on the

track.

•Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications

wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U post

on any of your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on

PowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).

Address your NW-2 locomotive using CAB-1.

•Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This com-

mand is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates your com-

mand into digital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in

the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital

communication, but they do not respond until they hear their individual ID

number—in this case, “1.”

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—con-

trols the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gaso-

line in the tank of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t

tell you where to go or how fast to get there.

•All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an

ID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your NW-2, see page 12.

Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your NW-2 locomotive will

respond to your every command. Read on.

7TowerCom™is an audible announce-

ment that includes that engine’s road

number and/or name. Your locomotive fea-

tures the NEW TWO PART TowerCom

announcement. By following these simple

steps you will trigger a unique standby or

departure message. There will be a 4 second

delay before the message plays. This allows

for interactive audio between two TowerCom

equipped units. After pressing AUX-1, press-

ing 7 produces the standby announcement.

If you press 7 a second time, you will get the

departure announcement. Also, by inserting

any command between AUX-1 and 7, you

will get the departure announcement. We

suggest BRAKE, since while stationary, this

has no function.

When you press AUX1 on CAB-1,

you turn the numeric keypad

into 10 command buttons. The

keypad lets you control extra com-

mand features (until you press any

top-row button like SW, ACC, RTE,

TR, or ENG). The CAB-1 keypad

overlays included with your NW-2 are

designed to help you learn the aux-

iliary features specific to this loco-

motive. Railsounds sounds
