You purchased a tough, durable loco-

motive—the RS-11 diesel locomotive

built by Lionel. From the crisp detail and

expert decoration on the outside to the brute

power under the hood, the Lionel RS-11 is

ready for duty on your model railroad.

Experience the superiority of today’s Lionel.

Congratulations!

3Move ‘em out!

Place your RS-11 locomotives on Lionel or

Lionel-compatible O gauge track.

2Power up your RS-11 with your transformer.

• Your RS-11 is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating cur-

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

ers are suitable.

• Do not power your RS-11 with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive

electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, your RS-11’s headlights will illu-

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

RS-11 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 for the first time, 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 10 seconds.

Note!

Running your Lionel RS-11 with a Lionel transformer

Transformer operations

• Get your RS-11 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or

Lionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel reverse unit to the next operating

state.

• Adjust track voltage until your RS-11 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 RS-11 in a single oper-

ating state

Using your RS-11 ElectroCoupler in the

non-Command environment

To use your RS-11 ElectroCoupler in the

non-Command environment, you must

first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped

with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to

your RS-11’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 RS-11 ElectroCouplers will

NOT open manually or by using

a remote-control track section

Magnetic coupler on the rolling stock coupled

to the rear of your RS-11

Note!

Remote-control

track section

To select a single operational state for

your Lionel RS-11 (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 with-

out stopping. Set the reverse unit control

switch to PROGRAM. The RS-11 is now

“locked” into your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-direc-

tion operation, just slide the reverse unit

control switch back to RUN.

Help your Lionel RS-11 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 RS-11’s

wheels or your track. You’ll know your

RS-11 requires lubrication when visual

inspection reveals dryness on the parts indi-

cated in the illustration. Remove accumu-

lated dirt and dust before lubricating, and

always lubricate any locomotive emerging

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 peri-

odic addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order

to function. Pierce the tube end with a pin,

then add 10-15 drops of fluid into the loco-

motive’s stack. See diagram for location of

smoke generator duct.

Smoke production will com-

mence momentarily, faster if

you run your locomotive at

speed. When smoke produc-

tion wanes, add more fluid

(four to eight drops).

If you prefer to have a

smoke free locomotive, there

is a switch located on the

bottom of the engine under

the cab marked SMK/NO

SMK (see page 6 for location). Move the

switch to NO SMK and your locomotive will

stop smoking.

When the smoke unit is on always keep

a small amount of smoke fluid in the loco-

motive’s smoke generator; the generator’s

element can become damaged if operated

without fluid. Smoke production is greater

at higher voltages and when the Locomotive

is pulling a heavy load or long consist.

Maintaining and servicing your RS-11

Add fluid here

WARNING: Never operate the smoke unit when dry. This will cause the

smoke unit to overheat and may damage your engine.

Replacing your RS-11’s L.E.D.

Your RS-11 is illuminated by two L.E.D.

Circuit Boards. During the course of

normal operation, they may require

replacement. The rear L.E.D. assembly can

be replaced with Lionel Part No. 610-8596-

019. The front L.E.D. assembly can be

replaced with Lionel Part No. 610-8596-020.

We recommend that you have the L.E.D.

replacement done at a Lionel Service

Station. See Lionel Service section on page

16 for more information. Reinstall the shell.

Conventional Operation

• Setting Speed Control

1. Run the engine at the desired speed for approximately 5 seconds.

2. Press and hold the horn button.

3. While holding the horn button, increase the track voltage by at least 3 volts (at least

1/4 turn).

4. Speed control is set. (NOTE: Engine speed will increase slightly then return to set

speed.)

• Turning Off Speed Control:

1. While the engine is in neutral, turn the Controller up to the maximum power, wait 1

second then press and hold the horn button.

2. While holding the horn button slowly, reduce track voltage to 1/4 the full power.

3. Release horn.

4. Cycle the engine to forward/reverse. The engine is now out of speed control mode.

CAUTION: In conventional operation, the smoke unit and lights are connected

directly to track power. Do not exceed 14-16 volts for extended periods. Doing so will

cause damage to the locomotive.

Command Operation

While in the command control environment, the speed control feature of the Odyssey

System is always on. When turning the throttle, the speed of the engine will respond to each

flash of the command Base. Example: Address the engine, slowly turn the throttle. The first

light flash corresponds to the first speed step, this is the slowest speed of the locomotive.

Odyssey System operations

Basically, the Odyssey System is a “cruise

control” for your engine. Once the

speed is set (see below), your engine will

maintain a constant speed, no matter what

loads or grades you have on your layout.

This digitally controlled system also allows

for extremely slow movement that will

amaze any “scale” enthusiasts.

Note!

Your RS-11 RailSounds system—the basics

Lionel RailSounds is the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the

world. Your RS-11 features digital samples

from real-life diesel locomotives for the

ultimate in realism.

You may choose to install a 9-volt alka-

line battery in your RS-11. This ensures

interruption free operation of RailSounds.

The battery clip is located under the body

toward the front of the fuel tank. Remove

the engine body, refer to the diagram on

page 6 for location of mounting screws.

When you first apply track power, the

RS-11’s RailSounds system produces sounds

of the locomotive at rest. As the RS-11

moves, R.P.M.s begin increasing with the

locomotive’s speed.

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 6), before powering up

the locomotive.

Installing a 9-volt alkaline

battery in your RS-11.

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.

Maintaining and servicing your RS-11

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

RS-11’s speed determines the level of

diesel RPM roar—automatically, if

you prefer: 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 RS-11 telling you the 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 RS-11.

If you’re done with operations,

RailSounds will commence with a real-

istic diesel shutdown sequence about two

seconds after the air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your RS-11’s RailSounds system

Notes on RailSounds

• Turn the volume control set screw

(location shown on page 6) clockwise or

counter clockwise 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 RS-11 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.
