Running your Lionel SD40 with a Lionel transformer

Place your SD40 on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible

• Note the pull of Magne-Traction between your SD40 and the steel track.

Magnetized wheels and axles increase your pulling power (more than

25 cars on straight and level track) and keep your SD40 on track while

passing swiftly through curves.

2Power up your SD40 with your transformer.

• Your SD40 is designed to operate on 7-18 volts alternating current.

Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current trans-

formers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model

railroad control system.

•

Donot power your SD40 with Direct current

(DC). Damage to sensitive

electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the SD40 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 conventional (nonCommand) railroad, the SD40’s headlights will illu-

minate and Railsounds will fire up. At this point, the SD40 is in neutral.

(This occurs when placing the SD40 on your railroad for the first time.

Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power inter-

rupt.)

3Move ‘em out!

• Get your SD40 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or

Lionel transformer. This sequences the Liontech Command reverse unit

(LCRU) to the next operating state. The LCRU alternates between three

states: forward, neutral, and reverse.

• Adjust track voltage until your SD40 moves at your desired speed. To

increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce volt-

age. 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 SD40 moving in the

desired direction, then slide the reverse unit control switch on the

SD40’s underside to PROGRAM/LOCK. See page 4 for the switch loca-

tion and positioning.

To select a single operational state for

your Lionel SD40 (example: forward

only), you can deactivate the LCRU2’s

sequencing function with the reverse unit

control switch, located on the underside of

the locomotive.

Get your locomotive moving in the

desired direction, then slow it down with-

out stopping. Set the reverse unit control

switch to PROGRAM/LOCK. The SD40 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 FORWARD/ RUN.

Your SD40 front and rear Electrocoupler™

will respond to the coupler release but-

tons on your CAB-1 remote when operated

in the TrainMaster Command environment

(see page 9 for button location). During con-

ventional operation, the Electrocouplers will

react to the magnetic field generated by a

Lionel remote-control track section (avail-

able separately).

In TrainMaster Command operation, sim-

ply press the

coupler F (

front) or r (rear) but-

ton on your CAB-1 remote, and the coupler

opens, accompanied by the Railsounds cou-

pler release sound.

In the conventional mode, place the cou-

pler’s “trigger disc”over the remote-control

track’s coil and press

uncouple

on the con-

troller. The magnetic field pulls the disc

downward, and the coupler opens.

One operating technique favored by

Lionel railroaders is the “moving uncouple.”

Press the

coupler

R button on your CAB-1

remote or, in the conventional mode, press

the

uncouple

button as the SD40 passes over

a remote-control section. The coupler will

open and the consist will remain behind as

the locomotive moves on.

But be careful when uncoupling—the

speed of a newly uncoupled and moving

locomotive can increase dramatically.

Lionel Railsounds is the most realistic

model railroad sound system in the

world. Your SD40 features digital sam-

ples from an authentic SD40 for the ulti-

mate in realism.

Begin by in-

stalling a 9-volt

alkaline battery

in your SD40.

This ensures int-

eruption free

operation of

Railsounds. Lift

off the access

panel as shown

in the illustra-

tion. Connect

the 9-volt alka-

line battery to

the battery clip

down inside on

the chassis.

Then replace

t h e a c c e s s

panel.

When you first apply track power, the

SD40’s Railsounds system delivers an

authentic start-up sequence, followed

by the sounds of the locomotive at idle.

As the SD40’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 s i l e n c e

the diesel

the Rail-

sounds switch,

located under-

Your SD40’s Railsounds system—the basics

Install a 9-volt alkaline battery in your SD40. Lift off the

access panel, connect the battery to the power cord,

Transformer operations

Note!

Although Railsounds is pow-

ered by track voltage, the

battery is required for unin-

terrupted operation. Use only

alkaline batteries.

Discontinue locomotive

power for 10 seconds before

changing the

Railsounds

on /oFF

switch

Note!

If Railsounds “drops out”

during track power inter-

rupts (direction change),

replace the battery.

Transformer operations

ith 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 SD40’s speed

determines the level of diesel RPM roar—

automatically, if you prefer: idle, medium, or

full-speed output.

• MultiHorn™. A different horn sound at dif-

ferent speeds—a Railsounds exclusive.

• Mechanical bell. Press BELLon your CAB-1

or transformer to begin the effect, again to

discontinue.

• Full control of RPMs. Prefer hands-on con-

trol of diesel RPM roar? Want to “ramp

up”RPMs before pulling out, just like real die-

sels do? It’s easy with Railsounds. Place your

SD40 in neutral and increase track voltage to

maximum. RPMs will continue to increase as

long as the SD40 remains in neutral, eventu-

ally reaching their highest level.

Now, decrease track voltage to the desired

speed level, press DIR on your CAB-1 remote

or transformer, and head out, your SD40 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!

• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your

track, wait for 3-5 seconds, and listen for the

air-release sound—that’s the SD40 telling

you its Lionel Command reverse unit has just

reset to forward operation.

• Shutdown sequence. No other model rail-

road sound system shuts down like

Railsounds. Turn off track power, and after

the air-release reset sound, you have two

seconds to restart your SD40. If you’re done

with operations, Railsounds will commence

with an authentic SD40 shutdown sequence

about two seconds after the air-release reset

occurs.

Experiencing the range of your SD40’s Railsounds system

Notes on Railsounds

• Turn the volume set screw clockwise or

counter clockwise in the location shown to

adjust sound output.

• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds

during Railsounds operation. They’re auto-

matic and, of course, authentic.

• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed

ensures continuous SD40 diesel roar.

• Longer track-power interruptions (includ-

ing locomotive derailments) cause

Railsounds to shut down after about 7 sec-

onds.

• For even more authentic Railsounds effects,

operate in the TrainMaster Command envi-

ronment.

The Command control environment

Lionel T rainMaster Command is the

advanced model railroad control system

from Lionel. Your SD40 is equipped with a

Liontech Command reverse unit.

TrainMaster Command gives you the

power to operate multiple Command-

equipped locomotives on the same track, at

the same time.

TrainMaster Command operations

Place your SD40 on Lionel or Lionel-

compatible

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing 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 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).

2Address your SD40 using CAB-1.

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

command is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then trans-

lates your command 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—

controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is

simply like gasoline 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 SD40, see page 12.

3Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your SD40 will

respond to your every command. Read on.
