Move ‘em out!

Place your steam locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O gauge track.• With track power OFF, connect the locomotive tether between the engine and

tender. The four-pin tender plug connects with the four-pin receptacle on the loco-motive. Connect the drawbar between locomotive and tender.

• The engine tether receptical is “keyed” to allow the harness to be plugged in onlyone way.

Running your steam locomotive with a Lionel transformer

Note!

Power up your steam locomotive with your transformer.• Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating current.

Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers aresuitable.

• Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage tosensitive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, your locomotive’s headlights willilluminate. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. When your train is firstpowered up, the default state will be neutral and the default direction is forward.This means whenever you power up your engine the engine will remain in neu-tral, and when the power is removed and again applied, the train will move for-ward. This condition holds true if the engine is being powered up for the first timeor if the engine has been powered down longer than five seconds.

• Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote orLionel transformer. This sequences the Lionel 104 E reverse unit to the next oper-ating state. The 104 E unit alternates between three states: forward, neutral, andreverse.

• Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. Toincrease speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce voltage. To stopthe locomotive, cut track power.

• See table on page 6 for information on locking your locomotive ina single operating state.

The rear of yourLionel locomotives

tender is equippedwith an operatingmagnetic knucklecoupler, a revolution-ary design first intro-duced by Lionel in1945.

Lionel magneticcouplers react to themagnetic field gener-ated by a Lionelremote-control tracksection (available separately).

Place your locomotive’s coupler triggerdisc over the central coil of a remote-controltrack section and press Uncouple on the con-

troller. The magneticfield pulls the discdownward, and theknuckle opens.

One operating tech-nique favored by Lionelrailroaders is the “mov-ing uncouple.” Pressthe Uncouple button asthe locomotive passesover a remote-controlsection. The magneticfield will open the cou-pler; the consist

remains behind as the locomotive moves on.But be careful—the speed of a newly uncou-pled and moving locomotive can increasedramatically.

Position your locomotive’s trigger disc over theremote-control section, then press “uncouple.”The coupler opens.

W ith SignalSounds, you experience thesounds of real railroading like never

before. Simply put, it delivers realistic, andauthentic sounds to your model railroad.Turn the volume set screw clockwise orcounter clockwise to adjust sound output.(located on the bottom/side of the tender

frame in the middle and marked with a +and -). • Steam Whistle. Press whistle to producean authentic steam whistle blast.• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on yourCAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect;again to discontinue.

Your locomotive is equipped with Tire-Traction. This means that two of the

drive wheels are fitted with rubber tractiontires to enhance tractive effort so your loco-motive can pull many cars at once.

Lionel locomotives with Tire-Traction gripthe track, enabling them to pull heavy loadsat higher speeds.

Lionel has provided an extra set of traction

tires to replace the installed traction tires ifthey wear out. Simply unscrew the drive rodnut from the wheel and slip off the old trac-tion tire and remove it from under the driverod. Place the new one on the wheel in thereverse of this step and tighten the drive rodnut back up and your ready to pull that longfreight back to the yard.

Summary Table of Engine DirectionsCondition Direction Change Cycle

Case #1: First power up or without power longer than 5 sec.E unit off (switch in PROG position) N, F, N, F, etc.E unit on (switch in RUN position) N, F, N, R, etc.

Case #2: Engine without power for less than 2.5 secondsE unit off (switch in PROG position) N, Last-Dir, N, Last-Dir, etc.E unit on (switch in RUN position) N, F, N, R, etc.

With your 104E reversing unit, posi-tioning the switch in the PROGposition locks your engine into itslast moving direction plus neutral.Positioning the switch in the RUNposition resumes normal sequenc-ing operation.

Your locomotive’s 104E Reverse unit

The New E-Series Reversing Unit controlsthe direction of the engine. When the

reversing unit senses an interruption in trackpower, it will cycle into the next direction inthe sequence. The sequence is neutral, for-ward, neutral, reverse.... Track power inter-ruptions are created using the direction con-trol on your transformer or Cab-1, or byturning the throttle to zero.

When power is first applied (or after a 5second power interruption), the engine willpower up in neutral, always before forward. Asingle press of the direction button will setyour engine in forward motion. This will helpeliminate unexpected start ups, derailments,and crashes. Listed in the table below is thedirection sequence pattern that your 104Eunit will follow under the given conditions.

As always, a lockout switch is included todeactivate the 104 E’s sequencing function.(for switch location see illustration below) Anew feature is that now you will have a neu-

tral available even when the reversing unit is“off”. In addition, you no longer have toslow the engine by hand to turn off thereversing unit while the train is moving.Simply stop the engine, and throw theswitch. The 104E unit will be locked into itslast moving direction, plus neutral. Evensimpler, just put the switch in the “PROG”position and keep power off for 5 seconds.When you start, you will be locked in neu-tral/forward.Otherwise, your “reverse” lockwill become a “forward” lock after any 5 sec-ond power off.

NOTE: Due to limitations of the electroniccomponents, it is hard to predict how eachengine will function when power is interrupt-ed between 2.5 seconds and 5 seconds.Engines will function either as in case #1 orcase #2. This solely depends on the toler-ances of the installed electronics and is notaffected or caused by your power supply.

Maintaining your locomotive

Help your Lionel steam locomotive lead along and productive life on your rail-

road 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), andavoid getting grease or oil on the steam loco-motive’s wheels, contact rollers, or yourtrack.

You’ll know your steam locomotiverequires lubrication when visual inspection

reveals dryness on the parts indicated in theillustration. Remove accumulated dirt anddust before lubricating, and always lubricateany locomotive emerging from prolonged stor-age. Also, lightly lubricate the steam locomo-tive’s side rods after each 10 hours of operation.

Lubricating your steam locomotive

Do not lubricate your locomotive’s electricmotor.. It has been pretested and all the nec-essary moving parts have been sufficientlylubricated for life at the factory and shouldrun smoothly for many years to come. If you

have any difficulty in the operation of yourengine see the Warranty and service sectionat the end of the instruction sheet for moreinformation.

Available Railsounds and Command Control Upgrades

To experience the most from your locomotiveseveral upgrade options are available,

including Railsounds, Command Control, andElectrocoupler. With these you can enjoy thefull spectrum of digitally recorded real steamlocomotive sounds and the ability to controlyour locomotive from anywhere. As with all

upgrades you may choose to have this done atan authorized Lionel Service Center for a fee, oryou can choose to “do it yourself”. Just fol-low these instructions we have included andyou’ll be ready to experience the fun that istoday’s Lionel.

Adding fluid to your Locomotive’s smoke generator

Your Locomotive is equipped with asmoke generator that produces safe,

clean white smoke during operation.The smoke generator requires the periodic

addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order tofunction. Pierce the tube end with a pin, thenadd four to eight drops of fluid directly intothe Locomotive’s stack. Smoke productionwill commence momentarily, faster if yourun your Locomotive at speed. When smokeproduction wanes, add more fluid (four toeight drops).

If you prefer to have a smoke free locomo-tive, there is a switch located on the bottom ofthe engine under the cab marked SMOKE ON

OFF (see page 6 for location). Move the switchto off and your locomotive will stop smoking.

If you have installed the Command Con-trol upgrade you can use the feature below toincrease smoke production. An idle Loco-motive will not smoke; press AUX1 and 9(press for a maximum of 10 seconds) toengage the smoke generator at idle/in neu-tral. When the smoke unit is on Alwayskeep a small amount of smoke fluid in theLocomotive’s smoke generator; the genera-tor’s element can become damaged if operat-ed without fluid. Smoke production is greaterat higher voltages and when the locomotiveis pulling a heavy load or long consist.

To experience the RailSounds shutdownsequence, install a 9 volt battery in the ten-der at this time (see page 13). If no otherupgrades are to be made, recab the tenderreversing the cab removal steps. Your tenderwill now have RailSounds including hornand bell which respond to your sound activa-tion button, and engine sounds which

respond to the speed of the locomotive and totrack voltage. Other random realistic soundswill occur, listen for these. For even moresounds and command control of yourengine, install the command upgrade kit 6-22960 (sold separately). Detailed instructionsfor this upgrade start on page 14.

Railsounds Upgrade

Using Lionel upgrade kit 6-22963, whichincludes two plug-in circuit boards,

installation is as follows: Step 1: Removethe tender body from the chassis as describedon page 9. Unplug the circuit with the alu-minum heat sink bracket and set it aside.(You will want to store this in the static resis-tant packaging from the upgrade kit). Plugthe RailSounds sound card into this connec-tor. (The sound card can be identified by thelarge square chips/receptacle on both sides).

Plug in the power supply card into the otherconnector. (The power supply card has thelarge coil on top). NOTE: Be sure these areplugged in correctly, or RailSounds will notfunction. Damage may occur if the engine isoperated with these circuits in the wronglocations!

Step 2: There is a jumper block in thecenter of the circuit board marked “SS-RS”.Move the black jumper block from ‘SS’ to‘RS’.

Notes on Railsounds

• The volume control is located on the bot-tom of the tender frame in the middleand marked with a + and -. Turn the vol-ume set screw clockwise or counter clock-wise to adjust the volume.

• Listen for incidental locomotive soundsduring Railsounds operation. They’reautomatic and, of course, authentic.

• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installedensures continuous steam locomotivesounds.

• Longer track-power interruptions(including locomotive derailments)cause Railsounds to shut down afterabout 7 seconds.

• For even more authentic Railsoundseffects, operate in the TrainMasterCommand environment.

Your locomotive’s Railsounds system—the basics

Lionel Railsounds is the most realisticmodel railroad sound system in the

world. Your locomotive Railsounds upgradefeatures digital samples for the ultimate inrealism.

Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-tery in your tender. This ensures interruptionfree operation of Railsounds. Remove thetender body as described on page 9. Connectthe 9-volt alkaline battery to the battery clip(remove the protective cover from the batteryclip), and place the battery in the holderinside the tender.

When you first apply track power, the loco-motive’s Railsounds system delivers anauthentic start-up sequence, followed by thesounds of the locomotive at idle. As the loco-motive’s speed increases, the chuff rate willincrease too.

To silence the steam chuff (horn and bellremain unaffected), slide the Railsoundsswitch, located underneath the tender, to theSIGNAL SOUND position before powering upthe locomotive. The switch is located on thebottom of the tender frame in the middle ofthe tender.

Although Railsounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for unin-terrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries.

Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing theRailsounds/Signalsounds on/off switch position.

If Railsounds “drops out” during track power interrupts (direction change),replace the battery.

W ith Railsounds, you experience thesounds of real railroading like never

before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticated,authentic model railroad sound system in theworld.

• Variable chuff rate. Your Locomo-tive’s speed determines the steam chuffrate.

• MultiWhistle™. Different whistlesevery time—a Railsounds exclusive.

• Authentic bell. Press BELL on yourCAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect,again to discontinue. Even the final “hit”is muted like the real thing.

• Reverse unit reset sound. Powerdown your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,and listen for the air-release sound—that’s the Locomotive telling you itsLiontech Command reverse unit has justreset to forward operation.

• Shutdown sequence. No other modelrailroad sound system shuts down likeRailsounds. Turn off track power, andafter the air-release reset sound, you havetwo seconds to restart your Locomotive. Ifyou’re done with operations, Railsoundswill commence with an authentic steamlocomotive shutdown sequence about twoseconds after the air-release reset occurs.

Battery must be installed for shutdown sequence.Note!

Battery slides inand snaps

The final step is to remove the 104E unitboard, just pull straight up and off the con-nector pins. Store the circuit board safelyaway for possible later use.

Take the R2LC circuit board that came

with your command upgrade kit and careful-ly press into place on the connector pins. Youare now ready to enjoy TrainMaster com-mand control operation. See page 17 for pro-gramming and operating instructions.

Unscrew thefour screws that mount the speaker to thechassis. There is a depression in the chassisright below the speaker location that has ascrew that holds the rear truck to the chassis.Remove this screw and rest the truck on thetable. Remove the old magnetic coupler bycompressing the spring under the retainingclip, then remove the clip with a needle nosepliers or a flat blade screwdriver. Carefullyrelease pressure on the spring to avoidlaunching parts airborne, causing possibleeye injury. The retaining clip post will dropoff the truck. Then remove the old couplerfrom the truck. Install the new

Electrocoupler by sliding the Electrocouplerunder the mounting boss. Push the retainingclip post up and install the spring. Compressthe spring, then insert the retaining clip. Becareful when doing this so the parts do notbecome airborne causing possible eye injury.Next replace the truck mounting screw andreinstall the speaker. Take the two electro-coupler wires and feed them through the sloton the back of the tender (see illustrationbelow). Take the white electrical connectorthat comes with the coupler upgrade kit.Plug the two leads from the electrocouplerinto the connector. (It doesn’t matter whichlead goes into which opening in the connec-tor). Plug the connector into the opening onthe circuit board. Finally, replace the body ofthe tender back on the frame taking care tomake sure that all wires are inside and donot get pinched.

Your steam locomotive in the TrainMaster Command environment

Lionel TrainMaster Command is the funand sophisticated model railroad control

system from Lionel. Your steam locomotivefeatures the Liontech Command reverse unit,which acts as both a conventional reverseunit as well as the key to unlocking manyextra features when you operate inCommand mode.

TrainMaster Command gives you the power

to operate multiple Command-equippedlocomotives on the same track, at the sametime. It’s the most fun you can have withelectric trains, and it’s incredibly easy too!Just follow the directions below and you’ll beon your way.

To operate in Command, you need aCommand Base and a CAB-1 remote. Findthem both at your authorized Lionel retailer.

Place your steam locomotive on Lionel or Lionel compatibleO gauge track.

• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on 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 anyof your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (onPowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).

22Address your steam locomotive with 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 translates your command intodigital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in the form of adigital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital communica-tion, but they do not respond until they hear their own ID number.

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—controlsthe actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gasoline inthe tank of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t tell youwhere to go or how fast to get there.

• All Upgrade kits come factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” Tochange your steam locomotive’s ID#, see page 21.

33Move ‘em out!
