Transformer operationsRunning your locomotive with a Lionel transformer

Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track.• With track power OFF, connect the drawbar between locomotive and

tender as illustrated in Figure 1. That’s all you have to do with Lionel’s WirelessTether, an infrared communication system that eliminates the plugs and wires ofthe past.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on track with a minimum diameter of 72”.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternatingcurrent. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current trans-formers are suitable.Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage tosensitive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the locomotive will waitbetween three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language fromthe TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined thatit’s on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive headlight will illu-minate and RailSounds will start up. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral.(This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the first time.Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power interruption.)

• To experience all of your locomotive’s features, we recommend usingTrainMaster Command Control, available at your authorized Lionel dealer.

Move ‘em out!• Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or

Lionel transformer. This sequences the Command reverse unit to the next operatingstate.

• Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Transformer operations

To select a single operational state for yourLionel locomotive (example: forward

only), you can deactivate the Commandreverse unit’s sequencing function with thePROG/RUN switch, located on the right handside, below the cab. Refer to Figure 2 for theswitch location.

Get your locomotive moving in the desireddirection, then slow it down without stopping.Set the PROG/RUN switch to PROG while the

engine is in motion. The locomotive is now“locked” into your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-directionoperation, just slide the PROG/RUN switchback to RUN.

When powered down, theCommand reverse unit will reset toforward after approximately fiveseconds regardless of the lockedout direction.

Your locomotive’s Odyssey System speed control

You can lock your locomotive into speedcontrol mode (ideal for low speed opera-

tion) so it will automatically compensate forgrades and heavy loads, always maintaining aspecific speed setting. To turn on thespeed control, get your locomotive movingat the desired speed, in forward or reverse.Let it run at the desired speed for at least 5seconds. Press and hold the HORN/WHISTLEbutton on your transformer for 2-3 seconds asyou increase the throttle by at least 3 volts.Your locomotive will accelerate briefly andwill then return to your set speed. You canthen release the HORN/WHISTLE button. Aslong as the throttle position is maintained ata higher setting than the initial level, yourlocomotive will maintain a constant speed. Ifthe throttle is turned below the original level,your locomotive will slow down as the voltagedecreases below the “set” level. To check if thespeed control setting has been “accepted,”turn up the throttle. You will see the lightsbrighten, but the speed will remain constant.For best results, adjust the track voltage about3-4 volts above the “set” point. This will pro-

vide enough spare voltage to compensate foruphill grades, etc., but will prevent excessivevoltage to the lamps and smoke unit. (In con-ventional mode, these features operate attrack voltage, and excessive voltage may leadto premature bulb burn-out.)

• If you wish to change the speed controlsetting, you must deactivate the speedcontrol, then reactivate at the new setting.

To turn speed control off, get yourlocomotive into neutral for at least 5 seconds,then increase the track voltage to full powerwith the throttle on your transformer. Thiswill give you more “room” to lower the volt-age. Press the HORN/WHISTLE button onyour transformer for 2-3 seconds while lower-ing the throttle voltage to 1/4 of full power, orat least three volts. The speed control deacti-vates when it sees a 3 volt change with theHORN/WHISTLE button pressed, regardless ofinitial voltage level. Do not turn the throttleoff, or speed control may not deactivate.

Note! Speed control settings are retained in memory even if power is turned off.They will remain present until deactivated.

Your locomotive tender’sElectroCoupler will NOT open

manually or by using a remote-controltrack section.

Using your tender-mounted ElectroCoupler in the non-Command environment

To use your locomotive tender’s Electro-Coupler in the non-Command environ-

ment, you must rely on a piece of rollingstock equipped with Lionel magnetic cou-plers coupled directly to your locomotive ten-

der’s rear ElectroCoupler. The magnetic cou-pler on the rolling stock will then react tothe magnetic field generated by a Lionelremote-control track section (available separately, 6-65530 for O gauge, 6-65149 or6-12746 for O-27 gauge). Place your rollingstock’s coupler “trigger disc” over the centralcoil of a remote-control track section andpress UNCOUPLE on the controller. Themagnetic field pulls the disc downward, andthe coupler opens.

Your locomotive’s RailSounds system—the basics

L ionel RailSounds is the most realisticmodel railroad sound system in the

world. Your locomotive features digital sam-ples from real-life steam locomotives for theultimate in realism.

Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline bat-tery in the tender as illustrated in Figure 4.This ensures interruption-free operation ofRailSounds. The battery clip is located in thetender. To remove the tender body, refer tothe diagram on page 9 for the location ofmounting screws.

When you first apply track power, the loco-motive’s RailSounds system produces the

sounds of the locomotive at rest. As the loco-motive moves, the realistic turbine soundbegins increasing with the locomotive’sspeed.

To silence the steam turbine sound (whis-tle/bell are unaffected), slide the RailSoundsswitch, located on the underside of the tender(see page 9 for location), to the OFF positionbefore powering up the locomotive. Thewhistle is activated by using the lever or buttonon your transformer or CAB-1. The volume con-trol knob is located on the underside of the ten-der near the front truck (see page 9).

Please remove the protective cover from the battery clip before installing the battery.

Although RailSounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for uninterrupted operation and the shutdown sequence. Use only alkaline batteries.

Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the RailSoundsON/OFF switch position.

If RailSounds “drops out” during track power interruptions (during directionchanges, switches, crossings, etc), replace the battery.

Figure 4. Battery installation

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

before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticat-ed, authentic model railroad sound system inthe world. And remember—coming frominside your Lionel locomotive’s tender arethe authentic sounds of the RailSounds digi-tal sound system. No other electric train canoffer you authentic sounds. That’s thepower of Lionel.• Variable turbine sound. Your

locomotive’s speed determines the turbinesound pitch.

• MultiWhistle. Different whistles for dif-ferent speeds—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. Power

down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,and listen for the air-release sound—that’s the locomotive telling you itsCommand reverse unit has just reset toforward 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 shut-down sequence about two seconds afterthe air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your locomotive’s RailSounds system


Note! A 9-volt alkaline battery must beinstalled for shutdown sequence.

Notes on RailSounds

• Use the volume control knob, located on the underside of the tender, to adjustsound output. Refer to Figure 5.

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

• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installedensures continuous sounds, even duringshort track-power interruptions.

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

• For even more authentic RailSoundseffects, operate your locomotive in theTrainMaster Command environment. Seepages 11-12 for details.

Your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment

Lionel TrainMaster Command Control isthe fun and sophisticated model railroad

control system from Lionel. Your locomotivefeatures a Command reverse unit, which actsas both a conventional reverse unit as well asthe key to unlocking many extra featureswhen you operate in Command mode.

TrainMaster Command Control gives youthe power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track, at

the same time. It’s the most fun you canhave with electric trains, and it’s incrediblyeasy too! Just follow the directions below andyou’ll be on your way.

To operate in Command mode, youneed a Command Base and a CAB-1remote. Find them both at your authorizedLionel retailer.

Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-72 or larger track.• Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track.• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is plugged-in and its com-

munications wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel trans-former or the U terminal on any of your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (or amaximum of 20 volts). If you are using any PowerMaster units, slide theCMD/CONV switch to CMD on the units.

Address your 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 commands intodigital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in the form of adigital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionel locomotives listen to this digitalcommunication, but they do not respond until they hear their own ID number.

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command control—not trackpower—controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionel loco-motives. Track power is simply like gasoline in the tank of your car—it gives youthe power to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how fast to get there.All Command-equipped Lionel locomotives come factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” To change your locomotive ID#, see page 15.

Move ‘em out!• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your locomo-

tive will respond to your every command. Read on. The fun is just beginning!

Tuning your locomotive performance

MOMENTUMSimulate the labored performance of a

locomotive pulling a heavy load withmomentum. Press L, M, or H (located underCAB-1’s removable panel) for light, mediumor heavy momentum. The Command reverseunit remembers the setting until you changeit. For delayed response, use H. For quickresponse, choose L.

BOOSTING AND BRAKINGUse the BOOST and BRAKE command but-

tons for incremental control of speed and asuperior method for handling stops andstarts. Plus, using BRAKE in the Commandenvironment gives you a bonus RailSoundseffect—the ultra-realistic sound of squealingbrakes.

STALLMake your locomotive feel more responsive

by setting a “stall” voltage. Get your locomo-tive moving, then press SET; the locomotivewill stop. The headlight will flash, indicatingit’s in the SET mode. Turn the throttle clock-wise to get the locomotive moving, thendecrease speed until the locomotive juststops. Press SET again; the Command reverseunit remembers the stall setting until you

change it. To clear stall, press SET twice,holding it for one second each time.

HIGH VOLTAGE SETTINGPress ENG, the locomotive ID#, and then

SET; the locomotive’s headlight will flash. Getyour locomotive moving to the maximumspeed you want it to run, then press BOOST.Use this to keep your locomotive from acci-dentally being derailed at high speed.

To clear this setting, press ENG, the ID#, then immediately press BOOST.

SOUND QUALITYTo achieve your preferred RailSounds mas-

ter volume level, use the volume controlknob located on the bottom of the tender (see page 9). Turn the knob left or right to adjustthe volume to your liking.

For quick remote-control of volume belowthe master setting—like muting—use theCAB-1 numeric keypad’s volume control.Press AUX1 and 4 on the keypad to loweroverall RailSounds output.

Reprogramming the Command reverse unit to restore features

Due to the inevitable derailments, static,and the nature of electricity, it is possi-

ble that your Command reverse unit couldsomeday lose its setup program. The symp-toms of this condition would be unrespon-siveness in Command mode. This can be eas-ily remedied by “reprogramming” yourCommand reverse unit using the followingsteps.

STEP 1: Move switch on locomotive fromRUN to PROG.

STEP 2: Plug-in Command Base.

STEP 3: Place locomotive on track, thenturn on power to track.

STEP 4: Press “ENG,” then input locomo-tive’s ID#. Press “SET”.

STEP 5: Press “ENG,” then the ID#,“AUX1,” then press the number 74.

STEP 6: Turn off power to track and waitten seconds.

STEP 7: Remove locomotive from track,move switch from PROG to RUN.

STEP 8: Place locomotive back on track,turn power on to track.

STEP 9: Press “ENG” and ID#, then operateas normal.

Maintaining your locomotive’s handrail antenna

Y our locomotive handrails are more thanjust model grab irons—they’re the

Command reverse unit’s antenna for receiv-ing Command Base digital communications.Please handle the locomotive carefully toavoid handrail damage. To ensure opti-mum reception, both handrails are insulatedfrom the die-cast shell. If your locomotive

experiences difficulty receiving Base commu-nications, check the handrail ends in the caband pilot for the presence of insulating mate-rial. Ensure that each insulator is present andenjoys a proper fit. Finally, prevent thehandrails from touching any part of the die-cast locomotive cab.

H elp your Lionel locomotive lead a longand productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly. We recommend that you purchase a Lionel

Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (part no. 6-62927), available from your Lionel dealer.Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate (a small amount will do), and avoidgetting grease or oil on the locomotive wheels,contact rollers, or your track.

You’ll know your locomotive requireslubrication when visual inspection revealsdryness on the parts indicated in theillustration. Remove accumulated dirt anddust before lubricating, and always lubricateany locomotive emerging from prolongedstorage. Also, lightly lubricate the locomotiveside rods, drive rods, linkage, front and reartruck pivot points, and tender wheel bearingsafter each 25 hours of operation.

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 has provided extra traction tires toreplace the installed traction tires if theywear out. Simply unscrew the drive rod screw

from the wheel using the 3/16 nut driverincluded with your locomotive, slip off theold traction tire and remove it from underthe drive rod. Place the traction tire on thewheel and re-tighten the drive rod screw.You’re now ready to pull that long freightback to the yard.

Your S2 tender is illuminated by one lamp,located at the rear of the tender. Remove

the tender body by unscrewing the six screwslocated on the underside of the tender (seepage 9 for screw locations).

Carefully lift the tender body from theframe, taking care with the lamp wiringassembly which is still attached to the tenderbody. Grasp the leads and pull the lamp out ofthe center housing where it is held in place bya rubber grommet. Unplug the connector and

replace with Lionel part no. 620-8029-300. Alllamps are available from your AuthorizedLionel Service Center or direct from LionelService. See the Lionel Service section on page20 for more information.

Reassemble in reverse order. Whilereassembling the tender, make sure all wiresare inside the body before the screws aretightened.

The two red marker lights are LEDs (lightemitting diodes) and are not user serviceable.

Your locomotive is illuminated by fourlamps. One is located in the headlight

housing mounted on the boiler front. A lampilluminates the interior of the cab.Two redlights (one assembly) show through the ashpan grating and shine brighter when thespeed of the locomotive increases. During thecourse of normal operations, they mayrequire replacement.

Note: Removing the three screws as shownon page 17 will allow access to the inside of

the cab and the expired lamps. Due to thecomplexity of the disassembly required, youmay wish to take your locomotive to yourLionel Authorized Service Center for anylamp replacement.

Before changing the lamps in your locomotive, be sure to check that the AUX2 com-mand was not used to turn off the front headlight.

Note!

An ‘O’ gauge coupler (non-operating) isincluded with your locomotive for those

who may wish to “double-head” their trainswith a second S2 or another locomotive.Being careful not to damage the finish, turnthe locomotive over onto a soft surface.Loosen and remove the two screws holdingthe coupler mounting block with a Philipsscrewdriver (see Figure 8). Remove the cou-pler mounting block and the attached scalecoupler. Store in a safe place for possiblereassembly at a later date. Position the ‘O’gauge coupler mounting block and secure inplace to the locomotive’s frame with the twoscrews. Slide the new ‘O’ gauge coupler headinto position in the newly installed couplermounting block through the opening in thefront pilot. Secure the coupler in place with

the provided shoulder screw using a smallstraight blade screwdriver.

Adding fluid to your locomotive’s smoke generator

Your locomotive is equipped with a smokegenerator that produces safe, clean,

white smoke during operation.The smoke generator requires the periodic

addition of Lionel smoke fluid in order tofunction. A small tube of smoke fluid isincluded with this locomotive. Pierce thefluid tube’s end with a pin, then add 8 to 10drops of fluid directly into the smoke stacks.Smoke production will commence momen-tarily, faster if you run your locomotive atspeed. When smoke production wanes, addmore fluid (8 to 10 drops).

In Command Control, when the locomo-

tive is first placed on the track and poweredup, the smoke generator will be in a default“OFF” position. Using any function key onyour CAB-1 remote will turn the smoke gen-erator on. Turning off the sound (AUX1, 5)or resetting the locomotive (AUX1, 0) willreturn the smoke unit to the initial “OFF”position. Always keep a small amount ofsmoke fluid in the locomotive smoke genera-tor; the generator’s element can becomedamaged if operated without fluid. Smokeproduction is greater at higher voltages andwhen the locomotive is pulling a heavy loador long consist.

Note! Always keep smoke fluid in your locomotive smoke generator. If not, turn it off whensmoke is not desired using the switch shown on page 4 or the AUX1, 8 command ifyou are running in Command mode. Using Smoke Boost with depleted fluid candamage the generator’s element.
