Power up your locomotive with your transformer.

Your locomotive is designed to operate on 7-15 volts alternating cur-
rent.

 Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers 

are suitable.

Do not power your locomotive with direct-current (DC) transformers.  
The locomotive was designed for use with alternating-current (AC)  
transformers only.

Move ‘em out!

Get your locomotive moving.

 Your locomotive goes through a repeating pattern 

of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To sequence the reverse 
unit, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer, or briefly bring the throttle 
all the way back to the OFF position and then forward. Each press of the DIRECTION 
button or interruption in track power causes the locomotive to advance to the next 
operational state. 

Adjust track voltage

 until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.
