experiencing the features of the Powermax Plus Transformer

r

efer to Figure 7 on page 12 for the location of the Transformer features listed in this 
section.

THROTTLE

Push the throttle forward to increase track power. The markings on the throttle approxi-

mate the percentage of full power. For more realism, push the throttle slowly to gradually 
increase or decrease the speed of the locomotive. Slowing or stopping the locomotive with the 
throttle instead of the DIRECTION button will allow you to continue in the same direction 
when you increase the throttle again. To achieve this effect, reduce the throttle to the point 
that the locomotive stops moving, don’t completely turn off the throttle. That way, your train 
won’t sequence into neutral.

POWER-ON INDICATOR

The green light will remain on during normal operation. The green light will begin to 

flash if you exceed the power limit of the Transformer. The unit will allow you to momentarily 
exceed the power limit, but power will be gradually reduced until the problem is corrected. 
This safety feature replaces the circuit breaker. The benefit is that the Transformer will not 
instantly turn off. 

DIRECTION

The DIRECTION control button interrupts track power to activate the reverse unit in loco-

motives with forward-neutral-reverse operation.

When the DIRECTION button is presssed, track power is interrupted instantaneously. 
Track power is restored gradually when the DIRECTION button is released.

WHISTLE/HORN

The WHISTLE/HORN button will activate Lionel sound-equipped locomotives, including 

those equipped with the RailSounds sound system. The sound will continue until the button is 
released. No external sound activation buttons are needed.

BELL

The BELL button will activate all RailSounds bells. Press the BELL button to begin the 

sounds; press the button again to turn off the ringing. 

Do not activate horns, whistles, or bells on RailSounds-equipped locomotives until 
track power has been turned on for a few moments, or a continuous horn/whistle or 
bell sound may occur. To correct this problem, simply turn off the PowerMax Plus 
Transformer, then turn it back on.

The PowerMax Plus Transformer may cause random whistles in the Lionel Mighty 
Sounds of Steam™ tenders with a three-pin connector. We recommend that you a 
purchase a RailSounds-equipped tender to solve this problem.

Your engine is not equipped with Bell sounds.
