72-8066-250 7/01 4-6-2 Pacific Steam Locomotive & Tender Owner’s Manual featuring and
Congratulations! ou own one of the finest and most sophisticated model trains ever built— the Lionel TrainMaster® Command and Odyssey™ System-equipped 4-6-2 Pacific. From its hand-applied scale details to the advanced technology found inside, your locomotive is ready for duty on your model railroad layout. Experience the superiority of today’s Lionel.
Transformer operations Running your locomotive with a Lionel transformer 1 Place your locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track. • With track power OFF, connect the drawbar between locomotive and tender. That’s all you have to do with Lionel’s new Wireless Tether®, an infrared communication system that eliminates the plugs and wires of the past. NOTE: Your locomotive is designed to operate on minimum 0-54 diameter track. 2 Note! 3 Power up your locomotive with your transformer.
Transformer operations Locking your locomotive into a single operational state o select a single operational state for your Lionel locomotive (example: forward only), you can deactivate the R2IR’s sequencing function with the Program/Run switch, located on the right hand side, under the locomotive’s cab. Get your locomotive moving in the desired direction, then slow it down without stopping. Set the Program/Run switch to PROG. The locomotive is now “locked” into your chosen direction.
Transformer operations Your locomotive’s Odyssey™ System speed control voltage to compensate for uphill grades, etc., but will prevent excessive voltage to the lamps and smoke unit. (In conventional mode, these operate at track voltage, and excessive voltage may lead to premature bulb burn-out.) • If you wish to change the speed control setting, you must deactivate the speed control, then reactivate at the new setting. To turn speed control off, get your locomotive into neutral for at least 5 seconds.
Transformer operations Using your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler in the non-Command environment o use your locomotive tender’s ElectroCoupler in the non-Command environment, you must first couple a piece of rolling stock equipped with Lionel magnetic couplers directly to your locomotive tender’s rear ElectroCoupler. The magnetic coupler on the rolling stock will then react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel remote-control track section (available separately).
Your locomotive’s RailSounds system—the basics ionel RailSounds is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the world. Your locomotive features digital samples from real-life steam locomotives for the ultimate in realism. Begin by installing a 9-volt alkaline battery in the tender. This ensures interruptionfree operation of RailSounds. The battery clip is located in the tender. To remove the tender body, refer to the diagram on page 8 for location of the four mounting screws.
Transformer operations Experiencing the range of your locomotive’s RailSounds system ith RailSounds, you experience the sounds of real railroading like never before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticated, authentic model railroad sound system in the world. And remember—coming from inside your Lionel locomotive’s tender are the authentic sounds of the RailSounds digital sound system. No other electric train can offer you authentic sounds. That’s the power of Lionel. • Variable chuff rate.
Transformer operations Installing the Lionel Sound Activation Button install the Lionel no. 610-5906-001 Sound Activation Button (available separately). Connect the button(s) as shown below. T o operate the bell and whistle sounds when operating your locomotive with conventional transformers, you’ll need to Existing wire Black wire Attach to ground terminal To your transformer Attach to power terminal Red wire Lionel no.
TrainMaster Command operations Your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command environment ionel TrainMaster Command is the fun and sophisticated model railroad control system from Lionel. Your locomotive features the R2IR reverse unit, which acts as both a conventional reverse unit as well as the key to unlocking many extra features when you operate in Command mode. TrainMaster Command gives you the power to operate multiple Command- equipped locomotives on the same track, at the same time.
TrainMaster Command operations Running your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command environment Example our Command-equipped locomotive comes factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” To get your locomotive into action, set PowerMasters to CMD or set all power supplies on full. Press ENG and “1” on CAB-1. Turn the throttle or press any command button; RailSounds starts up. Your locomotive is ready for Command operations.
TrainMaster Command operations RailSounds in the Command environment our locomotive’s RailSounds system gives you even more in the TrainMaster Command environment. • DynaChuff TM. Real steam locomotive chuffing depends on the locomotive’s load. DynaChuff simulates both labored and relaxed chuffing sounds. Highball down the mainline and hear the labored chuffing of a locomotive battling inertia.
TrainMaster Command operations Tuning your locomotive performance it. To clear stall, press SET twice, holding it for one second each time. HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING Press ENG, the locomotive ID#, then press SET; the headlight will flash. Get your locomotive moving to the maximum speed you want it to run, then press BOOST. Use this to keep your locomotive from accidentally being derailed at high speed. MOMENTUM Simulate the labored performance of a locomotive pulling a heavy load with momentum.
TrainMaster Command operations Assigning your locomotive a new ID# Example Assign a new ID# to your Command-equipped locomotive Set the locomotive PROGRAM/RUN Switch to PROGRAM (see illustration) Command Base ON Place the locomotive on track PowerMasters set to CMD or traditional power supplies ON FULL Turn track power on (PowerMasters): Press BOOST Program the locomotive with a new ID#: Press ENG Press a number you choose (the ID#) Press SET Set PROGRAM/RUN Switch to RUN (see page 4 for location) s your
TrainMaster Command operations Reprogramming R2IR circuit boards to restore features D ue to the inevitable derailments, static, and the nature of electricity, it is possible that your R2IR could someday lose its setup program. The symptoms of this condition would be unresponsiveness in Command mode. This can be easily remedied by “reprogramming” your R2IR using the following steps. STEP 1: Move switch on locomotive from RUN to PROGRAM. STEP 2: Plug-in Command Base.
Maintaining and servicing your Locomotive Lubricating your locomotive elp your Lionel locomotive lead a long You’ll know your locomotive requires and productive life on your railroad by lubrication when visual inspection reveals maintaining it properly. dryness on the parts indicated in the We recommend you purchase a Lionel illustration. Remove accumulated dirt and Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (part dust before lubricating, and always lubricate no.
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive Servicing your locomotive’s lamps Note! Before changing the lamps in your locomotive, be sure to check that the AUX2 command was not used to turn off the front headlight. our locomotive is illuminated by four lamps. One is located in the headlight housing mounted on the boiler front. A lamp illuminates the interior of the cab. Two red lights (1 assembly) show through the ash pan grating and shine brighter when the speed of the locomotive increases.
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive Tire-Traction™ our locomotive is equipped with TireTraction. This means that two of the drive wheels are fitted with rubber traction tires to enhance tractive effort so your locomotive can pull many cars at once. Lionel has provided extra traction tires to replace the installed traction tires if they wear out. Simply unscrew the drive rod nut from the wheel using a 3/16” nut driver, slip off the old traction tire and remove it from under the drive rod.
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive Installation of ‘O’ Gauge Coupler Head n ‘O’ gauge coupler (nonoperating) is included with your locomotive for those who may wish to “double-head” their trains with a second Pacific or other locomotive. Simply loosen the screw that holds the front coupler. With a small flat blade screw driver, replace the scale coupler head with the ‘O’ gauge coupler head and retighten the screw.
Limited Warranty/Lionel Service his Lionel product, including all mechanical and electrical components, moving parts, motors and structural components, except for light bulbs, is warranted to the original consumer-purchaser, for one year against original defects in materials or workmanship when purchased through an authorized Lionel dealer.
