HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND OkERATE YOUR FIRST LIONEL OUTFIT Check Your Equipment By t h e time you read this you have probably already unpacked and examined your Lionel outfit. It's a good idea t o save the boxes and the corrugated board packing. They have been carefully designed to protect the equipment and will come in handy f o r storing or transporting y o u outfit. Check your equipment to see t h a t nothing is missing. A standard Lionel t r a i n outfit includes the following : Locomotive (either steam-type or diesel) Locomotive tender ( w i t h steam-type locomotives) 3 t o 5 cars (either freight or passenger) 8 sections of curved track 1 remote control track set 1 to 7 sections of straight track Eottle of Smoke Pellets (with smoke locomotives) Tube of Lionel lubricant 1 track lockon I n addition, all "027" outfits include a transformer which is packed with the necessary connecting mires. Examine t h e equipment to see that i t is in good condition. Spin all t h e car wheels to see t h a t they t u r n freely. P u t a very small dab of Lionel lubricant on t h e ends of the axles. If your locomotive is one of those where the motor can be seen from the side (see sketch on page 5 2 ) , you should lubricate t h e ends of t h e armature shaft before you run the locomotive. Your outfit may have been stored on t h e dealer's shelves f o r several months and the lubricant put on in the factory may have been absorbed by t h e wrapping paper. Those Lionel locomotives where the motor i s concealed have a large lubricant reservoir which is filled a t t h e factory and does not require any attention f o r a long time.

Push the pins of one track section tightly into the r a i l openings of the next section.

Join the Track Sections The track should f i t together tightly f o r good electrical contact. If the rail openings have been distorted o r enlarged either through long use or accident they should be reshaped by using Lionel Track Pliers, as described on page 35. One Remote Control Track Set, used f o r uncoupling and operating cars, is supplied with each outfit. As many additional sets as you like can be used in a layout. Remote Control Track sections a r e assembled like any ordinary straight section.

cars by raising the end of the car and engaging the couplers by hand. T r a i n can be assembled most easily on a straight portion of the track. After placing a locomotive or car on t h e track roll it back and forth to make sure t h a t all the wheels a r e properly set on the rails. If not, they may touch the center rail and cause a "short circuit" so t h a t t h e t r a i n won't run.
Short Circuits Most troubles in running an electric t r a i n a r e due t o short circuits caused by a derailed wheel touching the center rail. A "short circuit" is a condition where the electric current by-passes the motor or other device i t is supposed to operate and flows to the outside rail which is connected directly to the transformer. When a short circuit occurs the train stops, t h e lights dim or go out altogether; t h e transformer overheats and, if unprotected, will burn out. To protect them from overheating and damage due to short circuits most Lionel transformers a r e equipped with built-in circuit breakers. A few seconds a f t e r a short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker opens and cuts off t h e output of t h e transformer. After a short time t h e circuit breaker closes automatically but will reopen almost immediately if t h e short circuit still exists. Lionel transformers RW, KW and ZW a r e also equipped with red warning lights which flash on whenever a circuit breaker operates.
A derailed car truck. If trouble persists remove all cars and locomotive from the track. Then look for:
Nails, screws, tinsel, etc. across the track. Sometimes a "magnetraction" locomotive will pick up a small iron object and hold it t o the track from underneath. Long wire ends connected t o the two lockon clips touching each other.
A bare wire touching two binding posts o f a transformer or an accessory piece of equipment.
Broken or displaced insulation between center rail and track tie. This may sometimes be difficult t o find. If necessary check each track section separately.

HOW TQ OPERATE THE TRAIN Regulating Train Speed The speed of’ the train is regulated by moving the voltage control on the transformer panel. The higher the voltage the greater the speed. Most Lionel transformers provide a t least two different variable voltage ranges. The lower range is for light t r a i n s ; the higher range for heavier trains. Reversing +he locomotive Lionel locomotives can be stopped and reversed by reniofe cont7.d. The reversing mechanism, known a s the E-Unit, is inside the locomotive. I t is operated by momentary interruptions of current t o the locomotive. This can be done by operating the “Direction” control on the transformer or by turning t h e voltage control t o “Off”. (Accidental “shorting” of the track, loohe connecting wires, missing track pins or dirty track will also cause E-Unit to operate.) The E-Unit has three positions which operate in sequence: Forward, Stop. Eeverse, Stop, etc. The Stop 01- Neutral position is necessary t o halt the V h e u t i i c locomo control O S C E t o stop, and T HQW+o Disconnect the Reversing Mechanism The E-Unit can be disconnected by moving the %Unit, lever t o its OFF position. With t h i s mechanism disconnected the locomotive will not reverse its direction a f t e r beins stopped, but will resume running in the same direction. The E-Unit should he disconnected when you have a n automatic station, a n operating bridge o r insulated track blocks. T o d i s c o m c c t E-Uwit : 1. S t a r t the locomotive going in the desired direction. 2. Stop i t with your hand oi- by turning off track power. (Do not operate the “Direction” control.) 3. Move the E-Unit lever to OFF.
N o f e : If the E-Unit is disconnected while i t is in Neutral position, the locomotive will not run at all. Also, because i t is operated partly by gravity the E-Unit will not work urouerlv if the locomotive i s held on i t s side 01- upside down.
Location ~f E-Unit Lever In most steam-type locomotives E-Unit lever i s on t o p of the boiler, back of the smoke stack or behind the sand dome. In 1953 the one exception i s Locomotive No. 1130 where the lever i s on the bottom, under the cab.

Sounding the Whistle or Horn Following actual railroading practice most Lionel steamtype trains a r e equipped with a two-tone whistle. The diesel types contain a warning horn. The whistle mechanism is mounted in t h e locomotive tender. Both the whistle and the horn can be sounded anywhere on the track by operating t h e whistle controller built into most modern Lionel transformers. If your transformer does not have a built-in whistle controller, a separate No. 167 Whistle Controller must be used. (See page 37) N o t e : Lionel remote control horn and whistle can be used only with alternating cuwent having a frequency of more than 40 cycles. When line frequency is less than 40 cycles (some p a r t s of Canada and some communities in the United States use 25-cycle power lines) the whistle and horn wi!l sound continuously and should therefore be disconnected. Operation of the Horn The power f o r operating the whistle i s supplied by the track, but the warning horns use a flashlight cell supplied with the locomotive. When i t is worn out i t can be replaced by any standard size D flashlight cell. You can use any good nationally-advertised dry cell but dry cells of t h e “leakproof” type a r e best. I
The horn will sound whenever t h e car containing it is tilted o r held upside down because in these positions t h e relay will close through i t s own weight. F o r this reason take out t h e flashlight cell whenever the locomotive is t o be transported. To prevent possible damage due to leakage t h e cell should also be removed when the locomotive i s stored away, particularly if the storage place i s damp or unheated. “Magne-Traction”* Locomotives “Magne-Traction” is a Lionel patented development whereby magnetic force i s supplied to the locomotive wheels by means of a powerful A41nicomagnet, to enable t h e locomotive to climb steep grades and to pull heavy loads without slipping on t h e track. E e careful not to let pins, paper clips, carpet tacks or other loose small iron objects come in contact with t h e wheels, gears or axles because they may jam up t h e locomotive mechanism. To obtain the benefit of “Magne-Traction” use only steel rails. Magnetism is not effective on aluminum o r brass rails. N o t e : In 1953 all Lionel locomotives with t h e exception of Nos. 1130 and 2026 a r e equipped with “Magne-Traction”. * Registered

Coupling and Uncoupling All standard Lionel cars and tenders a r e equipped with remote control operating knuckle couplers. Open couplers a r e closed mechanically, simply by pushing two mating couplers together until their knuckles close and latch. This operation can be done along any s t r a i g h t portion of track provided t h a t a t least one of the mating couplers is open. Closed couplers a r e opened on a Remote Control Track. I Two types of couplers a r e used by Lionel: “magnetic” and “electro-magnetic”. Most 1953 cars have “magnetic” couplers, illustrated below. To open a “magnetic” coupler move t h e car to the Remote Control Section so t h a t t h e truck you wish opened is over t h e central electro-magnet. Then push t h e “Uncouple” button. SMOKE PELLETS Diesel locomotives and some of t h e longer cars a r e equipped with “electro-magnetic” couplers. To open these move t h e car or locomotive to t h e Remote Control Section I so t h a t the sliding shoe connected to t h e coupler rides up on t h e control rail. Then push t h e “Uncouple” button. Use only Lionel SP Smoke Pellets. Any other material N o t e : Previously made RCS and No. 1019 Remote Conmay damage the heating element in the smoke generator. trol Sections have no central electro-magnet and will not For best results use up one pellet before dropping in open “magnetic” couplers.
Lionel “Smoke” Locomotives Most Lionel steam-type locomotives a r e equipped with a smoke generator which produces odorless, realistic “smoke”. Drop a smoke pellet into the locomotive stack and t u r n on t h e track power. In a few seconds the heater in t h e smoke generator melts t h e pellet and smoke rises from the stack. The locomotive will puff only when the wheels a r e turning. I

How to Take Care of Smoke Locomotives A f t e r t h e locomotive has been used f o r a while it may produce less smoke than i t did a t first. This may be caused by smoke material clogging up the stack, or the small a i r opening inside the generator. Clean out t h e stack, increase t h e track power slightly and let the locomotive stand in neutral f o r a few minutes. This treatment will melt t h e smoke material. Then lift the locomotive slightly to allow the wheels t o t u r n rapidly. After a few minutes t h e locomotive will puff as well a s ever.

AUTOMATIC OPERATING CARS Many Lionel t r a i n outfits contain automatic cars which a r e unloaded or otherwise operated by means of the remote control track. C a r Using Contact Sliders The mechanism of most unloading cars, such a s t h e Milk Car and the Coal and Lumber Dump Cars, is powered by a n electrical coil, or solenoid, which gets current from t h e track through t h e two sliding contact shoes on t h e bottom of t h e car. To operate such cars position them on t h e remote control section so t h a t both contact shoes rest on t h e control rails. Then push the “UNLOAD” button. N o t e : No. 6009 uncoupling section supplied with Lionel t r a i n outfits Nos. 1500 and 1501s will not unload cars of this type.

MODEL RAILROAD ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT Lionel model railroad accessory equipment depends on t h e transformer f o r i t s operating power and works on voltages ranging from 10 to 14 volts. The higher portion of this range is frequently required when the working parts on an accessory a r e new, but the voltage can usually be decreased as t h e mechanism becomes worn in. If a n accessory is operated continuously f o r a long period of time, however, i t s operating voltage rises as i t s coil o r motor warm up in use. As explained in the section on “Power Supply” the actual voltages supplied by t h e transformer posts under operating conditions may differ considerably from the “nominal” voltages marked on the transformer panel. F o r this reason i t is not always practical to give a hard and f a s t rule f o r connecting a piece of equipment to a particular pair of transformer terminals. The best practice i s to connect i t to a pair of transformer binding posts which furnish approximately t h e required voltage, as indicated in most wiring diagrams. Then, if the accessory does not operate with enough snap, shift the connections to the next higher available voltage.
It is good practice to run any Lionel operating or illuminated accessory at the lowest possible voltage. In this way you will prevent unnecessary wear of equipment and prolong the life of the lamps. A summary table listing t h e actual operating voltages required by various Lionel accessories is found on t h e right.

ILLUMINATED NON-OPERATING EQUIPMENT A wide variety of Lionel illuminated accessories, such a s lamp posts, station platforms, floodlights, beacons, and other realistic pieces of model railroad equipment, is available. The voltage required by various illuminated accessories depends upon the lamps used. With few exceptions it is generally 12-14 volts. Illuminated accessories should be connected directly to the transformer whenever possible. Select the pair of binding posts which give nearest to the required voltage.
CAUTION When illuminated accessories are connected t o binding posts whose voltage i s not "fixed" but i s set by dials, such as in transformers VW or ZW, take care not t o set the voltage too high or the lamps will be quickly burned out. As a rule the life of the lamps will be greatly extended if they are operated a little below their rated voltage.

No. 394 Rotating Beacon Electrical connection t o the Rotating Beacon a r e made by inserting bare ends of connecting wires into the clips on the bottom of the beacon. After electrical connections a r e made and power is on, lower the rotating lens housing carefully over the beacon lamp so t h a t the pivot rests in the small cup on top of the lamp. After a minute or two the lamp will heat the a i r inside t h e housing. This a i r streaming through the vanes on top of the housing will cause i t to t u r n slowly.

PARALLEL CONNECTIONS In the event you have several illuminated accessories requiring the same voltage i t is advisable to use the same pair of transformer binding posts f o r all of them, wiring them together in “parallel”, as shown below. Two main feeders go to the transformer posts and individual mires go from these feeders to t h e accessories. I n this way unnecess a r y wiring is eliminated. If your outfit is mounted on a table or platform t h e main feeders can be stapled to the under side of t h e table and small holes drilled next to each accessorv f o r the wires leadinp to t h e accessorv. No. 71
The feeders can be made from ordinary lamp cord o r thiil metal strips. I n permanent layouts the wire connections a r e frequently soldered together. Most operating accessories can also be wired in thih manner with the various switches and controllers inserted in one of the connecting wires, as shown. Remember t h a t if two or more 14-volt accessories are wired together in “parallel”, they must still be connecter! to t h e 14-volt posts on t h e transformer and not t o posh which give the total of the individual voltages required.

AUTOMATIC SIGNALING Model railroad signals and trackside accessories made by Lionel a r e usually operated automatically by means of "contactors" actuated by a passing train. Contactors 145C and 153C a r e worked mechanically by t h e weight of the train. Others a r e operated electrically by t h e t r a i n wheels making an electrical contact with t h e contactor surface and in this way completing the electrical circuit.
Pwssure-type contactors are placed underneath the track so that a track tie rests firmly o n top of the contactor. If t h e track is fastened to a platform make s u r e t h e track is loose f o r several sections on either side of the contactor because the track must be f r e e t o bend under t h e weight of t h e train.
An adjustment n u t is provided to regulate the weight required to operate the contactor. This is done a f t e r all wire connections a r e made and transformer power is on.

Other Uses of Non-Derailing Mechanism The automatic non-derailing mechanism of No. 022 switches can be used for Several interesting applications. One of them is shotvn below. If the outside posts of the swi,tches a r e connected by wires the t r a i n will alternate automatically between tracks “A” and “B”. The operation is this: Train leaving track “A” operates the non-derailing mechanism in the “Exit” switch and at t h e same time throws the “Entry” switch to position which allows the train to enter track “B”. Leaving track “B” the t r a i n again throws both switches, but this time in the opposite direction, so t h a t it returns t o track “A”.

MULTIPLE TRAIN OPERATION If you wish t o operate two or more t r a i n s on t h e same railroad system, your layout should be designed to prevent one t r a i n from overtaking and running into t h e train ahead. One Loop with Insulated Blocks The f i r s t method explained here requires only one track loop in which one or more insulated track blocks a r e constructed and connected to the transformer through 153C contactors. The contactor is installed several sections away f r o m t h e insulated block so t h a t the f i r s t t r a i n passing over the contactor automatically cuts out the power from t h e insulated block behind i t and forces t h e following t r a i n to come to a stop until t h e f i r s t t r a i n is safely out of t h e way. To add interest to this operation a 153 Block Signal r 151 Semaphore can be connected to t h e 153C Contactor 3 indicate whether t h e block is “live” or “dead”. INSULATED BLOCK

N o t e : When two t r a i n s a r e operated in this way their reversing “E-Units” should be disconnected so t h a t t h e locomotives cannot reverse automatically. An insulated block is made by taking out t h e metal track pins from the center rail of both end sections of t h e block and replacing them by insulating fibre pins. The block should be at least 3 track sections long so t h a t t h e t r a i n does not coast through a “dead” block. The contactor should be placed f a r enough ahead of the block ( 3 or 4 sections) so t h a t it is not activated by t h e weight of t h e waiting train. In an average-size layout where only one or two blocks a r e used i t is advisable to set the block voltage 2 or 3 volts higher than the rest of t h e track, so t h a t t h e waiting t r a i n can get a f a s t start. This i s done by using two different transformer circuits having a common “ground” post connected to the outside rail of t h e rail system. 4 OR 5 SECTIONS

I n the oval layout above, the insulated block is normally “live” so t h a t both trains operate continuously unless the second t r a i n gets too close to t h e f i r s t train. When this happens t h e second train stops in the block until the f i r s t t r a i n pulls f a r enough ahead. The Block Signal indication is normally green. In “figure 8” layout on the right the insulated block is wired t o the contactor so t h a t i t is normally “dead”. This forces t h e t r a i n reaching t h e block in front of the crossing to stop and wait until the other train crosses in f r o n t of it.

Separate Insulated Loops A second method f o r running several trains on t h e same railroad system i s to arrange two o r more complete loops insulated from each other by means of a fibre pin in t h e center rail of t h e track line connecting the two loops. I n this system the center rail of each loop is connected to a n individually controlled track voltage so that each of t h e trains can be controlled without interfering with t h e others. An “0”layout of this type, designed to f i t on a 4’ by 8’ platform and suitable f o r operating as many as three trains, is illustrated below. Note t h a t in addition t o t h e two insulated loops this layout contains two insulated blocks, one located in the connecting track on the right, and one in the right hand portion of the inner loop.

The block in t h e connecting track can be used as a siding to hold a t r a i n while two other trains run in t h e inner and outer loops. The block in the inner loop is used to hold a train while another t r a i n enters into t h e left half of that loop. The power to the two insulated blocks is controlled by a pair of No. 364C controllers o r any Off-and-On switches which a r e available in hardware o r electrical supply stores. If desired, the insulated block in the inner loop can be connected f o r automatic control through a 153C contactor as described in previous section and another similar automatic control block added in the outer section as well, to permit collision-free operation of two trains in either loop. A double-throw switch may be provided t o switch from manual to automatic operation.

WORKING WITH LIONEL TRACK Lionel track is made in two different sizes: “0” and t h e lighter “027”. The auickest way to tell the difference between them is by the shape of” the track ties. Although the track “gauge”-the distance between the outside rails-is the same f o r both types of track-l1/4 inches-“0” and “027” track should not be used in t h e same layout because inch difference in t h e height of t h e track and the of a difference in t h e diameter of t h e rails. Wide-radius “072” curved track, illustrated below, matches the regular “0” track. Although it has not been made recently it may still be available at local Lionel dealers and i s very useful f o r constructing wide, sweeping curves especially suitable f o r the longer locomotives and streamlined pullman cars.

I n addition t o t h e regular 1 length “0”track Lionel makes half-sections, known as %OS (straight) and 1/2OC (curved) which a r e useful f o r many types of lavouts. If the halfsections a r e not available, or if you need special lengths. i t i s possible to cut the regula;. track t o the desired lengths. Clamp a track section in a vise using padding to protect the rails from being crushed and cut t h e rails with a jeweler’s saw o r a fine-toothed hack saw. Smooth the cut edge with a fine file. Lionel track is somewhat flexible so t h a t i t is possible to construct layouts which a r e not strictly symmetrical. However, be careful not to distort the layouts too much o r yon may cause the t r a i n to derail. How f o Mom+ Track on a Platform If you mount your track on a plywood board or platform your t r a i n operation will be smoother and your track will last longer. F o r fastening track t o platform use one No. 3 x %’’ round head wood screw to each section. Mounti n g holes a r e provided in track ties. Don’t screw down t h e track tightly o r you may distort t h e track ties causing a “wavy” track. Track should not be clamped down but fastened only enough to keep i t from shifting its position. A sheet of “Celotex” o r similar material may be placed on top of t h e plywood to sound-proof t h e layout. ”Clean and Lubricate Your Equipment”

Lionel Track Pliers When working with Lionel track i t is frequently necessary to remove track pins in order to move them to t h e opposite end of the rails, t o replace steel pins with insulating pins, and to reshape distorted o r enlarged rail openings. All these jobs, including cutting and stripping of connecting wires, can be accomplished quickly and easily with special Lionel service Track Pliers recently designed by Lionel f o r their service men and now made available by mail to all model railroaders for $2.95. The pliers a r e made in two sizes: No. ST-342 i s f o r “027” track, No. ST-343 f o r “0” track. Top pict u r e shows how the plier jaws a r e shaped to round the rail and to crimp pins tightly in the rails. To pull out track pins grip the pin with the cutting edge and pry i t out, using the rail flange a s point of rotation. To reshape a distored rail insert i t into the forming hole of the pliers and squeeze i t into shape. Doing this before the pin is inserted will result in a tighter-fitting pin. To crimp a pin in the rail, insert t h e pin to the proper dept, line up t h e little projections in t h e plier jews with the groove in t h e pin a n d squeeze.
Insulated Track Sections Special track sections which have one insulated outside rail a r e frequently used by model railroaders in permanent layouts instead of 145C and 153C contractors to accomplish automatic operation of semaphores, block signals, gatemen and other track accessories. Several applications of these track sections a r e illustrated on pages 34 and 49. Although these sections have not been manufactured recently they a r e still available at many Lionel dealers o r can be easily made from regular track, as illustrated below. Remove one outside rail, insert pieces of adhesive tape inside the clips of t h e track tie and replace the rail, bending down t h e track tie clips tightly. To complete t h e insulation of this rail fibre pins a r e inserted in both ends of the rail. Connections to i t can easily be made by means of a track lockon attached on t h e side of t h e insulntd. rail. No. 2 lockon clip will then be connected to the insulated rail.

SPECIAL INSTALLATIONS AND CONTROLS Fixed Voltage for Remote Control Sections Although in standard installations t h e control rails and electro-magnet of remote control sections get their power from the track i t is sometimes desirable to provide them with xed voltage. This makes the uncoupling and unloadi n g functions independent of variable track voltage. Disconnect the power wire from the remote control track and connect i t instead directly to the proper transformer post. In working with the flat multi-conductor cable be careful to keep i t flat so as not to interchange t h e connections. To shorten the wiring, particularly when the controllers a r e located together on one control board, the number 1 wire of t h e cable can be disconnected from t h e remote control track and connected instead to the ‘‘ground’’ terminal of the transformer.

When No. 167 controller is used, one of i t s posts must be connected to the No. 2 clip of the track lockon while the other is connected to t h e proper transformer post. Type ZW transformers have two built-in whistle controllers so that the whistles of two t r a i n s can be controlled independently. If you a r e running more t h a n two t r a i n s and wish to provide independent whistle control f o r t h e extra trains as well you must provide No. 167 Whistle Controllers f o r the two circuits (posts B and C) which do not have built-in whistle controllers. Because of voltage drop in t h e 167 Controllers the voltage setting of these circuits must be 2-3 volts higher t h a n ordinarily. Page 37

ABOUT YOUR POWER SUPPLY A few words about electricity may help you understand some of the electrical terms which a r e used in describing the operation and requirements of your Lionel electric trains, transformers and other equipment. The three most commonly used electric units of measurement a r e amperes, volts and watts. Amperes a r e used to measure t h e quantity of electric current flowing through a circuit. Volts a r e used to measure electric pressure. Watts a r e used to measure electric power. F o r the purposes of rough estimates in alternating current circuits they can be calculated by multiplying amperes by volts. If you compare the flow of electricity to the flow of water from a squirt gun you can see t h a t t h e more pressure you put on by squeezing the trigger the faster will be the water jet, and the more water you will be able to get out of the muzzle opening. In the same way increasing the voltage will send more electric current through t h e wires and the motor. With the pressure or voltage kept even, t h e amount of currenteither water or electric-that will flow through the system naturally depends on the size of t h e opening, o r the thickness of the wires used in the circuit. Alternating and Direct Current Two terms t h a t a r e used very often to describe electric current a r e Alternating Current ( A.C.) and Direct Current (D.C.). Direct current is the kind t h a t flows in one direction only-from Positive (+) to Negative (-). This i s t h e kind you obtain from electric batteries. Alternating current is produced by electric generators and changes the direction of i t s flow many times a second according to its frequency (CYCLES). This i s t h e usual type of current used in your house mains. The house electric supply generally used in the United States is 115-volt, 60-cycle alternating current. Some p a r t s of California use 50-cycle
current; some areas in Canada and upper New York S t a t e use 25-cycle current; while some downtown areas in New York City still use 115-volt Direct Current (D.C.) .
A transformer should never be plugged into a Direct Current line or it will either burn out itself or blow out the fuse.
High voltage Direct Current requires t h e use of a n inverter, which changes direct current into alternating current. The inverter is f i r s t plugged into the wall outlet: the transformer is then plugged into the inverter. Lionel has not made inverters since the war, but they a r e readily available elsewhere. What a Transformer Does Because 115-volt line voltage is dangerous to use in toys, Lionel Trains a r e made to run on low, completely safe voltage ranging from 8 volts to 25 volts, depending on t h e type and size of the locomotive. This low voltage must be obtained from a step-down transformer which changes your household voltage to the low safe voltage. The transformer basically consists of two coils of insulated copper wire, each separated f r o m t h e other but wound around a common core of electrical steel. One of the coilsthe primary-is wound with many t u r n s of fine wire and is connected to the household electric outlet. The other coil--the secondary-is wound with fewer t u r n s (approximately 1/5) of heavier wire. When the primary coil is plugged into a n A.C. household line, the alternations of the primary voltage a r e reflected in the secondary coil and induce a low secondary coil voltage used to run the t r a i n and accessories. Because the secondary voltage i s reduced from t h e primary in the same ratio t h a t t h e number of t u r n s in t h e secondary winding has to the t u r n s in the primary winding, a provision is usually made to “tap” the secondary winding at several points so that several different “fixed” voltages can be obtained. “Clean and Lubricate Your Eguipment”
Page 30

I n addition, Lionel transformers have a movable contact a r m which slides across the bared surface of a portion of the secondary winding. This makes i t possible to “tap” the secondary winding at any t u r n of wire and provides the means for obtaining a smoothly variable voltage used for accurate control of t r a i n speed without the use of resistors, rheostats or other voltage-dropping devices.
W h a t Causes Voltage Drop The “fixed” voltages marked on your t r a m f o r m e r panel o r the voltages indicated by your transformer voltage control at any particular setting a r e almost never the actual voltages delivered to your track o r your accessories. The reasons f o r this variation a r e several. The voltages marked on your transformers a r e “nominal”. That is, they a r e accurate only under certain specified conditions : when the line voltage fed into a 115-volt transformer i s just 115 volts and when n o current is drawn from the transformer. Actually, the line voltages may vary from 125 to 110 volts, or even lower, depending on the standards in your locality and on how much electricity is being used at a particular time. This variation, normally, results in the same percentage reduction of the output voltage of the transformer. If your train seems to run slower toward t h e evening it’s probably because hundreds of people in your neighborhood had switched on their lights and household appliances and so depressed t h e line voltage. I n t h e same way t h a t a heavy demand f o r power may lower t h e voltage in your neighborhood, a heavy load on your transformer lowers i t s output voltage as well. F o r example, t h e fixed binding posts which a r e marked 14 volts may, under actual operating conditions, deliver only 12 volts, o r even less. In the case of a severe overload such a s caused by a short circuit on t h e track so much current i s drawn from t h e transformer t h a t i t s voltage drops to 2 o r 3 volts-too low to operate the t r a i n or even light the lamps.
PI ~
Using Auxiliary Lockons In operating large layouts i t is frequently found t h a t t h e train slows down when running on the portion of track farthest from t h e Lockon. This is due t o voltage losses in the track itself and can be remedied by attaching additional Lockons at the points on the track where t h e t r a i n slows down. Be careful to connect t h e No. 1 and No. 2 clips of t h e auxiliary Lockons to similarly numbered clips of the Lockon connected to the transformer to avoid a short circuit. The main p a r t of voltage losses in t h e track is due t o loose track pins. These loose connections can be frequently detected by t h e heating effect of poor electrical contacts. After the layout has been in operation f o r a half hour o r so, run your finger down the rails. Loose rail joints will then become apparent as hot spots on t h e track. In large permanent model railroads short copper wire “jumpers” a r e frequently soldered across t h e track pins t o eliminate all possible track voltage losses and keep t h e voltage constant all around t h e track system.

Circuits with Common Ground I n model railroading there a r e numerous occasions when it is desirable to apply different voltages to accessories o r track components which have a common “ground” with the rails of the track system. Examples of this usage a r e fixed voltage plugs of No. 022 switches, remote control track sections operating on fixed voltage, insulated track blocks used in multiple t r a i n operation, upgrade o r downgrade portions of track requiring higher or lower voltage than level track, No. 456 Coal Ramp, etc. To prevent short circuit condition in all such cases i t i s important to select transformer circuits which also have a common ground. The chart below lists various circuit combinations which a r e available in modern Lionel transformers. The voltages specified a r e the nominal or “no load” voltages and will, of course, drop somewhat under operating conditions, depending on the load and the rated wattage of the transformer.

Transformer Rating
Power Requirements of Lionel Equipment
Regular Lionel transformers a r e designed to work on 110 to 125 volt, 60-cycle alternating current. Other combinations of voltage and frequency (cycles) require special transformers, which a r e generally available from Lionel dealers located in areas having these special conditions. The voltage and frequency ratings of transformers always appear on the transformer panels. Transformers can be operated on frequencies which a r e higher than their rated frequencies ( a 25-cycle transformer will operate on 60 cycles, f o r example), but t h e reverse of this is not true. If a 60-cycle transformer is plugged into a 50-cycle or a 25-cycle line i t will overheat and may be seriously damaged.
About W a t t a g e In addition to their voltage and frequency ratings, transformers and other electrical equipment also bear a wattage rating. The wattage of a toy transformer is a measure of t h e maximum amount of electric power which i t can take from the household power lines without overheating. The thing to remember is t h i s : You have no control over the voltage and frequency rating of t h e transformer you need because t h a t is determined by the available household current supply. You do have control over t h e wattage rating of the transformer you select. In this selection you must be guided by the size of your railroad system and t h e number of trains, lights and accessories you will use.
I t is always wisest t o get a transformer larger thax the one you require f o r your immediate needs in order to provide pouier f o r f71 fure expansion.
The following table lists the power in watts used by various model railroad equipment. Item
Watts

Each 12-Volt Lamp (large) .................................... Each 18-Volt Lamp .............................................................. N o t e : The voltage of various lamps in Lionel equipment is listed on the inside of the back cover.
You do not need to figure in t h e power requirements of automatic couplers and Operating Cars, since the couplers draw current f o r only an instant and Operating Cars only when the t r a i n i s not running. F o r t h e same reason, do not add power used by such accessories as the Coal Elevators, Log Loaders, and other operating devices which a r e p u t in action when the t r a i n i s not running. However, accessory lights and equipment containing steadily-burning lamps (as, f o r example, switches and switch controllers) use more power and should be added into the power needs. Don’t forget to add in the power used by lamps within t h e cars, particularly in passenger sets. If, f o r example, the total power needs of a t r a i n set and accessories come to 90 watts, a type RW Transformer (110 Watts) may be used. However, this power would be close to the maximum f o r the RW and would not allow f o r additional accessories. While another transformer can be purchased solely f o r operating the accessories, i t i s more economical in t h e long run to get a 275-watt ZW transformer initially.

H o w to Estimate Available Power As stated before, the wattage rating of a transformer tells you how much power i t will take from your household mains. However, all of this power is not available f o r your train. From about one-quarter to one-eighth of the total wattage taken from the lines is used up by the transformer itself in transforming the power from high to low voltage. This wattage loss becomes apparent in the warming up of t h e transformer as i t is used. A transformer operating continuously f o r long periods of time or in warm surroundings will be able to deliver less power than one used intermittently or in cool surroundings. As t h e transformer warms u p in use its output voltage and wattage will drop gradually. As a n example, a 90-watt No. 1033 Transformer should not be used to deliver more than 60 watts of usable lowvoltage power. A 275-watt Z W transformer should not be counted on to supply more than 200 watts. I t is important to take this loss into consideration when estimating the amount of equipment your transformer can operate. Table for Selection of Transformers Transformer

Any “0” outfit with a considcrable nurnbcr of accessories. Two “0”outfits with smoke, whistle, switchrs and other accessories. Any practical railroad system with two or more trains, etc.
How t o Connect Transformers in “Parallel” When the power requirements of a model railroad a r e so large t h a t more than one transformer is needed, t h e best practice is to use one transformer to furnish variable voltage f o r the track and reserve other transformer f o r lights and accessories. I n some cases, however, when several trains a r e operated at the same time in various insulated sections of system, i t might be necessary to use more than one transformer f o r the track itself. To connect two transformers to the track they must be properly “phased” so t h a t t h e high and low peaks of their alternations coincide. If they do not a short circuit will be created whenever locomotive contact rollers bridge across a fibre pin separating two insulated portions of track. To “phase” two transformers proceed as follows : Connect the “U” binding post from each transformer to the No. 1 clip of a lockon attached to a piece of track. Set the output voltages of the two transformers at the same point and plug t h e transformer cords into a wall outlet. Then touch together a pair of wires leading from the “A” binding posts. If you get a strong spark indicating a short circuit reverse the p l u g of one of the transformers. Once you have determined the correct position of the two plugs mark them in some way so t h a t you will be able to connect them correctly in the f u t u r e o r connect the two transformer cords permanently by wiring them to the same plug. When the transformers a r e in phase their ground o r common posts can be connected to the outside ground rail, and the available voltage circuits used to supply several different voltages required by the various insulated portions of the center power rail. Even when t h e transformers a r e in phase, however, you must be careful to set the voltage of the two adjacent sections at approximately t h e same point when transferring a locomotive slowly from one circuit to the other. Otherwise i t s rollers may bridge the insulating pin long enough so that t h e partial short created at t h a t moment will stop the locomotive. “Clean and Lubricate Your Equipment”

When you plan your f i r s t track layout, be s u r e t o allow f o r f u t u r e growth of your rail system. As you add to your rolling stock you will want more sidings, classification and storage yards, reversing loops, f r e i g h t and passenger terminals, industrial installations. The simple siding in today’s layout may tomorrow become a complete new branch of your railroad empire. The sketches above show a step-bystep transformation from a simple oval to a king-size railroad system. Elevate Your Layout The ideal location f o r a permanent layout is on a large table or specially built “run-around” wall shelving. Floor layouts risk t h e perils of stepped-on track, they a r e awkward to get a t and a problem when the floor needs cleaning. Favorite spots f o r waist-level t r a i n setups a r e d r y cellars, attics, spare rooms and garages. The diagrams below illust r a t e simple methods of building wall shelving or tables. Platforms can be cheaply constructed of old lumber or second-hand plywood. Plywood has definite advantages in t h a t i t requires little cutting or f i t t i n g and simplifies Page

drilling of holes f o r hidden wiring. A sheet of celotex over the plywood will help sound-proof your layout. If you construct a table arrangement be sure t h a t t h e legs a r e weli cross-braced. Wall shelving, too, should be sturdily built to prevent sway and unsteadiness. One of the principal reasons f o r t h e shelf or table layout is to bring model train operation to a realistic-view angle. Although there is some dispute a s to the correct height from the floor, the general agreement is t h a t 40 inches is about right f o r adults, a height of about 26 inches f o r the seven or eight-year-olds. F o r a father-and-son layout build a six-inch step to take care of the junior partner.

Building Grades To take full advantage of Lionel’s “Magne-Traction” locomotives and to provide f o r excitement of overpassing t r a i n s you will undoubtedly want to have some graded mountain sections in your layout. Keep the grades a s gradual a s possible-%” rise per section of track is a s steep as you should go-and be sure they a r e anchored securely so t h a t train vibration will not loosen them.
Realism with Scenery “Scenery brings it to life.” Yes, landscaping is one of t h e most important parts of building a model pike. General planning of i t should take place a t the same time you’re figuring out your railway system, and some of t h e actual work must be done before you lay a single section of track. Mountainous areas, rivers, valleys should be in place before track laying is done, so t h a t working on them will not disturb your roadbed. Location of towns will depend on placing of your industrial siding and passenger stations. Keep in mind t h a t you a r e developing a n entire community and countryside. Everything you place in i t should have a reason f o r being where i t is. Sketches on these pages show the steps in landscaping a simple layout.

F o r fields, lawns, etc., brush with green paint and, while still wet, sprinkle with Lionel No. 919 Artificial Grass. F o r d i r t patches, scatter with yellow sand and gravel. Coffee grounds can also be used to simulate cultivated fields. Highways and roads should also be painted, then sprinkled with fine beach sand. For country roads, score lightly to indicate ruts. Buildings such as houses, factories, churches can be constructed from plans furnished by model magazines, o r from kits available at hobby shops.

FOUR INTERESTING LAYOUTS Here a r e four intriguing layouts t h a t you can shoot f o r when you start planning your railway system. The model railroads on this page a r e good examples of how you can begin with simple loops and gradually expand with the addition of switches and sidings. Any one of these layouts. when finished, can handle several trains, and all a r e planned f o r both passenger and freight service. These drawings give you a n idea of the number of track sections, switches, and remote control sections needed. YOTI will note t h a t some layouts call f o r the use of half-track o r odd lengths. “0”half-sections a r e available at your dealer. Others you can easily make yourself as described on page 34. The layout illustrated in drawing below is a n excellent road to f i t on a large table or an around-the-room layout.
It permits simple operation, even though two trains may be run in opposite directions. Space needed: 130 inches by 110 inches. The layout illustrated above requires only four switches. Crossing at upper left-hand corner can be accomplished by grading with overpass. Space needed: 130 inches by 100 inches. Most of the layouts on these pages do not indicate any grading of track beds. This feature has been omitted because grading will be greatly influenced by the location of your layout. Any of the layouts shown can be enhanced by grading, and in most cases overpasses can be substituted where crossings a r e shown. ”Wipe Your Track Regularly”

AUTOMATIC TRAIN OPERATION No matter how little you know about basic electrical principles when you s t a r t , you will find yourself becoming more and more familiar with them as your model pike progresses. You will discover t h a t there i s no end to the unusual effects you can produce. F o r instance, you can add a lot of excitement to your train operation by wiring automatic railroads on which two opposi n g trains can run indefinitely, never colliding. The secret, of course, i s in letting the trains control each other. On these systems a train emerging from the siding activates t h e t r a i n t h a t has been deadened on the other siding.

RUNNING A RAILROAD Most intricate of all model railway systems-and the most exciting of all-is the one t h a t requires the services of a number of operators. Such systems a r e just the thing f o r model railroad clubs or f o r families in which several members all want to participate. The one shown here is set up f o r four operators but if space allows it can be easily expanded. The No. 1 man i s engineer of the outside loop train, controlling the train only. No. 2 man i s dispatcher and operator of the outside loop, controlling switches, signals and any operating accessories. All semaphores and block signals a r e remote-controlled by dispatcher, so engineer must watch them carefully in the operation of his train. The inside loop also has both t r a i n engineer and dispatcher-yardmaster. No. 3 man runs the inside loop train, while No. 4 controls track operations and accessories. Operating this railroad i s like this: Engineer No. 1 must

Yellow light on l53B (replacing red light on signal) indicates reduced speed to take crossover B. When crossover switches at B a r e set to take trains from outside loop, switch C is also automatically set t o take t r a i n in on track D.

HOW TO TAME CARE OF LIONEL EQUIP Lionel t r a i n s and accessories a r e made of the best available materials and are carefully inspected at every step of production t o make sure they reach you in perfect condition. Like all fine mechanical equipment, however, Lionel trains will perform better and last longer if you t r e a t them with proper care. While complete over-hauling and replacement of p a r t s is best done by a n Authorized Lionel Repairman, you can do a g r e a t deal yourself to keep your t r a i n s in good operating order. The most import a n t thing you can do i s t o clean and lubricate your equipment regularly. A complete Lubricating and Maintenance Kit No. 927, containing detailed instructions and necessary materials, is available at your Lionel Dealer at $1.50 and i s a good investment f o r a model railroader. Lionel No. 921 Lubricating Kit Cleaning Your Equipment All p a r t s of your Lionel outfit which serve as electrical contacting surfaces must be kept clean and f r e e of oil or grease which might act as a n insulator. These p a r t s a r e the rolling surfaces of locomotive and car wheels, the contact rollers and sliders and the track itself. Dampen a clean cloth with Lionel Cleaner or other household cleaner, run it over the surface to be cleaned, then wipe dry. If t h e rails
or the rail pins have become rusted, good contacting surface should be restored by polishing with fine sandpaper or emery cloth. Do wot use steel wool. Loose pins should he tightened with a p a i r of track pliers described on page 35. All missing pins should be replaced. Frequently rails and pins become rust-coated during storage, particularly if they a r e kept in a damp place. A light coat of lubricant spread on the rails before they a r e stored away will keep them in good condition and free of rust. To keep your outfit looking new you may want to clean the cars as well. The painted surfaces of car bodies should be cleaned with a cloth saturated with mild soap suds and dried carefully. Do not use any abrasive cleaners and solvents or you will destroy the c a r markings. Lubricating Lionel Trains Like all fine mechanical equipment, Lionel Trains should be properly lubricated. This will guarantee good operation and prolong the life of your equipment. Proper lubrication does not mean excessive lubrication. Too much oil or grease is just a s bad as none at all, because i t will gather dust, foul the motor, and get on the wheels and track making them so slippery t h a t the locomotive will not be able t o pull the train. Lubricate thoroughly, but sparingly, and wipe off all excess oil o r grease. Where Not t o Lubrica+e Some p a r t s of Lionel equipment should not be lubricated at all because oil 01- grease would interfere with their operation. These p a r t s a r e : Motor brushes or the commutator surface of motor armatures ; Track rails o r running surfaces of locomotive wheels ; Conveyor belts carrying artificial coal ; Contact rollers of locomotives and cars of t h e type where the roller t u r n s on a rigidly fixed axle.

Where t o Use Lionel Lubricant A tube of special non-fluid Lionel Lubricant i s furnished with each Lionel outfit. Because this grease-type lubricant does not run, i t should be used f o r all exposed moving p a r t s of locomotives and cars. Such exposed parts, marked by letter L in the sketches on these pages, include gears, ends of pilot wheel axles, truck pivots and guides. P a y particular attention to t h e exposed ends of a r m a t u r e s h a f t s in locomotives equipped with transversely mounted motors, such as Nos. 2055, 2026 and 2046. Because these s h a f t s rotate at high r a t e s of speed they require lubrication more frequently than any other p a r t of the locomotive. The armature ends can be easily reached as shown in t h e illustration below.
Locomotives where the motor is mounted lengthwise do not require as much attention since they a r e equipped with large lubricant reservoirs which a r e filled a t t h e Factory. Locomotives containing motors of this type a r e Nos. 681, 736 and 2353. Similar motors a r e used in such accessories as t h e 364 lumber and 397 coal loaders. A motor equipped with a lubricant reservoir i s a t top left of next column.
I
Where to Use Oil The driving axles of Lionel locomotives run in porous bronze bushings which a r e impregnated with oil at t h e Factory and retain their self-lubricating properties f o r a long time. This self-contained oil supply can be replenished with a few drops of light motor oil. Oil is also used t o replenish oil wicks such as a r e used to lubricate t h e armat u r e s h a f t s in t h e whistle motor and in locomotives No. 623 and 2031. Sketch above r i g h t shows a type of motor using a n oil wick f o r lubrication. In applying oil be careful not to get any into the brush wells which adjoin t h e oil hole. T o avoid excessive use of oil, and to direct i t only a t the desired location, the oil should be applied a drop a t a time, using a toothpick o r a long wire as applicator. Lubricating C a r Trucks Improperly lubricated car trucks may double the d r a g on your locomotive. Spin t h e wheels by hand. If they show any signs of d r a g or binding remove t h e old lubricant and t h e accumulated dust and d i r t with Lionel Cleaner and apply a dab of fresh lubricant at ends of axles. (Points "L.")

How t o Clean Motors Sluggish and uneven operation of the locomotive is most often caused by a dirty motor. A typical Lionel motor consists of p a r t s illustrated below. Although these parts may vary somewhat in shape and arrangement they can be easily recognized and a r e cleaned in the same way. The most important p a r t to be cleaned. is the comrnutator, the segmented copper surface on whlch the carbon h m s h c s make their contact. The commutator can be easily seen and reached f o r cleaning on locomotives having a transverselymounted motor. T o polish the commutator t u r n the locomotive on its side and connect one ire from transformer to t h e locomotive contact roller and the other wire to any metal p a r t of the locomotive body. The motor will then run. While i t is running press a small piece of very fine sandpaper against t h e moving commutator. Then clean out the 1

I n locomotives where the motor is mounted lengthwise, the motor can be reached only a f t e r the locomotive body i s removed. In many of them the commutator can be reached through a hole in the brush plate. Motor Trouble Shooting
If your train refuses t o run, f i r s t make s u r e t h a t the transformer is plugged in and t h a t you a r e getting curl-ent from the transformer output terminals. Then see t h a t all connections on transformers and track are correct and firmly fastened. See t h a t there a r e three steel pins inserted at the end o f each section of track. If t r a i n still does not run, disconnect the two transformer wires from track. P r o p locomotive right side up so that, wheels a r e free t o turn. Touch one of these wires t o a n y unpainted p a r t of the motor frame. With the other wire touch the contact shoe which collects the current from the center rail of the track. If motor still does not operate, it may be t h a t the reversing unit is in neutral position. If the E-Unit is in neutral position, the locomot~vewill not iwn, although i t s headlight will be on. T r y the above procedure with different adjustments of t h e reversing unit lever. If the w-heels move very slowly, cleaning and lubricating the motor may be all t h a t is necessary to restore original p on. er . If motor s t a r t s and stops, o r if wheels do not revolve. look f o r loose connections. See if the carbon brushes make good contact with commutator. Clean the cornmutator a.; described in a previous section. If the wheels revolve freely there is nothing wrong with t h e locomotive motor. The trouble may be t h a t the contact shoe rollers do not have enough tension to make proper contact with the center rail. If contact rollers appesr to be badly worn, have them replaced.
