Running your Lionel SD40 with a Lionel transformer

Place your SD40 on Lionel or Lionel-compatible• Note the pull of Magne-Traction between your SD40 and the steel track.

Magnetized wheels and axles increase your pulling power (more than 25 cars on straight and level track) and keep your SD40 on track while passing swiftly through curves.

2 Power up your SD40 with your transformer.

• Your SD40 is designed to operate on 7-18 volts alternating current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current trans-formers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad control system.

• Do not power your SD40 with Direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur.

• When you first power up your track, the SD40 will wait between 3 and 8 seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a conventional (nonCommand) railroad, the SD40’s headlights will illu-minate and Railsounds will fire up. At this point, the SD40 is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the SD40 on your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power inter-rupt.)

3 Move ‘em out!

• Get your SD40 moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or Lionel transformer. This sequences the Liontech Command reverse unit (LCRU) to the next operating state. The LCRU alternates between three states: forward, neutral, and reverse.

• Adjust track voltage until your SD40 moves at your desired speed. To increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, reduce volt-age. To stop the locomotive, cut track power.

• To select a single operating state (example: forward only), you can deac-tivate the LCRU’s sequencing function. Get your SD40 moving in the desired direction, then slide the reverse unit control switch on the SD40’s underside to PROGRAM/LOCK. See page 4 for the switch loca-tion and positioning.

T o select a single operational state for your Lionel SD40 (example: forward

only), you can deactivate the LCRU2’s sequencing function with the reverse unit control switch, located on the underside of the locomotive.

Get your locomotive moving in the desired direction, then slow it down with-

out stopping. Set the reverse unit control switch to PROGRAM/LOCK. The SD40 is now “locked” into your chosen direction.

When you no longer want single-direc-tion operation, just slide the reverse unit control switch back to FORWARD/ RUN.

Your SD40 front and rear Electrocoupler™ will respond to the coupler release but-

tons on your CAB-1 remote when operated in the TrainMaster Command environment (see page 9 for button location). During con-ventional operation, the Electrocouplers will react to the magnetic field generated by a Lionel remote-control track section (avail-able separately).

In TrainMaster Command operation, sim-ply press the coupler F (front) or r (rear) but-ton on your CAB-1 remote, and the coupler opens, accompanied by the Railsounds cou-pler release sound.

In the conventional mode, place the cou-pler’s “trigger disc” over the remote-control

track’s coil and press uncouple on the con-troller. The magnetic field pulls the disc downward, and the coupler opens.

One operating technique favored by Lionel railroaders is the “moving uncouple.” Press the coupler R button on your CAB-1 remote or, in the conventional mode, press the uncouple button as the SD40 passes over a remote-control section. The coupler will open and the consist will remain behind as the locomotive moves on.

But be careful when uncoupling—the speed of a newly uncoupled and moving locomotive can increase dramatically.

Lionel Railsounds is the most realistic model railroad sound system in the

world. Your SD40 features digital sam-ples from an authentic SD40 for the ulti-mate in realism.

Begin by in-stalling a 9-volt alkaline battery in your SD40. This ensures int-eruption free operat ion of Railsounds. Lift off the access panel as shown in the illustra-tion. Connect the 9-volt alka-line battery to the battery clip down inside on t h e c h a s s i s . Then replace t h e a c c e s s panel.

When you first apply track power, the SD40’s Railsounds system delivers an

authentic start-up sequence, followed by the sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the SD40’s speed increases, the RPMs move through four levels of roar. Sounds

return to idle only after the l o c o m o t i v e has come to a complete halt.

To s i l e n c e t h e d i e s e l r o a r ( h o r n a n d b e l l remain unaf-fected), slide t h e R a i l -sounds switch, located under-n e a t h t h e locomotive, to

the oFF posi-t i o n b e f o r e powering up the locomotive. See page 4 for

the switch location and positioning.

Your SD40’s Railsounds system—the basics

Install a 9-volt alkaline battery in your SD40. Lift off the access panel, connect the battery to the power cord, and place the battery into the cavity.

Transformer operations

W ith Railsounds, you experience the sounds of real railroading like never

before. Simply put, it’s the most sophisticat-ed, authentic model railroad sound system in the world.

• Four diesel-roar levels. Your SD40’s speed determines the level of diesel RPM roar—automatically, if you prefer: idle, medium, or full-speed output.• MultiHorn™. A different horn sound at dif-ferent speeds—a Railsounds exclusive.• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect, again to discontinue.• Full control of RPMs. Prefer hands-on con-trol of diesel RPM roar? Want to “ramp up” RPMs before pulling out, just like real die-sels do? It’s easy with Railsounds. Place your SD40 in neutral and increase track voltage to maximum. RPMs will continue to increase as long as the SD40 remains in neutral, eventu-ally reaching their highest level. Now, decrease track voltage to the desired

speed level, press DIR on your CAB-1 remote or transformer, and head out, your SD40 at full churn, just like the real thing. RPMs will remain at that level until the locomotive has come to a complete halt. Experiment with controllable RPMs—it’s a blast!• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds, and listen for the air-release sound—that’s the SD40 telling you its Lionel Command reverse unit has just reset to forward operation. • Shutdown sequence. No other model rail-road sound system shuts down like Railsounds. Turn off track power, and after the air-release reset sound, you have two seconds to restart your SD40. If you’re done with operations, Railsounds will commence with an authentic SD40 shutdown sequence about two seconds after the air-release reset occurs.

Experiencing the range of your SD40’s Railsounds system

Notes on Railsounds• Turn the volume set screw clockwise or counter clockwise in the location shown to adjust sound output.• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during Railsounds operation. They’re auto-matic and, of course, authentic.• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed ensures continuous SD40 diesel roar.• Longer track-power interruptions (includ-ing locomotive derailments) cause Railsounds to shut down after about 7 sec-onds.• For even more authentic Railsounds effects, operate in the TrainMaster Command envi-ronment.

The Command control environment

L ionel T rainMaster Command is the advanced model railroad control system

from Lionel. Your SD40 is equipped with a Liontech Command reverse unit.

TrainMaster Command gives you the power to operate multiple Command-

equipped locomotives on the same track, at the same time.

to operate in commanD, you neeD a commanD BaSe anD a caB-1 remote. Find them both at your authorized Lionel retail-er.

TrainMaster Command operations

Place your SD40 on Lionel or Lionel-compatible• Make sure track power is OFF before placing on the track.• Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications

wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U on any of your installed PowerMasters.

• Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on PowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD).

2 Address your SD40 using 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 trans-lates your command into digital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital communication, but they do not respond until they hear their individual ID number—in this case, “1.”

• The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power—controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gasoline in the tank of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how fast to get there.

• All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” To change the ID# of your SD40, see page 12.

3 Move ‘em out!

• Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your SD40 will respond to your every command. Read on.

Tuning your SD40’s performance

MOMENTUMTrainMaster Command’s momentum

feature simulates the labored performance of a locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press L, M, or H (located under CAB-1’s remov-able panel) for light, medium, or heavy momentum. The SD40’s LCRU remembers this setting until you change it. For quick locomotive response, choose L.

BRAKING AND BOOSTINGThere’s more to starting and stopping

than just turning the CAB-1 throttle. Use the BOOST and BRAKE command but-tons—they give you incremental control of speed and are the superior way to handle grades, gradual stops-and-starts, and more. Plus, using BRAKE in the Command environment gives you a bonus Railsounds effect—the ultrarealistic sound of squealing brakes.

SOUND QUALITYTo achieve your preferred Railsounds

master volume level, we recommend you adjust your SD40 volume control set screw in the battery compartment (see page 5 for location). Turn the set screw left or right to reach the desired volume level.

For quick remote-control of volume below the master setting—for example,

muting—use the CAB-1 numeric keypad’s volume control. Press AUX1 and then 4 on the numeric keypad to lower overall Railsounds output.

HIGH VOLTAGE SETTINGPress SET, headlight will flash. Get your

locomotive moving to the maximum speed you want it to run, press BOOST. Use this to keep your locomotive from excess-speed derailing. Turn off the high voltage setting by pressing SET, then BOOST, hold-ing each for one second.

STALLMake your SD40 feel more responsive by

setting a “stall” voltage. Get your locomo-tive moving, then press SET; the SD40 will stop. Turn the throttle clockwise to get the locomotive moving, then decrease speed until the locomotive just stops. Then press SET again; the LCRU remembers the stall setting until you change it. To clear stall, press SET twice, holding it for one second each time.

We recommend that you chose an easy to remember ID# for your engine. Some possi-bilities are part of the engine road number, your age, any two digit number that is not used by another engine. Write the number on a small piece of tape and put this on the bottom of the fuel tank to aid in remember-ing.

A s your fleet of Command-equipped Lionels grows, you’ll want to give your

SD40 a more individualized number. Choose from any between 1 and 99. To make things easy, use a portion of your SD40’s cab number.

Turn the Command Base ON and place the SD40 on track. Power up, then set the SD40’s reverse unit control switch to PROGRAM/LOCK (see the illustration). Using CAB-1, press ENG, the locomotive ID# (you select: ?), then press the SET button located under CAB-1’s removable panel. Hear the horn blow (or see the headlight flash if Railsounds is off); that’s the LCRU confirming the new ID#. Set the reverse unit control switch to FORWARD/RUN. Your SD40 is ready for operations with its all-new ID#.

TrainMaster Command operations Maintaining and servicing your SD40 Lubricating your SD40

H elp your Lionel SD40 lead a long and productive life on your railroad by

maintaining it properly. We recommend you purchase a Lionel

Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (no. 6-62927), available from your Lionel deal-er. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate (a small amount will do), and avoid getting grease or oil on the

SD40’s wheels or your track. You’ll know your SD40 requires lubrica-

tion when visual inspection reveals dry-ness on the parts indicated in the illustra-tion. Remove accumulated dirt and dust before lubricating, and always lubricate any locomotive emerging from prolonged storage.

Maintaining and servicing your SD40

Your SD40 will require occasional lubri-cation of its Pullmor® motor armatures.

If you hear excess noise during operation, or if the locomotive slows down intermit-tently, you may need to oil the top arma-ture bearings.

Start by removing only those screws with brackets and the two cab screws at the arrow locations in the illustration below. The cab can now be seperated from the frame, taking care not to pull on the connecting wires. Next, carefully remove the set screw from the top of the motor brush plate using a .050" Allen

wrench. Apply a small amount of Lionel oil (two drops) in the set screw hole. Reinstall the set screw tightly, then back off one-half turn. Duplicate these steps for the other Pullmor motor.

Finish the job by reinstalling the body shell. Align the frame brackets so that they do not interfere with the trucks’ swing.

Note!

A screw and eye-let is located at the front and rear of engine. These screws also need to be removed from the top (shell side) to remove shell from frame.

Maintaining and servicing your SD40 Replacing your SD40’s lamps

Y our SD40 is illuminated by two 12-volt lamps. During the course of

normal operation, they may require replacement.

Begin by removing the SD40’s shell; see the previous section on armature lubrica-tion for detailed shell-removal information. Care-fully lift the shell away from the frame. Take care with the various wiring assemblies connected to the shell.

Locate the assembly con-taining the expired lamp. It’s held in position by a retaining clip; carefully remove the tar-get lamp assembly from the retaining clip, then gently pull

the expired lamp from the socket. Replace it with Lionel part no. 600-8352-311, avail-able from your authorized Lionel Service

Center or Lionel Service. See the Lionel Service section on page 16 for more information. Reinstall the shell. Your Lionel SD40 is equipped with ocillating ditch lights. These small bulbs (Lionel part no. 10-8216-009) are located in the pilot. During the course of nor-mal operation they may require replacement. We recommend that you have your local Authorized Lionel Service Center perform this service.

Remove the SD40’s shell, pull the lamp assembly from its retaining clip, and replace the expired lamp.

Note!Press Aux2 to make sure headlamp was not accidently turned off, before replacing bulb
