Installing bumpers
Y
ou may choose to build a track layout that incorporates track bumpers (available
separately, 6-12717, 6-62283, or 6-12715). Having a bumper at each end of the track will
cause the Trolley to change directions, and the unit will travel back and forth between the
bumpers.
Running your Trolley with a Lionel transformer
K
eep in mind that the position of the front and rear bumpers determines the direction of
your Trolley. Press in the rear bumper, and the car will go forward. Press in the front
bumper, and the car will go backward. We recommend that you do not push rolling stock with
the Trolley for long periods of time and that you avoid colliding with other rolling stock and
locomotives at high speeds.
1. Place your Trolley on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O or O-27 gauge track.
2. Power up your Trolley with your transformer. Your Trolley is designed to operate best at
8-14 volts (AC). Virtually all Lionel or Lionel-compatible alternating-current or
direct-current transformers are suitable.
3. Move ‘em out! Get your Trolley moving. Adjust track voltage until the unit moves at your
desired speed.
The Trolley will change directions when it strikes a locomotive on the track, your hand, or a
bumper (available separately) at the end of the track. Striking either end of the car will cause a
direction change.
Pressing the bumper in half way will set the Trolley in neutral.
