TrainMaster Command
Control Upgrade Kit
Owners Manual Congratulations!
C
ongratulations on your purchase of the Lionel TrainMaster Command Control Upgrade Kit!
This kit allows you upgrade a Lionel locomotive that has been specifically designated as
Command upgradeable. These locomotives were first offered in the 1998 Lionel Catalog.
The Lionel TrainMaster Command Control Upgrade Kit is composed of electronic
circuit boards that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Please avoid all
physical contact with the chips and handle the boards by their edges only.
To upgrade the Platinum Ghost F-3 (6-38150), the Santa Fe FT (6-18157), the New
York Central FT (6-18163), or the Baltimore & Ohio FT (6-18169), follow the
upgrade instructions in the Owners Manual for the particular locomotive.
The Hudson locomotive with the Conventional RailSounds sound system (6-21988)
must also have an upgrade to the full RailSounds sound system (Upgrade Kit
6-22963) for proper operation.

ollow these steps to upgrade all steam locomotives, with the exception of the early versions
of the upgradeable Hudson and Pacific locomotives (6-18082, 6-18083, 6-18084, 6-18085,
6-18086, 6-18087, 6-18088, and 6-28000). These exceptions are discussed in the next section.
1. Remove the body screws that secure the locomotive body to the frame and lift away the body.
Refer to your locomotives manual for the location of these screws.
2. Locate and unplug the 104E circuit board from the motherboard. Refer to Figure 1.

3. Install the R2LC circuit board from the TrainMaster Command Control upgrade kit in the
position made available in Step 2.
4. As illustrated in Figure 2, move the jumper marked JP1 to the next position, leaving the
opposite pin open.

5. Install the locomotives body back on the frame, making sure that no wires are pinched.
6. Remove the tender body screws and lift away the body. Refer to the locomotives manual for
the locations of the screws.
7. Follow the tether cable to the end of the black insulation and locate the green wire.
8. Determine if the green wire is connected to the four-pin connector. If the wire is connected,
reinstall the tender body. The upgrade is complete. Proceed to page 15 to reprogram your loc
omotive for use in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. If the green wire is not
attached, continue with this procedure. Refer Figure 3.

9. Pull the black insulating sleeve off the end of the loose green tether wire.
10. Grasp the white housing of the four-pin connector and pull it straight up and off the circuit
board.
11. As illustrated in Figure 4, insert the connector pin at the end of the green wire into the
empty fourth position on the connector.
If you are also adding a RailSounds sound system upgrade, install the RailSounds
sound system circuit boards as discussed in the RailSounds sound system upgrade
manual.

12. Replace the body, making sure that the wires are not pinched between the body and the
frame.
13. Reprogram the R2LC for your specific locomotive. Refer to page 15.

1. Remove the body screws that secure the locomotive to the frame and lift away the body. Refer
to your locomotives manual for the location of these screws.
2. Locate and remove the jumper marked JUMP FOR EUNIT on the motherboard. This position
is to remain open. Refer to Figure 5.
3. As illustrated in Figure 5, move the jumper marked RADIO(FL)/EUNIT to the next position,
leaving the opposite pin open.
