o operate properly, your Heliport requires

12-18 volts (AC). You can supply power

to this accessory in two ways: wiring directly

to your transformer OR wiring to a Lionel

LockOn (available separately) that is

attached to the track. Figure 1 illustrates the

following procedure.

To make the proper connections, the

ends of the wires must be stripped back 1/4”

to 3/8”. Use a pair of wire strippers or a

sharp knife to strip the wires.

Only an adult should perform

this task! Always use care

when stripping wires.

1. Attach one wire to the “U” terminal of

your transformer OR to one terminal on

your Lionel LockOn (available separate-

ly).

LockOn Users! Attach the LockOn to

any section of straight track. Fit the cen-

ter lip of the LockOn onto the edge of the

outside rail and press the LockOn

upward so that the spring contact snaps

onto the center rail. To attach wires to

the LockOn, simply depress the spring

clip and insert the bare end of the wire

into the exposed opening. Release the

clip, and gently tug on the wire to be

sure that you have a good connection.

2. Connect this wire to one of the spring

clips labeled TRANSFORMER CLIPS at

the bottom of the accessory.

To attach this wire, simply depress

the spring clip and insert the bare

end of the wire into the exposed opening.

Release the clip, and gently tug on the wire

to be sure that you have a good connection.

3. Attach another wire to the “A” terminal

on your transformer OR to the other ter-

minal on your Lionel LockOn.

4. Connect this wire to the other spring clip

labeled TRANSFORMER CLIPS at the

bottom of the accessory.

5. To wire the launch switch, attach one

wire to the each of the spring clips

labeled TRIGGER SWITCH at the bottom

of the accessory.

6. Connect each of these wires to the termi-

nals on the separate switch (included

with your accessory).

At this point, you have supplied power to the

accessory and wired the control button.

fter you have completed the wiring of

this accessory, your Lionel Heliport is

clear for landing on your layout!

1. Place the Heliport on a flat, level

section of your layout.

You may want to consider locating the

Heliport in where it will be in easy reach

for preparing the helicopter for launch.

Securing this accessory to your layout is

also your choice; you will find two slot-

ted areas on the base of the Heliport for

this purpose.

2. Next, install the radar dishes and

megaphones.

Attach the two radar dishes to the post

and push the base of the post into the

opening on the roof. Refer to the dia-

gram for assembly and installation

details. Attach the two molded mega-

phones above or below the roof as indi-

cated in Figure 5.

3. Finally, install the black tail sup-

port structure.

Simply push the two legs into the two

openings on the roof.

Figure 5. Installing roof details

The Heliport is wired, positioned, and

assembled. You are clear for takeoff!

Here are your flight instructions.

1. Slide the metal lever all the way

to the right to so that the metal

locking mechanism catches each

of the three “teeth” along the

sides of the platform/dial.

If the metal locking mechanism is

not in position to capture each

tooth, the platform will unwind immediately.

2 Turn the black helicopter plat-

form/dial clockwise approximate-

ly seven to eight clicks.

3 Next, place the helicopter on the

launching platform.

The tail should rest on the black support

structure to the right of the launching

platform. The body of the helicopter

should rest on the launching platform.

The notches or teeth in the center

of the platform and at the bottom

of the helicopter must fit together. Rotate

the helicopter blades while the helicopter is

in position until these notches fit together.

4. Launch your helicopter by press-

ing the launch button or by using

the Cab-1 remote. For informa-

tion about using the CAB-1, refer

to the Command Control sections

above.

If you press the button and the

helicopter does not launch, simply

tap on the roof of the structure to release any

binds that have occurred in the mechanism.

Have a great flight!

The blades of the helicopter

rotate to provide lift. Keep

clear of the accessory when launching the

helicopter.

Figure 6. Preparing the helicopter for launch

The interior of your Lionel Heliport is illu-

minated by one lamp (part no. 12-3011-311).

During the course of normal operation, it may

require replacement. Follow these steps and

refer to Figure 7 to replace the lamp.

1 Unscrew the die-cast nuts from the top of

the roof, then remove the roof.

A wire runs from the structure

to the roof. Be careful that

you do not pull on this wire and disturb its

connections. See a Lionel Authoirzed Service

Center for assistance with the connections.

2 Locate the lamp and pull it out of the

socket. Refer to the diagram for lamp

location.

3 Carefully push the replacement lamp

into the socket.

4 Replace the roof so that the securing

screws line up with the two holes in the

roof. Also, be sure that the molded brack-

ets on the bottom of the roof are posi-

tioned at the inside of the two rear cor-

ners. Secure the roof with the two die-

cast nuts.
