Lionel Smoking Mechanical Reefer Freightsounds (8/20)

The Lionel Smoking Mechanical Reefer Freightsounds (8/20) is a sophisticated model train car that combines realistic sounds and visual effects to enhance your train layout. Here are some of its key features and possible use cases:

Sound Effects: The car features a built-in sound system that recreates the sounds of a running train, including generator noise, clickety-clacks, and other random bumps and bangs. You can adjust the volume and frequency of these effects to create a more immersive experience.
Smoke Unit: The car is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean, white smoke during operation. This adds a touch of realism to your layout and simulates the smoke emitted by refrigerated cars.

Owner's Manual

The following Lionel marks are used throughout this Owner’s Manual and are protected under law.

Thank You!

Thank you for your purchase of this Lionel Smoking Reefer with FreightSounds! These cars

add realistic sounds to any train along with a "cool" smoke effect to simulate a

refrigerated car. This car will work on an AC-Powered layout!

Switch controls

On the underside of the Reefer car are the switch controls. The following outlines the

function for each:

Smoke ON/OFF

Turns the smoke unit on or off. Do not operate the smoke unit without smoke fluid or damage to

the smoke unit may occur.

Generator

Turns the sound of the generator on or off that would power the refrigeration unit.

MAX/MIN

Switch to MAX for the full set of FreightSounds. Switch to MIN to reduce the frequency of

clickety-clacks, random squeals, and more.

Volume knob

Use a small screwdriver to adjust the volume to your desired level. Turning the knob clockwise

increases the volume.

Sound operation

To use your sound car, simply place the car on the tracks, couple it into your train, power

up the layout and start running.

With the generator switch in the ON position, you will hear the generator start up and then

run continuously until either track power is turned off or you move the switch to OFF. This

generator sound effect mimics the diesel generator that would power the refrigeration unit.

When you start to move the car, you will hear the FreightSounds begin. A constant

"rumble" will play along with clickety-clacks to mimic rail gaps as well as other random

bumps and bangs to simulate a moving train. To reduce these sound effects, move the MAX/

MIN switch to the MIN position. The overall volume can be reduced by using the VOL knob on

the underside of the car.

Multiple cars can be placed throughout a train for more sounds. We recommend spacing

your sound cars about 5 to 10 cars apart from the locomotive and each other for the best

effects.

Smoke unit operation

Your smoking reefer car is equipped with a smoke generator that produces safe, clean,

white smoke during operation. Add 10-20 drops (shown in Figure 2) to prime the unit the

first time you run the car or after being stored for an extended period of time, and then add 10

to 20 drops to refill when smoke production decreases. When refilling, DO NOT EXCEED 20

DROPS as this can cause your smoke unit to become oversaturated, allowing leakage onto the

electronics. Note that operating your car's smoke unit without smoke fluid will cause damage

to the heating element.

If you prefer to operate your car without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch and

slide it to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 for the location of the switch.

For best performance, we recommend using Lionel smoke fluid only. Do NOT use

smoke fluid from ready-to-run train sets.

Note!

1. Open one of the sliding doors of the car.

2. Locate and remove the smoke fill cover hatch

located on the inner wall near the top. Use the

metal grab iron to pull the hatch out.

3. With the hatch removed, use a pipette to add

10-20 drops of Lionel smoke fluid to the smoke

unit.

4. Replace hatch.

Your smoking reefer car is equipped with safety switches above the two sliding doors. If

both of the car’s doors are fully closed, the heating element inside the smoke unit will be

disabled. This is to prevent accidental buildup of smoke fluid residue inside of a closed

car. For the smoke unit to fully function, at least one of the two doors must be halfway

open or more.
