Running your train reverse unit procedure he electronic reverse unit inside your Lionel locomotive acts like the transmission in a car.

Power interruptions are the signal that tells the reverse unit to sequence to the next operational state.
PowerMax Plus Transformer operation Powering your layout with the Powermax Plus Transformer our PowerMax Plus Transformer provides a total output of 2.4 amps. Also, available voltage depends on how much load is on the output. Generally, track voltage is 0-16 volts (AC). You may momentarily approach or exceed the 2.4 amp limit of the PowerMax Plus Transformer when pulling illuminated cars, or fighting over grades with heavy loads.
We recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your Lionel dealer. Two basic rules to keep in mind: never over-lubricate (a small amount will do) and avoid getting grease or oil on the locomotive’s wheels, contact roll- ers, or your track.
