       How to set up the Torpedo 238 locomotive
       By: tlcmd Date: December 19, 2015, 4:20 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In 1997, I received a 238 Lionel Torpedo Locomotive as a gift
       from my wife. At the time, I had some problems setting it up
       with the Trainmaster remote control. I contacted Lionel and
       received a set of "corrected" instructions for setting it up.
       Now these instructions are "lost" in an old computer.
       I've got the loco up and running, but some of the controls on
       the trainmaster remote do not work properly (specifically the
       volume control). This is my only Trainmaster controlled unit and
       as such is Engine #1. I have checked and followed the
       instructions in the on-line manual.
       MY QUESTION: Does anyone know the correct instructions for
       setting this loco up which are different from those in the
       manual??
       Thanks,
       tlcmd

       Thank you!!! The "press AUX 1" instruction was left out of my
       manual. Now everything works fine with this loco.
