How do I hook up a Lionel large scale rail scope engine I just received ?
I have the receiver, but no instructions
Perhaps a google search for “Lionel large scale rail scope engine”
This looks promising - Lionel PDF

I have one of these. Never did get the camera system hooked up, but it was my favorite loco before I went from track to battery power. Been thinking about selling it and a couple other small track power locomotives…
What loco is it? A geep?

I believe it was a large bodied 0-4-0
It’s an 0-4-0 steam engine. i went to lionels support website , but their documents don’t help…unless I missed one.
The big mystery s the two wires coming out of the receiver that looks like a lumber pile?
dont know where they go? I assume with batteries installed the camera will broadcast to the receiver which is then plugged into a tv with the special cable. Anyone know?
Okay, I found it. On the service manual search page, there is a blue inset box on the left side, part way down the page. There are check boxes in the inset to select different manuals, so click the rail scope box and it submit. That brings up a list is manuals for all the rail scope engines.

The 2 wires go to your standard analog tv or through your vcr, probably the antenna’s screw terminals.
I liked the link to the Lionel website:
“On Saturday November 3, 2018 we experienced technical difficulties with our Support website that affected the parts ordering system. We have extended the Parts Sale dates to allow for the extension of the Warehouse Parts Sale through Wednesday 11-8-2018 at midnight to keep with the tradition of having a full 3 days to enjoy the 50% off parts event. You may have to refresh your carts if you do not see the discount.”
Maybe someone should tell them it’s not 2018 any more?

Black and white? Boo. Hiss. Its not the 1950’s anymore. Colour TV is all the rage now.
Greg, Shh, we’ll just keep that a secret, ok?
I saw a color television set over at a friend’s house recently. Amazing!
I’m not getting one until they work the bugs out though.
