Does any body know if you need the Lionel Command System to activate functions like the
siren ect? It came out 1998 and Lionel has no manual online. As long as I can activate the siren I'll be
happy and understand if the more advanced functions are not operable without the Lionel system.
Appreciatively, UnclePeteRR

The siren needs command control to activate (AUX9). The only thing you can activate without TMCC is diesel horn and bell (and diesel motor sounds, of course).
The manual is indeed online, but it's listed under the numbers of the individual products. You can find it here:

The answer provided above is correct: the siren can only be operated via TMCC.

I have a couple of these. I believe that that horn and bell can be activated in conventional. That the light will always flash on the firecar. The Siren most likely will not be available.
In Command light can activated with siren or siren and light at the same time.
A whistle and bell button is needed for activation....in conventional.
I have one and the siren drives me nuts after about 30 seconds!
I'm resurrecting this thread because I recently purchased a sealed set. My question is whether the fire car is command controlled, i.e., forward/reverse/speed?
The FireCar set has a LCRU2 Command reverse unit located in the Training/support car with a tethered connection to the fire car.
Here's an updated link to the manual
SteveH,
Perfect, thanks.
