OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  

 

“L&B LEW” MANUAL CONTROL 

 

 

SAFETY FIRST 
 
All our locomotives are safe to run, and will give many hours of pleasure, 
providing the following safety procedures are followed: - 
 
1.

 

Please read the instructions thoroughly before running for the first 
time. 

 
2.

 

Never let the engine run out of water. 

 
3.

 

When refilling the gas, do not have any naked flame present, and NO 
SMOKING! 

 
4.

 

Do not pick up the engine by the bodywork, chimney or boiler, 
especially when hot. 

 
5.

 

Only pick up the engine by the buffer beams and, when hot, use old 
gloves or a cloth. 

 

6.

 

Do not stand over the chimney.  Ejected boiling water or steam may 
cause serious injury.

 

 
7.

 

Do not open the smoke box door while the engine is alight.

 

 
8.

 

Constant supervision of the boiler water level is imperative as the gas 
CAN outlast the water. Failure to do so will be treated as misuse and 
is not covered by the warranty. The boiler will require topping up 
about every 10 minutes.
