The Kohs & Company 'Allegheny' class locomotive is an exact scale replica of the original pro-

totype.  It is constructed of formed and fabricated brass and incorporates many scale operating 

features. Although the model is very sturdily built, the boiler, tender shell and particularly the 

detailing are very susceptible to damage by rough or careless handling.  To prevent damage, 

please exercise great care in unpacking and handling the model.  The locomotive is best handled 

by lifting under the rear engine cylinders due to the articulated front engine.  When touching 

the painted surfaces, be advised to wear the supplied gloves to protect the finish. 

This locomotive model is designed to operate on Direct Current (DC) electricity.  Any applica-

tion of Alternating Current 

(AC) WILL DESTROY THE INTERNAL ELECTRONIC COM-

PONENTS OF THIS MODEL

.  Kohs & Company will not be responsible for damage caused 

by the application of AC power to the model.  We will offer further power supply specification 

recommendations under the heading of 'Power Supply Requirements', please make note of the 

information offered.

Before unpacking, handling or operating your new model 

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO 

FULLY READ THIS MANUAL

. This is a small investment in time to protect your substantial 

financial investment and to prevent unnecessary disappointment and frustration.
