OPERATION

Operating Modes

This model has a three-way
power control switch mounted
inside the cab (Fig. 1a,b):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights and
smoke generator
Position 2: Power to lights, smoke
generator and motors (factory
pre-set)

Multi-Train System

This model has a “D” gearbox and
decoder interface. It can be equip-
ped with an LGB Multi-Train
System Decoder (55020) using a
Decoder Interface Cable (55026).
For more information, contact
your authorized LGB retailer or an
LGB service station (see 

Factory

Service

). We recommend factory

installation of decoders.

Hint:

If you install the decoder

yourself, reset the DIP-switches
on the circuit board inside the
model. For Multi-Train System
operation, all DIP-switches
should be set to OFF.

Lighting

This model has automatic direc-
tional lanterns on the front and
the rear of the loco. The cab is
also illuminated. A voltage stabi-
lization circuit reduces changes in
the brightness of the lights.
This model has a “flat” multi-pur-
pose socket, with a removable
cover, on the rear of the cab (Fig.
2). This socket can be used to
provide track power to cars with
lighting or sound electronics.
To remove the cover of the
socket, pull it straight out. If the
cover is tight, gently use a small
straight screwdriver, to pry it out.
(Do not pull out the rectangular
outer housing.) 
If your cars have the older,
“round” lighting connectors, use
the Light Socket Adapter (68334).

Smoke Generator

This model has a smoke genera-
tor in the smokestack. A small
supply of LGB Smoke and Clea-
ning Fluid is also included with
this model. For best operation, fill
the generator halfway with fluid. If
the generator is overfilled, it will
not convert the fluid into smoke.

Attention!

Only use LGB Smoke

and Cleaning Fluid (50010) in the
smoke generator. Other fluids
may damage your locomotive.

Attention!

Never touch the hea-

ting element in the center of the
smoke generator. It is fragile.

Power Supply
Attention!

For safety and reliabi-

lity, operate this model with LGB
power supplies (transformers,
power packs and controls) only.
The use of non-LGB power sup-
plies may void your warranty.
For more information on LGB
power supplies for indoor, outdoor
and multi-train operation, see the
LGB catalog.

Attention!

After extended opera-

tion, this model may leave a small
amount of carbon dust around the
track. This dust can stain carpet
and other materials. The user
assumes full responsibility for any
damage.

Improper service may

void your warranty. For factory
