Smoke Unit

This model is equipped with a smoke unit. Fill the smoke stack only halfway with 

smoke fluid. If you put in too much fluid, the smoke unit cannot produce smoke. 

Important!

 Use only Märklin 2420 smoke fluid. Other liquids may damage your loco-

motive. 

Important!

 Do not touch the heating element in the middle of the smoke unit. It is hot 

and can break. 

Note: The smoke unit can be operated “dry“ without smoke fluid. 

Sound

The bell and whistle can be activated with the LGB sound activation magnet (item no. 

17050) that is included with the locomotive. The activation magnet can be clipped into 

place between the ties of most LGB track sections. The magnet is located on the side 

under the cast-in LGB logo. Place the magnet on the right side in order to activate the 

whistle when the locomotive passes over this location. The bell will sound when the 

magnet is placed on the left side.
