LGB Genesis 2x49x - Expert Instructions
Smoke, Sound and MTS Installation                November 9, 2006

Hint:

 The installation shown here requires the removal of the loco body shell and disassembly of the sound module. However, 

reinstalling the body shell can be difficult. Alternately, you can install all the components through the removable roof panel and press 

an unmodified sound module into the tabs in the loco chassis. However, this alternate technique may be difficult for people with large 

hands, and the sound module will not be as secure.

Attention!

 It is possible to plug the decoder cable into the loco circuit board backwards. (See Step 8.) The loco will run 

reversed from normal, and the smoke unit will get full track voltage, which will quickly damage the smoke unit.

1. Remove the body shell and roof panel. Install the 65853 

smoke unit in the roof panel. Plug the wire terminals onto pins 

labeled “Smoke” on loco’s main board.

2. Disassemble the 65003 sound module. (

Hint:

 Gently press in 

the tabs on the sides of the module to snap the case apart.) Drill 

two holes in diagonal corners of the speaker side of the case 

to match the speaker mounting posts, and attach the case side 

with two screws (from 69002). (Be sure to reinstall the speaker 

grille and speaker before attaching the case side.)

3. Move the cables attached to the weight. Attach the remaining 

side of the module case to the weight (forward of the body 

frame) using double-stick tape or Velcro (not included).

4. Attach the module circuit board to the case with double-stick 

tape.
