RAILKING

throttle is turned OFF and then ON again. At this point, the engine will

now function just like any other electronic or mechanical E-unit.

In addition to the DCRU® electronic reverse unit, your new train set

locomotive features an electronic horn that can be activated by

pressing the white Horn/Whistle button on your Z-750 transformer.

Any compatible transformer whistle or horn button will also activate the

horn in your new locomotive. Simply pressing the Horn/Whistle button

whenever the throttle is above the OFF setting should activate the horn.

If the horn doesn’t blow, increase the throttle setting and press the

button again. The horn will blow as long as the button is depressed.

Now, if you’ve lubricated the locomotive friction points as indicated

earlier, you’re almost ready to start running your train set.

Transformer Operation

The Z-750 provides the model railroad enthusiast with an easy to use,

safe power source for AC-powered trains and accessories. Set up is
