see the instructions for various
MTS components.
When operating with the Multi-
Train System, you can remotely
control the loco's functions. Press
the lighting button ("9" with
remotes) to turn the loco lights on
or off. Press the function buttons
to control the following functions
1: Whistle signal "crossing" (2
long, 1 short, 1 long blasts)
2: Brake sound
3: Bell
4: Conductor
"The train is about to leave. All
Aboard!"
5: Flickering firebox off/on
6: Whistle (1 long blast)
7: Smoke generator off/on
8: Sound off/on
With a Loco Remote or Universal
Remote, press the numbered loco
function buttons. With an MTS
Train Mouse, press the loco func-
tion button the matching number
of times. For example, to trigger
the bell, press button "3" on the
Loco
Remote
Remote. If you are using a Train
Mouse, press the function button
three times to trigger the bell.
When operating with the Multi-
Train System, the loco features a
"Back-EMF" function. This keeps
the motor speed constant (and
under normal conditions the loco
speed), even when the load of the
loco changes, for example, in
curves or on grades. This feature
does not work at top speed,
because additional voltage must
be available to overcome any
added load.
If desired, numerous functions of
the onboard decoder, such as
acceleration, braking, direction of
travel and many others, can be
programmed using a PC and the
55045 MTS PC Decoder Pro-
gramming Module (see "Instruc-
tions for advanced users"). These
functions also can be pro-
grammed from the 55015 Univer-
sal Remote.
Lighting
This model features directional
lighting. The model has a "flat"
14
announcement:
or
Universal
multi-purpose socket, with a
removable cover, on the rear of
the tender (Fig. 4). This socket
can be used to provide track
power to LGB cars with lighting or
sound electronics.
To remove the cover of the sock-
et, 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.)
Smoke Generator
This model is equipped with a
smoke generator. A small supply
of LGB Smoke and Cleaning
Fluid is included with this model.
For best operation, fill the genera-
tor halfway with fluid. If the gener-
ator is overfilled, it will not convert
the fluid into smoke.
Attention! Only use LGB Smoke
and Cleaning Fluid (50010).
Other fluids may damage your
locomotive.
Attention! Never touch the heat-
ing element in the center of the
smoke generator. It is hot and
fragile.
Hint: The smoke generator can
be run "dry" without smoke fluid.
Sound
This model features a digital elec-
tronic sound system. The volume
control is located inside the
smoke box (Fig. 6). Pull out the
front of the boiler (Fig. 5) to
access the volume control.
Most of the sound features
described below also can be con-
trolled directly with the LGB Multi-
Train System (see Multi-Train
System).
Bell and whistle: The whistle
sounds automatically when the
locomotive is started (2 long
blasts when moving forward, 3
short blasts when reversing).
The bell and whistle also can be
triggered using the LGB Sound
Trigger Magnet (17050) included
with this model. The 17050 snaps
between the ties of most LGB
track sections.
The magnet in the 17050 is under
the LGB logo. If the contact is
installed with the logo on one side
