smoke generator
Position 2: Power to lights, smoke
generator and motor
(factory pre-set)
Position 3: same as Position 2
Attention: Do not connect this model
to other loco models with different
starting characteristics. This can
damage the internal gearing.
Hint: Similar to the prototype, the
rods and valve gear of the rack
mechanism only move when the
model is running on a cog rack.
Rack Operation
LGB rack locomotives can operate on
grades of up to 25%, climbing 250
mm for every 1000 mm of horizontal
distance. They can be used on rack
sections and on regular "adhesion"
sections.
To install a cog rack, install the
10220 holders between the track
ties. Snap the 10210 racks into the
holders from above.
Hints:
- Avoid grades steeper than 25%.
- Avoid abrupt transitions in the gra-
dient of your tracks. Use several
short straight track sections, like
the 10150, at the beginning and the
end of a steep section.
- Avoid sharp curves on rack sec-
tions. The cog wheel may slide off
the rack.
- To avoid accidental uncoupling, we
recommend
installing
coupler
hooks on both ends of all rolling
stock. A second coupler hook can
be installed on the front of the loco
as well.
- To prevent the coupler hooks from
rubbing on the cog racks, we rec-
ommend installing 64462 Rack
Loco Coupler Hooks on all rolling
stock.

Multi-Train System
21471 (onboard decoder):
The model is equipped with a facto-
ry-installed onboard decoder for the
LGB Multi-Train System. It can be
used without modifications on ana-
log or digital layouts. For operation
with the Multi-Train System, the
model is programmed to loco
address 03. For information on pro-
gramming the loco address, see the
instructions for various MTS compo-
nents.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, you can control the loco's
functions remotely. Press the light-
ing button ("9" with remotes) to turn
the loco lights on or off. Press func-
tion button 7 to turn the smoke gen-
erator off or on.
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 accelera-
tion, braking, direction of travel and
many others, can be programmed
using a PC and the 55045 MTS PC
Decoder Programming Module (see
Instructions for advanced users).
These functions also can be pro-
grammed from the 55015 Universal
Remote.
21470 (analog version):
The model is equipped with a digital
interface to connect a DCC decoder
with an output of at least 1.5 amp
(Fig. 5). Remove the plug on the
decoder interface and connect the
decoder.
For use with the LGB Multi-Train
System, we recommend the model
21471, which already is equipped
with an onboard decoder.
Lighting
This model features directional light-
ing. The model has two "flat" multi-
purpose sockets, with removable
covers, at the front and rear of the
loco (21471 only, Fig. 3, 4). These
sockets can be used to provide track
power to LGB 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.)
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 generator halfway with fluid. If
the generator is overfilled, it will not
convert the fluid into smoke.
Attention! Never touch the heating
element in the center of the smoke
generator. It is hot and fragile. Not
for children. Only for use by adults!
Attention! Only use LGB Smoke and
Cleaning Fluid (50010). Other fluids
may damage your locomotive.
Hint: The smoke generator can be
run "dry" without smoke fluid.
Power Supply
Attention! For safety and reliability,
operate this model with LGB power
supplies (transformers, power packs
and controls) only. The use of non-
LGB power supplies will void your
warranty.
Use this model with LGB power sup-
plies with an output of more than 1
amp. For more information on LGB
power supplies for indoor, outdoor
and multi-train operation, see the
LGB catalog.
Attention! After extended operation,
this model may leave carbon dust or
other debris around the track. This
dust and debris can stain carpet and
other materials. Consider this when
setting up your layout. Ernst Paul
Lehmann Patentwerk and LGB of
America are not liable for any dam-
ages.
