DR Railbus VT 133 525
THE PROTOTYPE
The Priegnitzer Kreiskleinbahnen
bought two narrow gauge railbus-
es from the Wismar Coach Works
in 1939. The distinctive Wismar
design featured twin motors with
controls at both ends of the rail-
bus. This eliminated the need to
turn the railbus at the end of the
line, making it popular with narrow
gauge and short line railways.
From 1932 to 1941, Wismar pro-
duced these railbuses in a wide
variety of gauges, from 750 mm
to standard, for railways across
Europe.

OPERATION
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power
control switch mounted under the
floor (Fig. 1, 2):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights
Position 2: Power to lights and
motor
Position 3: Same as 2, but without
taillights (factory pre-
set)
Multi-Train System
The model is equipped a factory-
installed onboard decoder for the
LGB Multi-Train System. It can be
used without modifications on
analog or digital layouts. For oper-
ation with the Multi-Train System,
the model is programmed to loco
address 03. For information on
programming the loco address,
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 button
("1") to turn the interior lights on
or off.
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
function can be programmed from
the 55015 Universal Remote as
well.

Attention! For safety and reliabil-
ity, operate this model with LGB
power supplies (transformers,
power packs and controls) only.
The use of non-LGB power sup-
plies will void your warranty.
