6
interior
with
circuit
multi-purpose
ped with an LGB Multi-Train
System Decoder (55020) using a
Decoder Interface Cable (55026).
For more information, contact
your authorized LGB retailer or an
LGB service station (see Factory
Service). We recommend factory
installation of decoders (see Fac-
tory Service).
Lighting
This model has automatic direc-
tional lanterns on the front and
the rear of the loco. The cab is
also illuminated. There are two
flashing blue warning lights on the
roof. A 5-volt voltage stabilization
circuit provides constant power to
the lights, even when the loco is
moving slowly.
This model has a "flat" multi-pur-
pose socket, with a removable
cover, near the motor grille. This
socket can be used to provide
track power to cars with lighting
and sound electronics. To remove
the cover of the socket, pull it
straight out. If the cover is tight,
gently use a small tool, like a
small straight screwdriver, to pry it
out. (Do not pull out the rectangu-
lar outer housing.)
If your cars have the older,
"round" lighting connectors, use
the Light Socket Adapter (68334).
