tion on the complete LGB program,

OPERATION
Propeller-driven railcars are fun
because of their unique operating
1
characteristics. For example:
- When you turn the speed control,
the railcar will not move immedi-
ately. It takes time for the thrust of
the propeller to build.
- Once the railcar starts to move, it
will accelerate quickly. The thrust
needed to overcome inertia is much
greater than the thrust needed to
maintain a constant speed.
- When you return the speed control
to stop ("0"), the railcar will keep
moving. To stop the railcar, create
reverse thrust by reversing the
speed control.
Attention! Excessive speed in curves
may cause derailments. Remove any
object that could be damaged from
any potential derailment area.
Attention! This model does not have
bumpers or couplers. It can be dam-
aged by towing or hitting other LGB
trains.
Multi-Train System
This model is not designed for instal-
lation of a Multi-Train System decoder.
To use this model on a Multi-Train
System layout, contact an LGB serv-
ice station (see Authorized Service).
