OPERATION
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power con-
trol switch mounted inside the cab
(Fig. 1, 2):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights and smoke
generator
Position 2: Power to lights, smoke gen-
erator and motor
Position 3: same as Position 2
(factory pre-set)
Lighting
This model features directional lighting.
The model has a "flat" multi-purpose
socket, with a removable cover, on the
rear of the loco (Fig. 3). This socket can
be used to provide track power to 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 gener -
ator halfway with fluid. If the generator
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 heating ele-
ment in the center of the smoke gener-
ator. It is hot and fragile.
Hint: The smoke generator can be run
"dry" without smoke fluid.
Power Supply
Attention! For safety and reliability,
operate this model with LGB power sup-
plies (transformers, power packs and
controls) only. The use of non-LGB
power supplies will void your warranty.
Use this model with LGB power supplies
with an output of at least 1 amp. For
more information on LGB power sup-
plies for indoor, outdoor and multi-train
operation, see the LGB catalog.
Multi-Train System
This model has a direct decoder inter-
face. For Multi-Train System operation, it
can be equipped with one LGB MTS
Decoder (55020). The MTS Decoder
Interface Cable (55026) is not required.
We strongly recommend decoder instal-
lation by an LGB service station. For
more information, contact your authorized
LGB retailer (see Authorized Service).
Hint: If this model is equipped with a
decoder, the digital/analog DIP switches
on the loco circuit board must be set to
OFF. The DIP switches should remain in
