OPERATION
This model is an accurate replica of
the massive original locomotive, but
despite its size, the model will nego-
tiate "R1" curves (11000). However,
this combination of features requires
some special considerations:
- For more realistic and reliable oper-
ation, use the larger "R3" and "R5"
curves whenever possible.
- In curves, the cab swings out (Fig.
1). Make sure that your layout has
the necessary clearances before
you operate the model. Place a
straight track section in front of
bridges, tunnels or station plat-
forms, to allow the loco to realign
before passing these obstacles.
Preparation
If you want to equip the model with
the 17010 EPL Loco Magnet, you
have to install the included mounting
bracket underneath the gearbox.
(The EPL Loco Magnet is used to
trigger the 17100 EPL Track Contact.
It is available separately.) The brack-
et can be attached either on the front
or on the rear half of the gearbox:
- Next to the hinge underneath the
gearbox, there are two screws on
each side (Fig. 2).
- Remove either the front or the rear
screws.
- Place the mounting bracket so that
the number faces down and cannot
be seen. The mounting bracket
must be oriented toward the end of
the gearbox and not toward the
hinge.
- Use the two gearbox screws to
attach the mounting bracket to the
16
gearbox.
- Now you can use double-sided
adhesive tape to attach the 17010
EPL Loco Magnet between the
stops on the gearbox bottom and
those on the mounting bracket.
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power
control switch mounted inside the
cab (Fig. 3, 4):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights and
smoke generator
Position 2: Power to motors, lights
and smoke generator
Position 3: Power to sound (only
21812), motors, smoke
generator, lights and fire-
box light (factory pre-set)
Attention: Do not connect this model
to other loco models with different
starting characteristics. This can
damage the internal gearing.
Multi-Train System
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 the
function buttons to control the fol-
lowing functions:
1: Whistle
2: Brake sound
3: Bell
4: Conductor announcement: "Sehr
geehrte Fahrgäste, in Gleis 1 steht
der Personenzug nach Eisfelder
Talmühle. Bitte einsteigen und
Vorsicht bei der Abfahrt des
Zuges." (Dear passengers, on
track 1 waits the passenger train
to Eisfelder Talmühle. All aboard
and be careful as the train
leaves.)
5: Flickering firebox off/on (when
turning on, coal shoveling sound
is heard)
6: Safety valve
7: Smoke generator off/on
8: Sound off/on
(Function buttons 1-4, 6 and 8 only
for 21812.)
With a Loco Remote or Universal
Remote, press the numbered loco
function buttons. For example, to
trigger the brake sound, press button
"2" on the Loco Remote or Universal
Remote.
When using the MTS components
marked with a "p," this loco can
receive "parallel" function com-
mands, which eliminate the pause
that occurs when a "serial" command
is received.
Parallel: Command is send directly.
Serial: Command is send as a string
of "1" commands, for example, 3 = 1
+ 1 + 1).
Most MTS components can be
upgraded to parallel function com-
mands (Exceptions: first generation
55000 MTS Central Station, 55010
Train Mouse). For more information,
contact your authorized retailer or go
to www.lgb.com.
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 with the 55015 Universal
Remote.
Lighting
This model features directional light-
ing. As on the prototype, the drive-
trains are illuminated. If you prefer a
less bright illumination of the drive-
trains, replace the light bulbs with 24
volt bulbs (68513).
The model has a "flat" multi-purpose
socket, with a removable cover, on
the rear wall (Fig. 5). This socket can
be used to provide track power to
LGB cars with lighting or sound elec-
tronics.
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
