Catenary Power Operation
This locomotive can be operated
with a powered catenary system
(see Operating Modes). The bot-
tom of this model is marked with a
red dot. Place the model on the
track with the red dot pointing to
the rail that is not connected to
the catenary power supply (Fig. 2,
3).
Hint: To operate multiple trains on
the same track, we recommend
the LGB Multi-Train System (see
Multi-Train System). With the
Multi-Train System, you can use
an unpowered catenary system
for prototypical appearance.
Hint: This model is equipped with
a starting delay circuit. This
enables the model to produce
standing sounds while it is
stopped.
Attention! Do not connect this
model to other locomotives with
different starting characteristics.
This can damage the internal
gearing.
Sound
This model features a digital elec-
tronic sound system. The volume
control is located on the under-
side of the model near the center.
All sound features described
below also can be controlled
directly with the LGB Multi-Train
System (see Multi-Train System).
Whistle: The whistle sounds
automatically when the locomo-
tive is started.
The whistle can also be triggered
by the LGB Sound Magnet
(17050) included with this model.
The 17050 snaps between the
ties of most LGB track sections.
The magnet in the 17050 is under
the LGB logo. If the contact is
installed with the logo on the right
side of the track (in the direction
of travel), it will trigger the whistle
as the model passes.
Main Switch: When the throttle is
turned on, you first hear the main
switch being turned on. When the
loco is stopped and the throttle is
turned to zero, turning off the
main switch is the last sound.
Air Pump: After the main switch
sound and before the loco starts,
you hear the air pump. The air
pump runs for about 20 seconds.
Main Fan: After the air pump is
turned off, the main fan is
switched on. It starts and runs in
the first setting. As soon as the
loco starts moving, the fan is
switched to the second setting.
After the loco stops, the main fan
is switched off.
Vacuum Pump: The vacuum
pump is switched on after the loco
has stopped and the main fan has
been turned off. You hear the first
setting, then the second, faster
setting, and finally the third,
fastest setting. If a low voltage
(approx. 6.5 volts) is maintained
after the model stops, the vacuum
pump sound will continue while
the loco is stopped.
Motor Noise: When the loco
starts moving, the motor noise is
audible (similar to an old street-
car). The pitch and sound of this
noise changes as the speed
increases. At high speeds, the
gear noise can clearly be heard.
At moderate speeds (about two
wheel rotations per second), the
sound of worn siderod bearings is
audible. This sound decreases as
the speed increases, and at high
speeds, this sound cannot be
heard.
Brake: To trigger the "squealing"
brake sound, reduce the model's
speed slowly. This requires a
skilled hand and a little practice.
Hint: If this model is not used for
a long time, its capacitors will dis-
charge, and the sound system will
operate erratically. To recharge
the capacitors, operate the model
at brisk speed for about 30 sec-
onds.
Multi-Train System
This model has a decoder inter-
face. For Multi-Train System oper-
ation, it can be equipped with one
LGB MTS Decoder (55020) and
one MTS Motor Booster (55030)
using one MTS Decoder Interface
Cable (55026).
We strongly recommend decoder
installation by an LGB service
station. For more information,
