Caution! You must never have two power packs
and train controllers connected to the layout at
the same time.
7. Running the Train for the First Time
7.1 Controlling the Locomotive
The power cord for the power pack can be
plugged into the wall outlet after all of the connec-
tions have been made and checked and after the
control knob on the power pack or train controller
has been set to zero. The layout now has power.
Place the locomotive on the track. Turn the control
knob to the right, and the locomotive will move
forward. Turn the control knob to the left, and it
will go in reverse.

7.2 Function switch
• Triple headlights that change over with the
direction of travel.
• This model is designed for operation with
H0 2-rail DC systems (NEM standards) with
conventional DC train controller.
8. Trouble Running the Train
• If the train does not run, check to make sure
that the connections have been done as shown
in Part 6.
• Check to see if there a short circuit or an
overload on the layout or if a locomotive or
car is derailed. Correct the short circuit or the
overload by reducing the number of power
consumers (locomotives, lighted cars, etc.), and
set the derailed locomotive or car back on the
rails.
• If the locomotive is damaged, do not use it any
more. If car becomes damaged, remove this car
from the train and do not use it anymore.
9. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Check to see if hair or dirt gets on the axles on
the train and remove this hair or dirt from the
axles with the help of a pair or tweezers so that
the train runs correctly.
• The train can be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth.
• More maintenance instructions see point 14.
10. Disposing

tainer with a line through it may not be
