DB Diesel Loco, V52 901

RhB Diesel Loco Gm 4/4, 241
THE PROTOTYPE
In 1958, MaK in Kiel/Germany built a
modern diesel-hydraulic locomotive
for the Alsenschen Zementwerke
(Cement Factory of Ahlsen). Five
similar locomotives with gauges of
750 and 1000 mm were built for the
narrow gauge lines of the Deutsche
Bundesbahn (DB) in Baden-Württ-
emberg in the early 1960s. For a long
time, the DB locos hauled most
trains on these romantic lines in
southwestern Germany.
After their lines were abandoned,
some of these powerful locomotives
were not scrapped, but sold and
used on other lines. The MaK loco
found new homes on the Kreisbahn
Leer-Aurich-Wittmund and the Brohl-
talbahn. Today, it operates on the
Rhätische Bahn. One of the former
DB locos was owned by the
Steiermärkischen Landesbahnen be-
fore it was sold to the Rügenschen
Kleinbahnen.

OPERATION
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power
control switch mounted under the
loco (Fig. 1, 2):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights
Position 2: Power to motors and
lights
Position 3: same as Position 2 (fac-
tory 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 remotely control the
loco's functions. Press the lighting
button ("9" with remotes) to turn the
loco lights on or off.
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 from the 55015 Universal
Remote.
Lighting
This model features directional light-
ing. The model has a "flat" multi-pur-
pose socket, with a removable cover,
on each end wall (Fig. 3). These
sockets can be used to provide track
power to LGB cars with lighting or
sound electronics.
To remove the cover of a socket, pull
it straight out. If the cover is tight,
gently use a small straight screw-
driver to pry it out. (Do not pull out
the rectangular outer housing.)
Power Supply
Attention! For safety and reliability,
operate this model with LGB power
supplies (transformers, power packs
and controls) only. The use of non-
LGB power supplies will void your
warranty.
Use this model with LGB power sup-
plies with an output of more than 1
amp. For more information on LGB
power supplies for indoor, outdoor
and multi-train operation, see the
LGB catalog.
Attention! After extended operation,
this model may leave carbon dust or
other debris around the track. This
dust and debris can stain carpet and
other materials. Consider this when
setting up your layout. Ernst Paul
Lehmann Patentwerk and LGB of
America are not liable for any dam-
ages.
