THE PROTOTYPE
The famous "030 T" meter-gauge
locomotives operated all over France

passenger and freight trains and also
were used for switching. Today, sev-
eral of these beautiful locomotives
can be seen in museums.

OPERATION
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power
control 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 motors, lights
and smoke generator
Position 3: Same as Position 1
(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 func-
tion button 7 to turn the smoke gen-
erator off or on.
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 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 the rear of the cab (Fig. 3). This
socket can be used to provide track
power to LGB 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 generator 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
element in the center of the smoke
generator. It is hot and fragile.
Attention! Never use the smoke gen-
erator while the smoke stack cover is
closed. Turning on the smoke gener-
ator while the stack is covered can
cause serious damage to your loco-
motive. Only close the cover when
the loco is parked with the smoke
generator off. When operating with
the Multi-Train System, the smoke
generator is switched on at all times,
unless it it switched off via the "7"
button of your remote.
Hint: The smoke generator can be
run "dry" without smoke fluid.
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 at least 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
