Catenary Power Operation

the red dot pointing to the rail that is not connected to the
catenary power supply.
CAUTION! This model may be powered with a catenary on
analog layouts only. For operation with the digital Multi-
Train System, the model must use track power. Otherwise,
dangerously high voltages may result.
Multi-Purpose Socket
This model has "flat" multi-purpose socket, with removable
covers, on the front and rear of the loco (Fig. 4). These
sockets can be used to provide track power to 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).
