even when the load of the loco changes, for example, in
curves or on grades.
Rack Operation
LGB rack locomotives can be used on rack sections and on
regular "adhesion" sections. To install a cog rack, install the
10220 holders between the track ties. Snap the 10210 racks
into the holders from above.
Hints:
• Avoid grades steeper than 25%.
• Avoid abrupt transitions in the gradient of your tracks.
Use several short straight track sections, like the 10150,
at the beginning and the end of a steep section.
• Avoid sharp curves on rack sections. The cog wheel may
slide off the rack.
• To avoid accidental uncoupling, we recommend installing
coupler hooks on both ends of all rolling stock. A second
coupler hook can be installed on the front of the loco as
well.
