Multi-Train System
The model is equipped with a "DCC interface" to connect a
3 amp decoder. Remove the plug on the decoder interface
and connect the decoder. We recommend the LGB 55027
MTS Loco Decoder III. Its plug fits directly onto the pins of
the interface.
The power control switch does not work when a decoder is
installed.
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.
Rack Operation
LGB rack locomotives can operate on grades of up to 25%,
climbing 250 mm for every 1000 mm of horizontal distance.
They can be used on rack sections and on regular "adhesi-
on" sections.
To install a cog rack, install the 10220 holders between the
track ties. Snap the 10210 racks into the holders from above.
