2.2 Setting up the Model
The locomotive and tender are
screwed to a base to protect them
during transport. You will need a
helper to unscrew the model from
the base.
First, loosen only the mounting screws
from the tender. Do not lift the tender
by its removable superstructure! It is
best to hold the tender by the sides
of the main part of its body. Now, set
the tender on the track.
Next, loosen the mounting screws
for the locomotive. Suitable points at
which you may lift the locomotive are
the front buffers or the front buffer
beam, the smoke stack, and the floor
of the engineer's cab. Never lift the
locomotive by its running boards or
by its boiler! Doing so will cause
damage.
Never try to carry the locomotive and
the tender together by yourself. After
you have set the locomotive and the
tender on the track, the multi-pin plug
from the tender must be inserted into
the socket under the engineer's cab.
Now press the coupling between the
locomotive and the tender down
somewhat so that it can be plugged
into the opening beneath the tender
platform. Push the tender and loco-
motive together (see page 65).

Operation
The coupling normally clips into the
front position. This position makes it
possible to run the locomotive on
curves of 1,020 mm / 40-3/16".
If the coupling is clipped into the rear
position, you will have a prototypical
spacing between the locomotive and
the tender. With this setting, you can
only run the locomotive on curves
with a minimum radius of at least
3,000 mm / 118-1/8".
