Optional Brake Cylinders
To allow proper operation of this model, the rear brake
cylinders were not installed on the front truck. However,
the brake cylinders have been enclosed with the model.
If you use this model for display only, you can install the
brake cylinders. First, remove the side frames from the truck
by removing two screws. Slide the cylinders into position.
Reattach the side frames.
Mode of Operation Switch
This model has a three-way power control switch mounted on
the rear of the loco:
Pos. 0

Pos. 1
Power to lights
Pos. 2
Power to motors and lights
Multi-Purpose Socket
The model has two "flat" multi-purpose sockets, with remo-
vable covers, on the front and rear of the loco (fig. 1). These
sockets can be used to provide track power to LGB cars
with lighting or sound electronics. The socket is used also to
power LGB F7 B-units with sound.
Running multiple units
Use the multi-purpose sockets to connect additional LGB F7
models to this locomotive. This ensures that all locos
receive power at all times. A two-wire connecting cable is
included with this model.
