operation
Open air overhead
lines
are connected in a similar manner as those of an
indoor layout. Due to the fact however, that model
railway transformers
should only be installed
indoors, it is necessary to supply the low-voltage
to a controller wh ich may be fitted outdoors in a
sheltered spot.
Two such controllers are available from the LGB
assortment:
5007 or
5012:
Electronic Controllers for up to
2

These controllers should be connected
to the Large Transformer
5006.
Three different

Care of Catenary

To improve the electrical contact resistance
and also to reduce wear of the pantograph
contacts,
the overhead wires should be
occasionally oiled with Cleaning Oil 5001
