the front of the tender. The tender should be attached by the
drawbar at the back of the locomotive and the front of the
tender to make sure the hose does not pull out of the
locomotive.
Open the butane flow valve on the tender slightly to release the
butane and then press the ignition button manually. You will
hear the rush of the flame ignition. Then you will hear a thump
and a steady whistle once the flame is in progress.
Sparking the Ignition Flame
Open the Butane valve further and slowly until a steady flame
is in use. This can only be determined by trial and error.
The heating process will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Note: the
transmitter throttle must be in the center/neutral position
in order to build pressure.
Please see the warning on page 14 for removing or adding
water!
Continue to heat the water and you will notice the pressure
gauge going up. When it rises to 30 psi (pounds per square
inch) and the top cylinder valves begin to release steam vapor,
the heating process is over and your train is ready to run.
