Rügen Steam Loco, 53 Mh

OPERATION
Preparation
Attention! To prevent staining
during shipping, the external drive
linkages on your new LGB loco-
motive were not lubricated at the
factory. For best operation, lubri-
cate the drive linkages including
sliding surfaces, valve guides and
drive rod ends with a small amo-
unt of LGB Maintenance Oil
(50019). A small supply of LGB
Oil (yellow) is included.

Position 1: Power to lights and
smoke generator

Multi-Train System
This model has a direct decoder
interface. It can be equipped with

We strongly recommend decoder
