switch the sound on and off from
your MTS control.
Attention!
When using the Multi-
Train System, do not connect
sound cars to loco lighting sock-
ets using the older, round connec-
tors. Short circuits may occur.
Fire hazard!
Instead, use metal
wheel sets to pick up power
directly from the tracks (see
Track Power Conversion
). If
your loco is equipped with the
newer, flat socket, you can power
the sound car from the loco sock-
et. (The flat sockets are equipped
with short-circuit protection.)
Hint:
When operating the model
with the Multi-Train System, the
battery is not necessary.
Track Power Conversion
This sound car can be modified to
pick up power directly from the
track. This modification requires
tools and the following parts:
- 67403 Ball Bearing Wheel Sets,
2 pieces
- Approximately 50 cm (1.5 ft) of
two-wire cable
The ball-bearing wheels are
equipped with integrated power
pickups. They also reduce friction,
allowing you to pull longer trains.
To perform the modification:
- Remove the old wheel sets.
- Drill a hole in the floor of the car
to route the wires (Fig 5).
Attention!
Do not drill through
the printed circuit board.
- Install the ball bearing wheel
sets.
- For each wheel set, cut a length
of cable that runs from the pins
on the axle through the hole in
the car floor to the terminal strip
on the circuit board.
- Solder or crimp a connector
(included with Ball Bearing
Wheel Sets) to one end of each
wire. Connect the wires to the
pins on the wheel sets (Fig. 4).
- Route the cables through the
floor and connect them to the
terminal strip on the circuit
board (Fig. 1, 2).
Attention!
Do not cross-connect
the pins of the wheel sets. This
will cause a short circuit.
Car Lighting and Track Power
To provide track power for car light-
ing or other applications, the print-
ed circuit board is equipped with
track power terminals (Fig. 1, 2).
