Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Maintaining your locomotive’s handrail antenna
T
he handrails on your locomotive are the antennas that receive the Radio Signal
communication from the Command Base. For optimum reception, the handrails have
been insulated from the die-cast body. Please handle the locomotive carefully to avoid
handrail damage. The handrails should not touch the locomotive’s body.
If your locomotive appears to have problems receiving communications from the
Command Base, be sure that the ends of the handrails are insulated from the body with either
an insulating washer or handrail stanchion.
