Thank you for purchasing the MTH Electric Trains E-8 diesel locomotive.

compatible AC transformer (see the chart on page 35 for a complete list of
compatible transformers and wiring instructions) and is completely
compatible with most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock and

The locomotive is equipped with several deluxe features that are simple
and fun to operate. Each feature is described among the following pages
which should be read before the engine is operated. For those of you who
can’t wait to get started, the Quick Start Basic Operating Instructions

the operating system. Please note that some features are only found in the
ProtoSound® models and are marked as such. Features not marked as
