Operation
ATTENTION!
Do not connect this
model to other loco models with dif-
ferent starting characteristics. This
can damage the internal gearing.

Lighting
The head light of the loco (on/off)
changes according to its direction of
travel. The drivetrains are illuminated
like the original.
Note:
If you prefer a less bright illumina-
tion of the drivetrains, replace the
light bulbs with 24 volt bulbs1.
Multi-purpose socket
The model has a multi-purpose sock-
et, suitable for flat connectors, on the
rear wall (Fig. 6).
Function:
This socket can be used to provide
track power to LGB coaches with
lighting or sound electronics.
For this purpose, gently remove the
cover of the socket using a small
straight screwdriver to pry it out.
ATTENTION!
Do not pull out the rect-
angular outer housing.
Steam generator
Note:
Owing to the large amount of steam
generated, we recommend to air
rooms sufficiently when the locomo-
tive is used indoors.
Functions:
- Steam chuffs synchronized with
wheel revolutions
- Fan speed when standing (min. 2.5
sec.) = minimum
- Running dry protection
- When the tank is empty, the heat-
ing and fan will be switched off
after approx. 2 minutes.
ATTENTION!
Only use LGB Steaming
and Cleaning Fluid2. Other fluids
may damage your locomotive.
Please observe the instructions on
the sample or bottle.
The steam generator can be run
"dry" without steaming fluid.
Analog mode

Decoder can also be operated on tra-
ditional analog systems without
making any alterations, provided that
this function has not been changed
in the CV settings.
