Multi-Purpose Socket
This model has a general-purpose socket for a flat plug on the rear wall of the
coal bunker (Figure 3). If you are equipping a car with interior lighting or with a
sound effects module, you can connect it to the socket and power that circuit
with track voltage. To remove the cover of the socket, pull it straight out. If the
cover is tight, gently use a small straight screwdriver to pry it out (do not pull out
the rectangular outer housing).
Smoke Unit
This model is equipped with a smoke unit. Fill the smoke stack only halfway with
smoke fluid. If you put in too much fluid, the smoke unit cannot produce smoke.
Important! Use only Märklin 2420 smoke fluid. Other liquids may damage your
locomotive.
Important! Do not touch the heating element in the middle of the smoke unit. It is
hot and can break.
Note: The smoke unit can be operated “dry“ without smoke fluid.
