Basic Operation

The Throttle knob controls how fast your train will travel.  

Turn the throttle knob up ½-way, until the engine lights shine bright.  

Put the engine into motion by pressing the Direction button on your transformer 
once. (hold it for approximately 1 second)

If  the engine does not begin to move as soon as you firmly press the Direction 
button, you may not have sent enough voltage to the track to make the train move.  
Turn the throttle up a bit higher until the train begins to move.

Activating Features

Throttle

 - To increase or decrease track voltage, and therefore train speed, turn the 

throttle control knob. Turning clockwise  will increase voltage and speed, while 
turning counterclockwise will decrease voltage and speed.  The engine will maintain 
the speed you set after you release the throttle until you turn it again to change the 
voltage and speed.

Bell

 - To sound the bell, in an engine equipped with a bell firmly press and release 

the Bell button. To turn the bell off, press and release the Bell button again.  The 
bell will continue to ring from the time you turn it on until you press and release 
the button again to turn it off. 

Horn/Whistle

 - To sound the whistle, firmly press the Horn/Whistle button. The 

whistle will sound for as long as you continue to depress the button.  It will stop 
when you release the button.
