RAILKING F-3 B UNIT 

DIESEL ENGINE

OPEATING INSTRUCTIONS

  Thank you for purchasing the RailKing production of the F-3 B Unit diesel 
engine.  The engine’s durable ABS body and die-cast trucks are
traditionally sized for operation on any O-27 Gauge track.  The engine
makes a perfect compliment for a powered Alco F-3 AA diesel engine set
and is completely compatible with most 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock
and accessories.  

 The B Unit is prewired to be operated with a Proto-Coupler™ equipped
powered engine.
