RailKing 2-6-0 Train Set Operating Manual

RAILKING

Compatibility

Our designers have sized the engine to operate on any traditional 0-27

or larger O Gauge track system, including RiteTrax using any standard

AC transformer including the Z-500 transformer packaged in your set.

(See page 19 for a complete list of compatible transformers as well as

wiring instructions.) All RailKing products are compatible with most

other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock, and accessories.

Equipment Options

Your ready-to-run set features a 2-6-0 steam locomotive equipped with

an operating headlight, mechanical whistle, ProtoSmoke® operating

smoke unit and a solid state electronic reverse unit. All are simple and

fun to operate. In addition to the locomotive, your set should also

include a circle of RiteTrax® track (8 curved sections), a RiteTrax®

lighted lock-on and wire harness set (for connecting the track to the

transformer) and a 50-watt Z-500 transformer and controller.

You’ll find complete instructions for choosing and setting up options in

the following pages. If you don’t read through the entire manual before

starting to operate your equipment, be sure to check the Quick Start

Basic Operating Instructions, which will give you the basics of the

operating system.
