Trolley Operating Instructions
Compatibility
The trolley will operate on any traditional O-27 or larger O Gauge track
system, including RealTrax. It is also compatible with any standard AC
transformer (See page
10
for a complete list of compatible transformers
and wiring instructions.).
Set Up and Operation
• Lubricate the trolley car as shown on page
4
.
• Place the trolley car on the track and apply power to run.
Once power has been applied, the trolley car will immediately begin
moving. The trolley will reverse direction when the Automatic
Reversing Bumper Mechanism (ARBM) in its bumper is depressed. To
do this, you may depress the bumper with your hand or run the car into
a track bumper or another car. Interrupting the transformer throttle
voltage will only affect the trolley’s speed; it will not cause the unit to
change directions.
If the trolley does not move
when you apply power, the
reversing switch may be
between positions. Gently
press in one of the
bumpers. If the car still
does not move, press in the
bumper on the other end of
the trolley.
Exercise caution when
running the trolley car into
a bumper or another car to change its direction. Running the trolley
car at excessive speed into a bumper or another car could damage
the reversing bumpers and thus disable the reversing feature.
