Tinplate No. 9 Freight Set with Proto-Sound® 2.0

Compatibility

While this Ready-To-Run set is equipped with everything you need to operate it, the 
design allows flexibility.  The train will operate on any traditional O-31 or larger O Gauge 
track system, including the traditional tubular track included with this set.  It is also 
compatible with most standard AC transformers, including the hobby transformer 
packaged with your set.

Transformer Compatibility and Wiring Chart

Note that many of the operational commands described in these instructions require a bell 
button, so if you are using a transformer other than the one included in this set and your 
transformer does not have its own bell button, you should consider adding one to get the 
full benefit of the system.
