PREMIER E8 ABA
DIESEL ENGINE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This Premier E8 ABA Diesel engine set is of sturdy ABS construction and operates on
any O-31 track system. This Premier Diesel Engine contains state-of-the-art electronics
with many built-in automatic features for incredibly realistic operation. Despite these
advanced features, the locomotive is easy to operate with any compatible standard AC
transformer that is equipped with whistle and bell buttons (see the compatibility chart on
page 19), and is compatible with most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock, and
accessories.
This locomotive is equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0 with Digital Command System
(DCS). This new system will allow you to operate your locomotive in Command mode
(when used with the DCS Remote Control System, sold separately) or Conventional
mode. Conventional operating features are described in the following pages, while the
DCS operating features are covered in the set of operating instructions that
accompanies the DCS equipment.
Conventional Mode operation of this locomotive is
much simpler than operation of original Proto-Sound engines. For your own safety and
that of your equipment, please read the instructions before you operate this engine.
