OPERATION
Preparation
Attach the engine to the tender:
- Plug the wiring cable (Fig. 1b)
from the engine into the socket
on the tender.
- Slip the coupling hook on the
engine over the loop on the ten-
der.
Attention! The cable can be
damaged by rough handling.
Attention! This "digital" engine
should only be used with the
included tender. The tender is
electronically compatible with the
engine. Other tenders may dama-
ge the engine electronics.
Operating Modes
This model has a three-way
power control switch mounted
inside the cab (Fig. 1):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights and
smoke generator
Position 2: Power to lights, smoke
generator and motor
(factory pre-set)
Multi-Train System
This model has a “D” gearbox and
two decoder interfaces, one in the
loco and one in the tender. It can
be equipped with two LGB Multi-
Train System Decoders (55020)
using Decoder Interface Cables
(55026).
We strongly recommend decoder
installation by an LGB service
station. For more information,
contact your authorized LGB
retailer or an LGB service station
(see Service).
If this model is decoder-equipped,
you can control its sounds with
the Multi-Train System. With a
Loco Remote or Universal Remo-
te, press the numbered loco func-
tion buttons. With an MTS Train
Mouse, press the loco function
button the matching number of
times. For example, to trigger the
bell, press button “2” on the Loco
Remote or Universal Remote. If
you are using a Train Mouse,
press the function button twice to
trigger the bell.
1: Whistle
2: Bell
3: Smoke generator on/off
4: Sound on/off
5: Firebox on/off
Hint: If this model is equipped
with a decoder, the digital/analog
DIP switches on the loco circuit
board will be set to OFF. On deco-
der-equipped models, the DIP
switches remain in this setting,
even if the models are used on an
analog layout.
Sound
This model features a digital elec-
tronic sound system. The volume
control is located on the bottom of
the tender.
Bell and whistle: The whistle
sounds automatically when the
locomotive is started.
The bell and whistle can also be
triggered by the LGB Sound
Magnet (17050) included with this
model. The 17050 snaps between
the ties of most LGB track sec-
tions.
The magnet in the 17050 is under
the LGB logo. If the contact is
installed with the logo on one side
of the track, it will trigger the
whistle as the model passes. If
the contact is reversed, it will trig-
ger the bell.
Air pump: After the model stops,
the air pump sounds several
times. If a low voltage (approx. 6.5
volts) is maintained, the air pump
will continue to sound at regular
intervals while the loco is stop-
ped.
Hint: This model is equipped with
a starting delay circuit. This ena-
bles the model to produce stan-
ding sounds while it is stopped.
Attention! Do not connect this
model to other loco models with
different starting characteristics.
This can damage the internal
gearing.
Hint: If this model is not used for
a long time, its capacitors will
discharge, and the sound system
will operate erratically. To rechar-
ge the capacitors, operate the
model at brisk speed for about 30
seconds. This model does not
require a battery.
Lighting
This model features directional
lighting. The model has a "flat"
multi-purpose socket, with a
removable cover, on the rear of
