Mogul Locomotive
THE PROTOTYPE
The Mogul locomotive is an
American classic. During the late
1800s and early 1900s, more than
10,000 of these versatile locos were
built for freight and passenger serv-
ice throughout North America.
The term "Mogul" refers to the "2-6-0"
wheel configuration of these locos:
two small guide wheels followed by
six big driving wheels and no trailing
wheels.

OPERATION
Preparation
Attach the engine to the tender:
- Plug the wiring cable (Fig. 1) from
the engine into the socket on the
tender.
- Slip the coupling hook on the
engine over the loop on the tender.
Attention!
The cable can be damaged
by rough handling. When discon-
necting the tender, do
not
pull on the
cable. Pull on the plug
only.
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power
control switch mounted inside the
cab (Fig. 2, 3):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights and
smoke generator
Position 2: Power to motor, lights
and smoke generator
Position 3: Power to motor, lights,
smoke generator and
firebox light (factory pre-
set)
Attention:
Do not connect this model
to other loco models with different
starting characteristics. This can
damage the internal gearing.
Multi-Train System
The model is equipped with a facto-
ry-installed onboard decoder for the
LGB Multi-Train System. It can be
used without modifications on ana-
log or digital layouts. For operation
with the Multi-Train System, the
model is programmed to loco
address 03. For information on pro-
gramming the loco address, see the
instructions for various MTS compo-
nents.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, you can remotely control the
loco’s functions. Press the lighting
button (“9” with remotes) to turn the
loco lights on or off. Press the func-
tion button 7 to turn the smoke gen-
erator off or on. Press function but-
ton 5 to turn the flickering firebox
light off or on.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, the loco features a “Back-
EMF” function. This keeps the motor
speed constant (and under normal
conditions the loco speed), even
when the load of the loco changes,
for example, in curves or on grades.
This feature does not work at top
speed, because additional voltage
must be available to overcome any
added load.
If desired, numerous functions of the
onboard decoder, such as accelera-
tion, braking, direction of travel and
many others, can be programmed
using a PC and the 55045 MTS PC
Decoder Programming Module (see
Instructions for advanced users
).
These functions also can be pro-
grammed from the 55015 Universal
Remote.
Lighting
This model features directional light-
ing. The model has a "flat" multi-pur-
pose socket, with a removable cover,
on the rear of the tender (Fig. 4). This
socket can be used to provide track
power to cars with lighting or sound
electronics.
To remove the cover of the socket,
pull it straight out. If the cover is
tight, gently use a small straight
screwdriver to pry it out. (Do not pull
out the rectangular outer housing.)
Smoke Generator
This model is equipped with a smoke
generator. A small supply of LGB
Smoke and Cleaning Fluid is included
with this model. For best operation,
fill the generator halfway with fluid. If
the generator is overfilled, it will not
convert the fluid into smoke.
Attention!
Only use LGB Smoke and
Cleaning Fluid (50010). Other fluids
may damage your locomotive.
Attention!
Never touch the heating
element in the center of the smoke
generator. It is hot and fragile.
Hint:
The smoke generator can be
run “dry” without smoke fluid.
Power Supply
Attention!
For safety and reliability,
operate this model with LGB power
supplies (transformers, power packs
and controls) only. The use of non-
LGB power supplies will void your
warranty.
Use this model with LGB power sup-
plies
with an output of at least 1
amp.
For more information on LGB
power supplies for indoor, outdoor
and multi-train operation, see the
LGB catalog.
Attention!
After extended operation,
this model may leave carbon dust or
other debris around the track. This
dust and debris can stain carpet and
other materials. Consider this when
setting up your layout. Ernst Paul
Lehmann Patentwerk and LGB of
America are not liable for any dam-
ages.
