Service). We recommend factory
installation of decoders (see Fac-
tory Service).
CAUTION! If this model is equip-
ped with Multi-Train System deco-
ders, do not operate this model
with catenary power. Operate
decoder equipped locos with track
power only.
Lighting
This model has automatic direc-
tional lanterns on both ends of the
loco. Depending on the direction
of travel, all three lights shine on
the "front" and one shines on the
"back." The cab is also illumina-
ted. A 5-volt voltage stabilization
circuit provides constant power to
the lights, even when the loco is
moving slowly.
This model has "flat" multi-purpo-
se sockets, with removable
covers, on both ends of the loco
(Fig. 3). These sockets can be
used to provide track power to
cars with lighting and sound elec-
tronics. If your cars have the older,
"round" lighting connectors, use
the Light Socket Adapter (68334).

Attention! For safety and reliabi-
lity, operate this model with LGB
power supplies (transformers,
power packs and controls) only.
The use of non-LGB power sup-
plies may void your warranty.
For this model, we recommend an
LGB power supply with a power
output of 1 amp or more. For more
information on LGB power sup-
plies for indoor, outdoor and multi-
