Congratulations! You’ve just purchased the most 
feature-rich and technically advanced HO Steam 
locomotive ever produced! This highly detailed model 
includes a broader range of  features than you’ll find 
on any other HO scale steam, including smooth 
performance from a three-scale-mile-per-hour crawl 
to full throttle; “cruise control” for steady speeds 
regardless of  curves, switches and grades; built-in 
decoders for DCC and the M.T.H. Digital Command 
System (DCS); and a full range of  prototypical 
sounds. If  you’re looking for motive power that’s 
accurately detailed, smooth running, and a great deal 
of  fun to operate, it doesn’t get any better than this!

PLEASE READ BEFORE USE AND SAVE
