PREMIER BURLINGTON 

ZEPHYR DIESEL ENGINE 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This Premier Burlington Zephyr Diesel engine set is of sturdy ABS construction and
operates on any O-72 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 23), 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.
