Basic Operation
The Throttle knob controls how fast your train will travel. Turn the throttle
knob up ½-way, until the engine and caboose lights shine bright. Put the engine
into motion by pressing the Direction button on your transformer once. (hold it
for approximately 1 second)
If the engine does not begin to move as soon as you firmly press the Direction
button, you may not have sent enough voltage to the track to make the train
move. Turn the throttle up a bit higher until the train begins to move.
Activating Features
Throttle
- To increase or decrease track voltage, and therefore train speed, turn
the throttle control knob. Turning clockwise will increase voltage and speed,
while turning counterclockwise will decrease voltage and speed. The engine
will maintain the speed you set after you release the throttle until you turn it
again to change the voltage and speed.
Bell
- To sound the bell, in an engine equipped with a bell firmly press and
release the Bell button. To turn the bell off, press and release the Bell button
again. The bell will continue to ring from the time you turn it on until you press
and release the button again to turn it off.
Horn/Whistle
- To sound the whistle, firmly press the Horn/Whistle button. The
whistle will sound for as long as you continue to depress the button. It will stop
when you release the button.
Direction
- Your train is programmed to start in neutral. The train will always
cycle neutral-forward-neutral-reverse with each press and release of the
direction button. The engine is programmed to restart in neutral each time the
track voltage is turned off for 25 seconds or more.
