Configuring Locomotive for
2-Rail or 3-Rail Operation
Installing/Removing 3-Rail Pickup Rollers
Both 2-Rail and 3-Rail versions of
this locomotive can be configured
to opperate on either 2-rail or 3-rail
track by removing or adding the
center rail pickups. 3-rail track
operation requires the pickups, 2-
rail track operation does not. The
pickups are factory installed on 3-
rail versions and packaged
seperately in the locomotive box
for 2-rail versions. Each pickup
roller installs with a single phillips
screw seen in Figure 1.
Configuring for 2-Rail or 3-Rail Power Input
Once you have configured the engine for 2-rail or 3-rail operation, you must
manually set the power input switch located under the tender, to 2-rail or 3-rail
operation, as seen in figure 2.
