MTH GP38-2 DIESEL ENGINE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the MTH Electric Trains GP38-2 diesel
locomotive. This ¼” scale reproduction of the famous GP38-2 locomotive
measures over 15” in length and weighs almost 5 pounds. Despite its scale
size, the locomotive is capable of operating on O-31 3-rail track with most
compatible AC transformer, (see page 31 for a complete list of compatible
transformers and wiring instructions) and is completely compatible with
most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock and accessories.
The locomotive is equipped with several deluxe features that are simple and
fun to operate. Each feature is described among the following pages which
should be read before the engine is operated. For those of you who can’t
wait to get started, the
Quick Start Operating Instructions
, found on page
3, should be read so that you understand the basics of the operating system.
Please note that some features are only found in the ProtoSound® equipped
engines and are marked as such.
