RAILKING 0-8-0 STEAM ENGINE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing the RailKing die-cast 0-8-0 steam locomotive.

The engine’s die-cast body and tender are traditionally sized for operation
on any O-27 or larger layout. The engine is compatible with any standard
AC transformer, (see page 34 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 and tender are equipped with either an electronic whistle

or the ProtoSound® digital sound and train control system which contains
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 Basic Operating Instructions found on pages 3 and 4 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. Features not marked as ProtoSound®
features are available in both versions.
