• Assembling your APT-E is truly a knack. Once you’ve got the knack, you can do it in sec-
onds. But the first couple of times are very, very tricky. Doubtless people are going to com-
plain on RMWeb about how inconvenient it is to assemble this train. It took us two years
to develop this method, which allows for tilting, spreading apart on #2 radius curves, and
running ten wires between each carriage. If the complainers have a better method that can
achieve all of this, be affordable to mass produce, and is more fool proof than what we
have designed, they can start in our design office next week.
• When you’ve managed to couple up PC-1 and TC-1, repeat the process for TC-2 and PC-2.
The computer banks on TC-2 should be towards the rear of the train.
• Snap on the joint modules by just pressing them into place from above. There is no front or
rear. The joint module can be installed either way. If you don’t hear two snaps, one side is
probably not seated correctly.
